## About the role

We're looking for a CFO who has been here before — someone who has managed complex lending facilities, built relationships with debt capital providers, and guided a company through a significant exit. This isn't a role for someone looking to learn what a credit facility is or experience their first M&A process. We need a seasoned operator who can hit the ground running, earn the trust of our board and investors quickly, and build the financial infrastructure to support the next chapter of Scratch's growth.

## What they're looking for

- Direct, hands-on experience managing lending facilities and debt capital relationships — you've negotiated term sheets, managed covenants, and worked through facility amendments, you can speak to the details
- Experience leading or co-leading a $100M+ exit process (M&A, acquisition, or recapitalization), with $200M+ strongly preferred — you know what diligence feels like from the inside and have the scars to prove it
- Track record of building or materially improving financial infrastructure at a growth-stage company
- Strong communicator who can translate complex financial concepts for board members, debt investors, and internal non-finance stakeholders alike
- Experience managing a finance team, with a demonstrated ability to develop people and hold a high bar for output
- Background in consumer lending, fintech, or marketplace lending
