Here’s a collection of articles about our product, mission, recent funding round, etc.
We're currently hiring a Head of Finance to be the senior financial mind inside the company — reporting to the Head of Operations and working directly with the CEO and board. This is a rare kind of seat: outsized ownership over a company's financial trajectory at a genuine inflection point, with a clear path to grow into more responsibility as the company scales.
THE OPPORTUNITY
- Own the financial narrative. Today, critical financial modeling and reporting are being pieced together ad hoc by leaders who have other full-time jobs to do. You'll build the frameworks and models that make sense of a business scaling this fast, and turn it into a story the board and investors can trust.
- Be the person who goes deeper than anyone else. Leadership needs someone who won't settle for a topline number — who will dig into what's actually driving spend, growth, or risk, and surface the real answer before it becomes a problem or lost opportunity.
- Sit at the center of capital strategy. As the company prepares for its next raise, you'll work directly with the CEO, leadership and board to shape how Layer's financial story gets told — and get real exposure to what a raise looks like from the inside.
- Grow into more. This is an early, high-trust seat on a small team. As you prove yourself, there's a real path to taking on more scope and seniority as the company scales toward and past its Series B.
YOUR BACKGROUND
- 5+ years start up, investment banking, private equity, venture capital, or corporate finance.
- Willing and able to work with the key financial and operational systems needed to run a high-performing finance and accounting function.
- You work well across the organization — partnering with Sales, Legal, Operations, and Tech leadership to manage contracts, negotiate vendors, and keep the business running efficiently.
- Highly detail-oriented — you don't just trust the model, you understand what's underneath it.
- A sharp, confident communicator who can hold their own in a room with experienced investors.
- Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, or a related field.
- Direct exposure to a fundraising, M&A, or due diligence process is a plus.
