VP of Finance

Vice President of Finance

Finance is one of the few functions that touches every meaningful decision a company makes.

Hiring. Product investment. Pricing. Expansion. Fundraising. Cash management. Every one of them ultimately becomes a finance decision.

As Vice President of Finance, you'll build the financial operating system that helps guide Loop through its next stage of growth. This isn't about reporting what happened last month. It's about helping determine what happens over the next three years.

You'll work directly alongside the founders, shaping company strategy through financial insight, commercial thinking and disciplined execution. You'll build the operating model, own the planning cadence, prepare the board materials, support investor conversations and ensure every major decision is grounded in robust financial analysis.

This is a builder's role.

You won't inherit a large finance organisation. You'll build the operating model yourself. You'll create the first board packs yourself. You'll own the forecasting process yourself. You'll establish the systems, discipline and financial infrastructure that will support the business as it scales.

The right person enjoys moving effortlessly between strategy and execution—comfortable presenting to investors in the morning, building a three-statement model after lunch, and partnering with Product, Sales or Engineering before the day ends.

If you're looking to hide behind spreadsheets, this isn't the role.

If you want to become one of the key people helping build an iconic AI company from the inside, we'd love to speak with you.

Build Loop's Financial Operating System

Who You Are

You are most likely a strong candidate for this role if you:

• Have 10+ years of finance experience within high-growth venture-backed technology companies.
• Have helped build finance inside a Series A, B or C business rather than simply operating inside a mature organisation.
• Have personally built forecasting models, board packs and financial plans—not simply reviewed work prepared by large teams.
• Have supported fundraising, investor diligence or venture capital reporting.
• Have significant experience with FP&A, financial modelling, forecasting, budgeting and cash flow management.
• Think commercially before you think technically. You understand that finance exists to help the business make better decisions.
• Have worked directly with founders or executive leadership where finance was part of every major strategic discussion.
• Can explain complex financial concepts simply and influence leaders who don't come from finance backgrounds.
• Enjoy solving ambiguous problems where there isn't a textbook answer.
• Thrive operating with high ownership and minimal bureaucracy.
• Demonstrate Loop's cultural defaults: radical ownership, customer obsession, intellectual honesty, urgency, curiosity and the discipline to execute.

Preferred Spikes

Having one or more of the following makes you a preferred candidate, in addition to the above:

• You've helped scale a venture-backed business through multiple funding rounds.
• You've built board reporting that investors genuinely looked forward to reading because it explained the business—not just the numbers.
• You've partnered directly with CEOs or founders on company strategy, capital allocation and long-term planning.
• You've built finance functions from the ground up, selecting systems, establishing reporting rhythms and creating scalable processes.
• You understand SaaS, AI or enterprise software economics, including ARR, gross margin, retention, customer acquisition economics and unit economics.
• You've implemented ERP or FP&A platforms such as NetSuite, Pigment, Mosaic, Anaplan or similar.
• You hold a CPA, ACA, ACCA, CFA or MBA, although outstanding operating experience matters more than credentials.
