What you'll do

  • Take the finance function to the next level: set up the processes and tools needed to scale, using automation and AI wherever it makes sense
  • Own RevOps and revenue data (ARR, renewals, churn, upsells) and turn it into insights for growth, customer success and product teams
  • Build and maintain financial planning, dashboards, investor reporting and relations
  • Own invoicing, contracts and payments with customers
  • Manage accounting operations and be the main point of contact for tax advisors; depending on experience, may also take over payroll
  • Support fundraising efforts: package up metrics, prepare materials and help shape the strategy; drive non-dilutive funding such as grants
  • Handle all non-employee legal matters (customer contracts, supplier agreements etc.) and be the point of contact to external legal counsel
  • Own the customer contract framework (T&Cs, DPA) and work with the sales team on contract solutions
  • Prepare legal due diligence in fundraising and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements together with the information security team
  • Manage external partners (tax advisors, legal counsel) and follow up relentlessly until important matters are done

What we're looking for

  • Fluent in German (C2 / Native) and business proficiency in English (C1+)
  • Deep hands-on experience owning operational and strategic finance in a start-up / scale-up environment
  • Knowledge of German accounting and tax basics and comfort reviewing and negotiating commercial contracts
  • Experience with CRM and revenue data (e.g. HubSpot) and understanding of how deals, contracts and billing data should flow between systems
  • Demonstrated experience building financial models, dashboards or introducing data-driven decision making, and/or implementing AI-driven tools or automations that measurably reduced manual work
  • Proven track record of owning and executing projects from A to Z in a high-ownership, self-managed position, ideally building up processes or a function from scratch
  • Extreme detail-orientation: ability to be in the weeds of the details to ensure success and accuracy

Nice to have

  • Master's degree in business, finance, economics, law or a related quantitative field
  • Prior experience in a fast-paced startup or equivalent high-performance environment (e.g. B2B SaaS, Consulting, PE, IB, VC)
  • Experience through a fundraise or due diligence process, on either side of the table
  • Payroll experience and experience with DATEV and tax advisors
