Why This Role Exists

We are at an inflection point in our growth. As we scale, finance becomes a strategic lever, not just a reporting function. We are looking for a high-potential leader who wants to step into that challenge early in their career.

with the CEO, own the financial model, and help shape how we invest, grow, and scale.

You will also be accountable for the accuracy and integrity of our financials, including close, audit readiness and partner management.
