Director of Finance
About this role
We are looking for a Senior Finance Lead with 10-15+ years of experience to serve as the first true finance leader at a $1.8B+ funded frontier robotics and AI company. You'll build the entire finance function from scratch — owning everything from strategic planning and financial modeling to accounting oversight and board reporting — while partnering directly with founders who want to hand you the keys and trust you to run it.
What will you be doing?
Building the company's financial operating model from zero — budgets, cost centers, projections, burn/runway analysis, and long-range forecasts
Serving as the "adult in the room" for finance — ensuring bills are paid on time, numbers are accurate, and spend is thoughtful
Partnering directly with founders to educate, advise, and drive strategic financial decisions for a capital-intensive business managing billions in funding
Assessing current finance/accounting talent and determining the size and shape of the finance team going forward
Owning board reporting, investor materials, and fundraising support for a high-profile Series C company
Key Requirements
10-15+ years of experience in strategic finance, FP&A, or corporate finance with meaningful startup operating experience
Has been a first finance hire or built/scaled a finance function at a high-growth, venture-backed company (Series B-D stage)
Experience in capital-intensive or AI/tech businesses — ideally from recognizable logos (e.g., Anthropic, OpenAI, Grok/NVIDIA, 11 Labs, or similar hyperscaler/frontier AI companies)
Confident, unflappable communicator who can go toe-to-toe with founders, push back with conviction, and educate non-finance leaders
Comfortable managing billions in capital and making strategic investment decisions at scale
Company at a glance

What happens next
Skip the application pile. I get you in front of the people who decide.
Confirm the fit

I pitch you to the company
I write the intro, send it to the founder, and handle the back-and-forth.
A meeting lands on your calendar
When the company wants to meet, I get the call on your calendar. You just show up.
