About the role

As Lassie's first finance hire, you'll build out the company's financial operations from the ground up. You'll work alongside CEO Steijn Pelle and Lassie advisor Jason Warnick (former CFO, Robinhood). You'll own the transition from founder-led finance to a world-class, AI-native function. This is a unique opportunity to build the systems that shape how Lassie grows and operates.

What they're looking for

  • You've built operating models, scenario plans, and unit economics from scratch in a startup environment, and you can defend your assumptions with board-level rigor
  • You're a hands-on operator: you've closed the books, managed vendors, and run payroll, not just managed people who do those things
  • You translate complex financial data into clear insights for a non-finance audience and are comfortable presenting to founders, board members, and investors
  • You have a track record of implementing finance systems and building processes from scratch. You know when the current tool is right-sized and when it's time to graduate, and you don't over-engineer
  • You've designed or built AI-native workflows for finance tasks, or have a strong instinct for where AI eliminates manual work without adding fragility
