About the role
Own the model and the margin: Build the operating model the founders and board actually use: revenue, margin, headcount, and cash. If the numbers say something we don't want to hear, you say it first Run pricing economics: Credits, prepaid and pay-as-you-go, plans, enterprise contracts, and discount authority, decided with product and revenue Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- You're an AI super user: Non-negotiable. You run AI across your own work today and have opinions about where it fails
- You've run finance and owned a balance sheet: CFO or VP Finance owning the whole function at a venture-backed company, through a priced round and the growth after it
- You're hands-on: You build the model yourself, you can close the books if you have to, and you work without a team on day one
- You've been the CEO's copilot on a fundraise: The model, the data room, the diligence, and a straight read on terms
- You think from first principles about scaling a company in a new era: Usage-based revenue, real cost of goods, compute as both cost and leverage. The old SaaS playbook doesn't carry over, and you know why
- The fundraising CFO: Great in the data room, hazy on where last month's margin went
More about this role
You'll be Firecrawl's first CFO. Finance here isn't a reporting function that closes the books and forecasts what engineering already decided. It sits inside the product: our pricing is usage-based, our cost of goods moves with the web itself, and the gap between the two is the most important number in the company. You'll own that number and everything that feeds it.
We just closed a $75M Series B, launched our second product, Alexandria, and are hiring at a pace that will nearly double the team. Finance got us here running lean, the way a company our size should. The next stage needs a function built for it: accounting and controls, FP&A, tax and treasury, billing and revenue recognition, capital strategy, and the board relationship, built without slowing the company down.
You'll report to our CEO, sit with the founders on every decision that costs money or makes it, partner with our General Counsel and Chief of Staff on the company's operating spine, and own how we deploy the capital we just raised and help raise the round after it.
