The Role
We are hiring our first dedicated Financial Operations professional. You will own reconciliation from day one, building the processes, controls, and tooling that ensure every dollar moving through our platform is accounted for. From there, you will expand into payment operations, treasury, collections, disputes, and financial reporting as the company scales.
This role is equal parts hands-on executor and process builder. You will not inherit a playbook. You will write it. The right person is a seasoned individual contributor who is energized by ownership, comfortable operating without a team beneath them, and ready to grow with the function.
