- Investor Relations & Board Engagement: Lead board materials, manage investor updates, and work closely with the CEO on fundraising narratives, due diligence, and strategic finance.

- Accounting, Compliance & Vendor Oversight: Partner with external firms to ensure timely close, compliance, and accurate reporting across payroll, taxes, and audits.
What We're Looking For- 8+ years in Finance & Strategy roles, with 2-3+ years in a Series A-C VC-backed startup or high-growth tech company.
- Strong financial modeling, capital allocation, and strategic analysis skills, with experience building financial processes from scratch.
- Proven experience in corporate strategy, market analysis, or business development - you think beyond the spreadsheet.
- Board & investor communication experience, including leading board decks, metrics reviews, and fundraising materials.
- Operational mindset with experience implementing OKR frameworks, dashboards, and systems (e.g., Rippling, ERP, HubSpot, SaaS billing platforms).
- Collaborative leadership and bias for action, aligned with Autonomize's cultural values: full-stack ownership, customer obsession, and operating in the final mile.
