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.
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.
6–10 years of progressive finance experience
~ Proven hands-on expertise — ideally in a SaaS or scale-up environment
~ German speaker, based in Berlin (or able to relocate)
~ Shape the financial future of a venture-backed, impact-driven startup
