TL;DR – Why You Might Want This

• You’ll own the entire finance and accounting function of a fast-scaling, venture-backed company.
• You’ll build and maintain the financial models that drive fundraising, investor relations, and strategic decisions.
• You’ll navigate multi-entity complexity across AT, DE, UK, and beyond — including transfer pricing.
• You’ll work directly with founders and leadership on cash flow strategy, bank relationships, and procurement.
• If you’re looking for a large-corporate finance role with narrow scope, this is not it.

Your Responsibilities

• Own the finance and accounting function end-to-end — from bookkeeping oversight to strategic financial planning.
• Build, maintain, and continuously improve financial models, business plans, and investor reporting.
• Manage multi-entity accounting across jurisdictions (AT, DE, UK, and others), including intercompany transactions and transfer pricing compliance.

• Liaise with banks and financial institutions for financing, credit lines, and leasing options.
• Lead investor relations activities: preparation of board materials, fundraising support, and ongoing investor communication.
• Coordinate with external tax advisors, auditors, and legal counsel across jurisdictions.
• Drive procurement processes, with a particular focus on medical device sourcing and vendor negotiations.
• Establish and refine internal financial controls, reporting cadences, and approval workflows.
