2. Build a Next-Generation Finance Stack

• Collaborate with product and AI teams to build automation into financial processes—including reporting, reconciliation, and payouts—through custom tools and integrations.
• Champion a data-first approach to finance, enabling self-serve dashboards, real-time insights, and audit-ready systems.

3. Cross-Functional Partnership

• Serve as a strategic advisor to product, engineering, business, compliance, and operations teams.
• Provide finance leadership in go-to-market decisions, pricing models, and product monetization strategy.

4. Fundraising & Financial Planning

• Lead financial modeling, budgeting, and forecasting processes to support executive decision-making and investor reporting.
• Partner with the CEO and leadership team to prepare board materials and fundraising narratives grounded in strong financial metrics.

What We’re Looking For

• 8+ years of experience in finance operations or FP&A, ideally in a fast-growing fintech or payments company
• Deep understanding of accounting standards, regulatory requirements, and international financial operations
• Strong track record in scaling finance systems and processes through automation
• Excellent analytical and communication skills, with the ability to influence across functions and leadership levels

Bonus Points For

• Experience in the payments, SaaS, or cross-border commerce sectors
• Familiarity with ERP systems and financial tools (e.g., NetSuite, Stripe, Looker, Airbase, or custom-built solutions)
• Passion for AI and using technology to build intelligent financial systems
