Full Job Description
The Role

In this role, you own Superpower's financial operations and strategy as one connected system, not a back-office reporting function.

Payroll, AP/AR, financial planning, and board/investor reporting are built to scale with the business, not just keep pace with it. Every process you build is designed to stay tight as headcount, revenue, and complexity grow.

You work hands-on. You build the financial models, and turn raw data into the insights that shape company decisions on where to invest capital and resources. You operate directly alongside Operations, Product, Growth, and the executive team - embedded in the work, not reviewing it after the fact.

What You'll Do

Provide strategic direction to Growth, Operations, and Engineering
  • Partner directly with executives on building out Superpower's financial operations function
  • Own financial planning, forecasting, and scenario modeling
  • Bring a business-minded lens to financial data - ensuring every decision ties back to growth and sustainability

Drive financial analytics and reporting
  • Analyze cost of labor, COGS, and other key financial drivers
  • Turn financial data into insights that inform operational and strategic decision-making
  • Partner with executives to prepare board and investor materials

Build the finance machine
  • Run payroll end-to-end, including contractor and FTE payments, using tools like Deel to streamline domestic and international payroll
  • Manage and improve AP/AR processes for a combined B2C/B2B environment
  • Identify inefficiencies and implement better systems to ensure timely payments and collections as the company scales


We9re proud to be a global team and welcome talent from around the world. We offer visa sponsorship and can support relocation to the United States for the right candidates. Much of our team is international, and we9re committed to building a team of top-tier talent.
