You'll build and lead a small team across FP&A, accounting, and operations to create the financial infrastructure for scale.

This is a high-impact role for a finance leader who thrives in fast-moving environments, is comfortable with ambiguity, and wants to help shape the trajectory of a high-growth AI company.

What You'll Do

  • Build and lead Distyl's finance function, including FP&A, accounting, and reporting from the ground up.

  • Partner closely with the COO and leadership team across Operations, Growth, and Engineering to inform key business decisions.

  • Develop financial models, forecasts, and frameworks to guide hiring, pricing, and investment decisions.

  • Create scalable processes for budget discipline, expense management, and financial accountability.

  • Lead and manage fundraising preparation, owning investor materials, scenario modeling, and due diligence readiness.

  • Design and manage monthly and quarterly close processes in partnership with external accounting firms.

  • Deliver clear, actionable financial reporting and insights for executives, the board, and investors.

  • Oversee treasury, cash management, and capital allocation to ensure financial sustainability and strategic growth.

  • Build, coach, and develop a small finance team as the company scales.

Who You Are

  • 10–15 years of progressive experience in finance, ideally across FP&A, strategic finance, and accounting.

  • Experience in high-growth technology or AI companies, with time spent leading or building finance functions.

  • Background in investment banking, consulting, private equity, or corporate FP&A.

  • Strong analytical and modeling skills, able to translate complex data into clear insights and strategic actions.

  • Excellent communicator with the ability to influence executive and board-level discussions.

  • Hands-on, pragmatic operator who builds for scale but isn't afraid to dive into the details.

  • Experience leading and growing small, high-performing teams.

  • Prior fundraising, investor reporting, or M&A experience preferred.

What We Offer

  • Competitive salary and benefits package, including equity options and healthcare.

  • The opportunity to work at a mission-driven AI startup that is transforming how Fortune 500 companies operate.

  • A fast-paced, dynamic work environment where your contributions will directly impact the company's success.

  • A collaborative culture that values professional growth and encourages taking on new responsibilities.
