Chief Financial Officer

Required

• You're an AI super user: Non-negotiable. You run AI across your own work today and have opinions about where it fails
• You've run finance and owned a balance sheet: CFO or VP Finance owning the whole function at a venture-backed company, through a priced round and the growth after it
• You're hands-on: You build the model yourself, you can close the books if you have to, and you work without a team on day one
• You've been the CEO's copilot on a fundraise: The model, the data room, the diligence, and a straight read on terms
• You think from first principles about scaling a company in a new era: Usage-based revenue, real cost of goods, compute as both cost and leverage. The old SaaS playbook doesn't carry over, and you know why
• What We're NOT Looking For
• The fundraising CFO: Great in the data room, hazy on where last month's margin went
• The pure controller: Brilliant on the close, uninterested in the capital strategy, board, and pricing work
• The budget cop: Measures success in spend blocked and deals slowed
• The big-company operator: Has never built a model from a blank sheet or hired the first person on a team
• The SaaS-only thinker: Believes usage-based revenue is seat-based SaaS with variable invoices
• The compute skeptic: Treats inference spend as a line to cut rather than a line to understand. Here it's how we make money and how we get work done
