• Continuously forecast our finances, reconcile them with performance, and use this to inform all major decision making including hiring and fundraising.
• Help with our complex capacity planning and staffing needs: how to staff simultaneous complex enterprise projects when the scale is growing constantly
• Build and maintain a budget, and control our finances. This should not just be a routine practice but a strategic activity to reduce our costs without compromising our performance.
• People: We have an excellent engine for sourcing and selecting the best engineering talent. You will run the practicalities of payroll, compensation, contracts, probations, terminations.
• Fundraising and investor relations: you will play a key role in creating material for investors and interacting with them directly: reporting to current investors, board meetings, and pitching to future investors
• International ops (insurances, visas, etc). We travel globally to our customers. You will make sure our engineers are fully insured, have the right visas, and anything else they need to be successful. You will be strategic about this and own all the decision making: you need to see our emerging markets coming before they arrive and arrange all the practicalities so we are not slowed down. Similarly, you will run our international business administration: You will administer our entities abroad (e.G. American company), handle complex international tax implications, international employees, and decide the best approach to all related matters.
