Head of Finance

We’re looking for a smart, passionate, team-oriented Finance Leader to support the growth of our business. This role would report to the Vice President of Operations & Strategy, but maintain a direct 1:1 relationship with the CEO.

What you’ll do

• Lead and grow the Finance function, from both a strategic and operational perspective
• Provide the financial lens on strategic decisions by determining the appropriate SaaS metrics, evaluating our performance vs. appropriate benchmarks, leading scenario creation, etc.
• Own FP&A: revenue/profit forecasting and input to the lead-team of the financial impact and sensitivities of strategic decisions
• Participate and present in Leadership Team meetings and Board meetings, serving as a critical voice in the direction of the company
• Support the creation of the company Operating Plan, in partnership with the VP of Operations & Strategy, Leadership Team Members, and the CEO
• Support fundraising efforts, as required
• Own internal controls, monthly reporting of financial statements (BS, P&L, SoCF), tax/audit compliance, and P&L reconciliation of forecast vs. budget.
• Manage 1 seasoned Finance employee to cover operational finance topics, including AP, AR, and expense management, with potential additional headcount depending on final scope. This employee is fully onboarded with day-to-day management
• Create tools and insights (in partnership with your team) to empower leaders to make sound financial decisions and business case assessments
• Grow with us. The ideal candidate will show the ambition and aptitude to grow into our Chief Financial Officer

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience as a leader or senior contributor in a SaaS start-up that has scaled from Series B stage to later rounds
• Demonstrated ability to think and communicate strategically to an executive audience
• Direct operational experience - though you do have a team to manage the day-to-day, we expect everyone at ClimateAi to “roll up their sleeves” when needed
• Experience supporting fundraising rounds in a SaaS / post-Series B context from either an operating or investing perspective
• Comfort with ambiguity - take problems without a clear answer and define an answer using practical assumptions and defensible logic
• Experience in VC, PE, or Investment Banking is a plus
• Management and hiring experience is a plus
• Most importantly, a passion for climate change solutions
