Drive Digital Transformation: Lead the implementation of modern, AI-driven financial workflows to automate routine tasks (AP/AR, invoicing), allowing your team to focus on high-value analysis rather than data entry.

Team Leadership: Mentor and develop a high-performing, lean finance team (currently 2). You will set the standard for accuracy, speed, and strategic insight.

Cross-Functional Alignment: Work closely with Operations, Product, and Sales to align financial goals with business objectives, ensuring our pricing and operational models support our long-term margin goals.

Experience: 10+ years in Finance leadership roles, with a proven track record of scaling a SaaS or EnergyTech finance function through high-growth phases (e.g., $5M to $20M+ ARR). Series A-C experience is required. M&A experience a plus.

Domain Expertise: Deep understanding of Accounting (GAAP), FP&A, and SaaS metrics (CAC, LTV, Churn, Net Retention). CPA or MBA preferred.

Systems Expertise: Proven expertise in implementing and migrating ERP systems and optimizing tech stacks. Experience with Salesforce, Odoo, and Xero is a strong plus.

Startup Grit: Ability to toggle seamlessly between high-level strategy (Board decks, fundraising) and low-level execution (managing cash flow models, reconciliation) without hesitation.

Communication: Exceptional ability to translate complex financial data into clear, actionable insights for non-financial stakeholders and investors.

Why Join us?

Mission-Driven Scale: Join a passionate team that is accelerating the adoption of clean energy through innovative software, where your work directly contributes to a sustainable future

Equity in a Category Leader: We offer a competitive equity package that aligns your success directly with the company's long-term value and exit potential.
