As VP of Finance, you will lead OpenArt's finance organization through its next stage of growth, reporting directly to the CEO and serving as a member of the leadership team. You will own financial strategy, FP&A, accounting, tax, treasury, financial operations, and board and investor reporting.
Key responsibilities include:
- Translating company strategy into financial plans, operating priorities, and capital-allocation decisions

- Ensuring accurate financial reporting, dependable close, strong controls, audit readiness, tax compliance, and scalable financial processes

- Partnering with Product, Growth, Engineering, and Operations to improve pricing, unit economics, gross margin, and resource allocation
- Delivering clear, decision-oriented board and investor reporting
- Implementing systems, data, controls, and automation to support rapid growth
- Supporting financial evaluation and execution of partnerships, investments, acquisitions, or strategic transactions
- Building and developing a high-performing finance organization across FP&A, accounting, tax, and related functions
- Serving as a trusted strategic partner to the CEO and leadership team

The ideal candidate combines investment banking experience in TMT/SaaS with meaningful operating-finance leadership at a high-growth technology company.
REQUIREMENTS:

- Operating-finance leadership experience at a high-growth, venture-backed technology company, ideally during Series B through IPO stages
- Experience supporting or leading late-stage equity financing, debt financing, investor diligence, or capital-raising processes
- Strong command of accounting, financial reporting, audit requirements, tax, controls, and financial operations
- Deep experience with budgeting, forecasting, operating models, scenario analysis, and long-range planning
- Strong understanding of consumer subscription metrics, unit economics, cash management, and capital allocation
- Ability to understand the business deeply and translate product, growth, pricing, and cost dynamics into financial strategy
- Experience communicating with boards, investors, auditors, bankers, and executive teams
- Strong leadership, executive presence, and interpersonal skills
- AI-native approach to analysis, automation, reporting, and team productivity
Nice to have: IPO or M&A execution experience; buy-side experience in private equity, growth equity, venture capital, or corporate development combined with sell-side banking foundation; experience with consumer subscription, product-led growth, international, or AI-native businesses.
