A modern prescription network. Backed by Flare Capital Partners.
About the role
Photon’s finance function is a blank spreadsheet, and we’re looking for the person who fills it in. This role covers everything: the model, the plan, the close, pricing and unit economics, fundraising, spend, and the systems that hold it all together. You’ll be the strategic partner the executive team leans on for decisions about pricing, growth, and capital — and the person who makes sure the books are clean. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- 7+ years of experience, with early-career training in investment banking, management consulting, or a similarly rigorous analytical environment
- 2+ years in a finance, strategic finance, or BizOps role at a venture-backed startup through a period of significant growth
- Ownership beyond FP&A — direct experience with at least two of: fundraising, pricing or unit economics, board reporting, cash and capital planning
- Hands-on experience owning or managing accounting operations: monthly close, audit or tax preparation, and outside accounting partners
- You build and maintain complex financial models yourself, and can explain them simply to a non-finance audience
- Clear, confident communicator — you can hold a point of view under pressure and explain the numbers to anyone at the company

We’re looking for someone who has done this before, or grew up in this kind of environment: a growing venture-backed company where finance meant covering everything, not owning one slice of it. You’ve gone well beyond FP&A — you’ve supported a fundraise, rebuilt pricing, run the close, or figured out what the business actually earns on each customer — and you want to own the whole picture.
Fair warning: this is a hands-on role. There’s no team underneath you (yet), so...
