Seneca The Business Operations Lead at Seneca manages strategic finance, accounting, contracts, compliance, purchasing, payroll, benefits, and office operations. This role partners closely with the CEO and external resources to scale operations and support key company moments.

Responsibilities

Seneca is seeking a Business Operations Lead to run strategic finance, accounting, contracts, insurance, compliance, purchasing, payroll and benefits, and the office. Right now those things are spread across an outside accounting firm, a payroll vendor, outside counsel, a fractional Head of Ops and the CEO. As we continue to scale, we are seeking someone who can up-level this organization both in terms of our daily operations and in key moments like M+A, equity and debt financings, key partnerships etc.
This role reports to the CEO with tight partnership. There will be opportunity to hire and/or bring in additional outside resources over the next twelve months.
Finance & Accounting
You run the finance function. Both FP&A and accounting.
Partner with teams to ensure they pick the right strategies for both cost and revenue optimization as Seneca scales.
Own the monthly close with our outside accounting firm.
Get the accounting right for a hardware company moving into production: inventory, BOMs, capitalized R&D, fixed assets, and revenue recognition on multi-year contracts with agencies and utilities.
Handle invoicing and collections, including milestone billing on government and utility contracts.
Figure out the right policies for expense management and suggest our monthly budget – keeping us tracking to it.
Keep the budget and board package current.
Contracts, Compliance & Risk
Own contracts. Work with outside counsel on customer agreements, supplier terms, NDAs, and government contracting paperwork. Know what we have signed and what it commits us to.
