About Campfire

Campfire is the AI-native ERP built for lean finance teams. Automate reconciliations, close faster, and scale revenue without adding headcount. Backed by Accel, Y Combinator and Techstars.

About the role

You'll own how Campfire makes money on every deal. Pricing strategy, deal structuring, partner economics, and the systems that make it all repeatable. You'll model a deal like you're underwriting it, then write the code that makes the next hundred deals faster. You'll work directly with sales leadership, legal, finance, and business operations, and you'll have real authority to say yes, no, and "here's a better structure."

What they're looking for

  • We care more about trajectory than pedigree. If you've built impressive things from an unusual starting point, we want to hear from you
  • Investor-trained. 2-4 years in investment banking, management consulting, private equity, strategic finance, or a related finance function, with experience at a high-growth technology company a plus. You think in returns, downside cases, and term sheets
  • AI-native in how you work. You already use tools like Claude Code to build models, automate analysis, and get more done than a team twice your size. You're comfortable building and have shipped something real: a model, a pipeline, a tool people used
  • Intellectually sharp. You find the flaw in a structure before anyone else does, and you can explain it in one sentence
  • A clear communicator. You can walk leadership or the board through a complex deal or pricing change and leave them with a decision, not a spreadsheet
  • Extreme ownership. You treat Campfire's revenue like your own money. You're the person who stays on the deal until it's right, and who people trust with the hardest calls
