The Role:

You will serve as a strategic finance leader and co-pilot to Trase leadership, owning capital allocation, GTM economics, and the operating system required to scale Trase from early revenue to a repeatable, scalable business.

This is not a back-office accounting role. You'll partner directly with leadership on the highest-leverage financial decisions facing the company—where to invest, how to price, and how to build the financial infrastructure that supports rapid growth. You'll operate across two dimensions: an internal operating focus that keeps the company financially disciplined and decision-ready, and an external GTM focus that connects finance to commercial strategy and market positioning.

What You'll Do:

Capital Allocation & Company Planning

• Manage runway, scenario planning, and cash visibility.
• Evaluate ROI across product, GTM channels, and customer segments to inform where Trase should double down vs. pull back.
• Translate strategic choices into financial tradeoffs and operating plans.

GTM Finance & AI Unit Economics

• Partner with GTM on sales capacity, pipeline, pricing, and customer acquisition efficiency.
• Build ROI models that connect customer value to commercial strategy.
• Track AI-specific economics such as inference/compute costs, gross margin, and revenue per deployed workflow or agent.

Finance Operations, Reporting & Systems

• Own the core finance operating cadence: budget, forecast, reporting, accounting, tax, and compliance.
• Build clean reporting so that leadership has timely, decision-ready financial visibility.
• Optimize the finance and GTM systems stack, including Salesforce, FP&A tools, and reporting workflows.

Board, Investor & RCP Communication

• Support board, investor, and Red Cell Partners reporting with clear financial narratives and metrics.
• Help prepare for future fundraising with models, KPI reporting, and performance storylines.
• Coordinate with existing owners on investor, platform, and studio-related workflows without duplicating efforts.

About You:

• 10+ years of finance experience, including strategic finance, FP&A, or operating roles at high-growth technology or SaaS companies.
• Proven track record partnering with executive leadership on capital allocation, unit economics, and company-level planning.
• Strong command of the finance operating cadence: budgeting, forecasting, reporting, accounting, tax, and compliance.
• Hands-on with finance and GTM systems, including Salesforce and modern FP&A tooling.
• Experience supporting board and investor reporting; fundraising preparation a strong plus.
• Comfortable operating with ambiguity in an early-stage, fast-moving environment—able to move between strategic framing and hands-on execution.

What This Is Not:

• A pure accounting or controllership role
• A back-office function disconnected from commercial strategy
• A role that waits for direction rather than driving it

This is a true co-pilot role—building the financial operating system that scales Trase from early revenue into a repeatable, durable business.

Why Trase:

• Deployed platform, real results—we're not selling a roadmap. Trase is in production with demonstrated outcomes.
• A defining market moment. Every enterprise is trying to operationalize AI at scale—you'll be shaping the economics of how that happens.
• True ownership. You're building the financial infrastructure, the models, and the operating cadence. The people who join now define how this company operates for years.
• Backed by Red Cell Partners with a leadership team that has operated at scale, including our President, formerly VP of AI/ML at AWS.

Compensation: Competitive base salary plus bonus and equity. This represents the typical compensation structure for this position based on experience, skills, and other factors.
