An AI, venture-backed startup in Berlin is looking to hire a Head of Finance to support the CEO and report directly to the board.
I’m working with a high-growth, venture-backed AI startup that’s rapidly expanding across Europe. They are seeking a hands-on Head of Finance to take full ownership of the finance function. You’ll join a lean team - currently one junior finance hire - with scope to build and grow the finance team as the business scales.
What You’ll Do
You’ll work closely with the CEO, covering all aspects of finance from reporting and FP&A to KPIs, cash flow, budgeting, and preparing board and investor materials. This is very much a hands-on role: they want someone who is comfortable rolling up their sleeves, getting into the details, and putting scalable processes in place to support international growth.
What They’re Looking For
* 6–10 years of progressive finance experience
* Proven hands-on expertise — ideally in a SaaS or scale-up environment
* Strong understanding of SaaS metrics and recurring revenue models
* German speaker, based in Berlin (or able to relocate)
* Entrepreneurial mindset — comfortable working independently in a fast-moving company and leading as the team grows
Why This Role?
* Report directly to the CEO and work alongside investors and the advisory board
* Shape the financial future of a venture-backed, impact-driven startup
* Build and grow a finance team as the company scales across Europe
* Competitive base salary, equity, and real progression opportunities
