An AI native financial institution. We're making financial services fast and affordable for all, starting with accounting. Backed by Y Combinator.

About the role

You’re Minerva’s first strategic finance hire. You have maximum exposure to the key business bottlenecks that the executive team grapples with on a day to day basis. Ideally you’re able to identify and take the first pass on solving many of these problems. You sit within the operations org and work with the CEO, Chief-of-Staff, VP of Ops and broader leadership team to prioritize analyses. You prepare models that help guide capital allocation and real resource allocation. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • Extreme agency, candor and rigor
  • 4-7+ years of experience in strategic finance, investment banking, private equity, growth equity, or a similar high-rigor analytical role
  • Corporate development exposure is a plus but is not required
  • Strong financial modeling skills and the ability to build complex operating models from scratch, including experience with unit economics and cost structure analysis
  • Comfort with ambiguity and a bias toward ownership
  • Willingness to match or outpace the hours and intensity of the leadership team
