You're Our Person If... • Experience as a CFO, strategic finance leader, or senior finance executive in a Series B–D or similarly high-growth technology company. • Deep understanding of startup economics, SaaS/AI business models, and growth-stage operating decisions. • Exceptional financial modeling and analytical judgment. • Experience partnering directly with founders and executive teams. • Ideally, experience spanning both venture-backed companies and scaled/public-company environments. • Comfortable challenging assumptions and bringing an operator's perspective to investment decisions.
