About the role
At Shaper Capital, we're on a mission to partner with incredible people to build companies that shape the world. We're the company-building engine of Travis May, who co-founded and led the two largest data exits of the last 20 years: LiveRamp (NYSE: RAMP, $200M+ revenue) and Datavant ($7B merger with Ciox). Now he's applying that playbook to solve data fragmentation across every major industry, from healthcare to national security to supply chain to AI. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- You have 8+ years of progressive finance experience, including time as the senior finance leader (CFO, VP Finance, or Head of Finance) at a venture-backed startup, ideally taking it from early stage through a priced round or beyond
- Your background includes investment banking, FP&A, private equity, venture capital, or Big 4 accounting, and you're as comfortable in the details as you are in the boardroom
- Modeling, forecasting, accounting, revenue recognition, and SaaS metrics are second nature. When something you send has your name on it, it's right, every time
- You've set up finance functions from scratch, choosing the systems, designing the processes, and making the first hires, and you know how to build something that scales without over-engineering it
- You turn financial insight into strategy, guide fundraising and board conversations, and quickly earn the trust of CEOs who are building something for the first time
- You'll build the model at 10pm and present it to the board the next morning. No task is too small, and no decision is outside your scope

Since October 2023, Shaper has launched 8 companies and raised 100M+ from top firms like a16z, CRV, and Footwork. One portfolio company went from incorporation to a $10M raise in 6 weeks (Arbital Health). Another grew 20x in a single year and closed an 8-figure deal in its first year (Protege). Most recently, our co-founded company, Fractional AI, was acquired to anchor a massive new AI venture backed by Anthropic, Blackstone, and Hellman Friedman to deploy Claude at scale.
By joining Shaper today, you'll be part of a small, ambitious team driven by the belief that the world's greatest problems have yet to be solved and the most transformative companies have yet to be built. We empower our portfolio companies to create businesses...
