Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
Own and build the entire finance function across entities in Switzerland and Germany, focusing on FP&A, strategic planning, and liquidity discipline. Partner with the CEO and Chief of Staff to manage capital raises and translate raw financial data into actionable business decisions.
Requires 2-8 years of finance experience, ideally from Big 4 audit/transaction services or a growth-stage company. Must be fluent in German and English with strong financial modeling skills and familiarity with Swiss and German accounting frameworks.
Europe's defense industrial base cannot respond at the speed modern conflict requires. Legacy suppliers operate on month-long timelines. Tribal knowledge is retiring. Supply chains are fragile. SAEKI is building the operating system for autonomous factories — the infrastructure that lets Europe manufacture mission-critical components at software speed.
You'll be the person who builds the financial backbone underneath all of it. As we scale across two countries, raise capital, and stand up production, you are the one who makes sure we always know where we stand, where the money goes, and how far the runway reaches.
As Finance Manager, you own operating finance across both of SAEKI's entities — our HQ in Zurich (Switzerland) and Factory ONE in Munich (Germany). You run FP&A and strategic planning, build the models leadership steers by, and work hand-in-hand with the Chief of Staff on our upcoming debt raise.
This is not a close-the-books-and-report-up role. You are building the function: the planning process, the cash and liquidity discipline, the reporting that turns raw numbers into decisions. One week you're modeling scenarios for the financing round, the next you're setting up intercompany flows between CH and DE, the next you're sitting with production to understand unit economics on the factory floor.
You work closely with the Chief of Staff, and partner with everyone — external accountants and auditors, banks and investors, and the operations team in Munich. You bring rigor and pace in equal measure, and you grow into broader ownership of the finance organization as the company scales.
Based at our HQ in Zurich.
