You will serve as a strategic finance leader and co-pilot to Trase leadership, owning capital allocation, GTM economics, and the operating system required to scale Trase from early revenue to a repeatable, scalable business.
This is not a back-office accounting role. You'll partner directly with leadership on the highest-leverage financial decisions facing the company—where to invest, how to price, and how to build the financial infrastructure that supports rapid growth. You'll operate across two dimensions: an internal operating focus that keeps the company financially disciplined and decision-ready, and an external GTM focus that connects finance to commercial strategy and market positioning.
Requirements
- 10+ years of finance experience, including strategic finance, FP&A, or operating roles at high-growth technology or SaaS companies.
- Proven track record partnering with executive leadership on capital allocation, unit economics, and company-level planning.
- Strong command of the finance operating cadence: budgeting, forecasting, reporting, accounting, tax, and compliance.
- Hands-on with finance and GTM systems, including Salesforce and modern FP&A tooling.
- Experience supporting board and investor reporting
- fundraising preparation a strong plus.
- Comfortable operating with ambiguity in an early-stage, fast-moving environment—able to move between strategic framing and hands-on execution.
Benefits
- A pure accounting or controllership role
- A back-office function disconnected from commercial strategy
- A role that waits for direction rather than driving it
