📋 Description

• Own the model, not just the math: Maintain and continuously improve a driver-based, forward-looking model that maps to reality. Build scenarios (base/low/high), pressure-test assumptions, and translate “levers” into clear tradeoffs for leadership. • Live in our unit economics: Track and improve margins and P&Ls by location; cohort and segment intelligently (region, seasonality, property type, etc.); surface insights and partner with the Operations team to increase contribution margin and reduce complexity as we scale. • Turn data into decisions: Build lightweight, reliable budget vs. actuals and KPI dashboards (cash, runway, sales productivity, marketing efficiency, portfolio performance) that leaders can use every day, not just once per quarter. • Upgrade our finance stack: Lead our transition from QuickBooks to a scalable ERP, partner with the in-house Accounting team to rationalize the chart of accounts, tighten close processes, and ensure clean books that roll up cleanly to corporate. • Cap table & equity operations: Own Carta hygiene, option grants, refreshes, and board approvals in an accurate, timely, buttoned-up, and market-informed manner. • Investor & board readiness: Keep us “always ready” with consistent metrics definitions, a clean data room, and crisp monthly/quarterly reporting. Make sure the story and the numbers match. • Vendor spend & commercial rigor: Identify large cost buckets, renegotiate where we have leverage, and standardize commercial terms to reduce one-off complexity. Partner with Sales & Operations to hold the line on templates that scale. • Compensation & leveling: Partner with leadership on comp philosophy, leveling frameworks, annual reviews, and headcount planning that align with goals and runway. • Legal/G&A stewardship: Coordinate commercial contract review, insurance matters, and office operations as needed; bring in external counsel efficiently and build toward pragmatic in-house coverage over time. • Capital strategy & banking: Maintain cash forecasts, evaluate debt options, cultivate banking relationships, and plan for audits as we grow. • Create leverage for everyone: Build simple ROI templates and decision frameworks so teams can stack-rank projects, weigh paybacks, and move quickly without sacrificing financial discipline.

🎯 Requirements

• Built-from-scratch experience: You’ve been the first or very early finance hire at a high-growth company and have personally implemented systems, closed the books, owned the model, and taken a company through its first audits. • Hands-on operator: You’re comfortable toggling between 10,000-ft strategy and ground-level detail. You’ll roll up your sleeves to fix a mapping in the ERP at 10am and present a board-ready scenario at 2pm. • Modeling + judgment: Strong command of driver-based modeling, scenario analysis, and cohort economics paired with the judgment to simplify and focus on what moves the business. • Systems & process builder: Experience moving from QuickBooks to ERP. You know how to design a chart of accounts, shorten close cycles, and make data trustworthy. • Story + numbers: Clear communicator who can translate complexity into crisp narratives for executives, the board, banks, and investors while keeping the story aligned with the data. • Commercial and vendor acumen: Comfortable reviewing terms, standardizing templates, and leading vendor renegotiations that materially improve unit economics. • People partnership: Experience supporting comp design, leveling, and workforce planning with a pragmatic, operator-friendly approach. • Bias for action: You move fast, measure results, and improve the system every cycle. You know when “80/20 and shipping” beats “perfect and late.” Your mindset is that Finance should never slow the company down and does not exist to make the final decision but rather serves as a supporting function for other leaders in the business to quickly make more informed decisions. • Order maker, not order taker: You don't wait to be asked — you notice the gap, build the model, and bring a recommendation. Finance's agenda is something you set, not something handed to you. • Strongly preferred: Multi-location and or revenue-share or transactional business exposure, hardware or inventory familiarity, prior ownership of legal and G&A functions beyond “pure” finance, and experience preparing for and leading the company’s first audits.

🏖️ Benefits

• Equity: Have a stake in the business that you’re helping to build and grow. • Work remotely: Live and work wherever you like! We believe in folks working where they are happiest and most productive. We currently hire teammates that are located anywhere within North America. • Health insurance: We offer health insurance and currently cover 85% of the cost of medical, dental, and vision plans for the primary employee and 50% of the cost of plans for dependents. • Parental Leave: We offer 12 weeks of fully paid parental leave to all parents to bond with a newly born, adopted, or fostered child. The 12 weeks can be taken as a continuous leave or intermittently over the first 18 months of the child's life. • Home office setup: Get a laptop + additional equipment needed to set you up for success. • Time to recharge: We have an unlimited PTO policy with a minimum requirement of 10 days per year. • 401k: Make financial planning right for you with a 401k retirement savings program. • Team Off-sites: ~2 times per year our team comes together for a full week in places like Tahoe, Charleston, San Diego, Park City, and Austin. • BookGarage: Our team loves to learn and grow together, so join us for our optional recurring book club. • Room to grow: Our team will be orders of magnitude larger within a few years; as a part of our foundational team, you'll have opportunities to grow with us. • Transform our cities: The opportunity to change the way that the world thinks about real estate use in our cities. • Work with a diverse team: At AirGarage, we've always been committed to building a thriving team that represents the communities we serve. Our team is currently 40% female and 30%+ from underrepresented communities.
