We are looking for a mission-driven, execution-oriented senior finance leader to join our executive team, reporting directly to the CEO. The ideal candidate combines strong strategic thinking with the ability to operate at the ground level—developing models, solving problems, and elevating the performance of the finance function. This person will play a pivotal role in shaping the company’s growth, culture, and long-term value creation.

As a member of the executive team, the VP of Finance will connect financial data directly to company strategy, partner across departments—especially with Sales and Marketing—and lead all aspects of corporate finance, including fundraising, strategic transactions, capital planning, and financial operations. This role will directly manage FP&A, accounting, contracting, and AR/AP personnel. The right candidate brings not only SaaS and services experience, but also a solid understanding of manufacturing environments where precision and cost discipline are critical.
