This 12+ month opportunity is perfect for someone looking to make an outsized impact in a high-growth, purpose-led environment — one where a year's work can feel like five (in all the best ways).

You'll be joining a tight-knit leadership team on a bold journey to commercialise and scale one of NZ's most exciting hardware / software products globally.

Lead budgeting processes across teams, embedding discipline and accountability.

Partner with Ops and Sales to forecast cash flows and manage working capital (e.g., through S&OP leadership).

Oversee accounting, payroll, tax, and financial compliance — ensuring accuracy, timeliness, and alignment with NZ and global requirements.

Drive the evolution of finance systems and processes (especially AI-enhanced workflows) for scale and efficiency.

Own internal KPI and BI reporting.

Maintain and evolve the company's financial model

Partner with leadership to model, plan, and guide long-term strategy.

Support fundraising efforts by preparing financial data, projections, and investor materials.

Collaborate with investors and potential backers to facilitate due diligence and secure funding

Clear, candid and concise communication skills - both written and verbal, but also an ability to be kind and compassionate when dealing with others

So if you think you have what it takes, but are not sure you check every box, we still want to hear from you

Unlimited annual leave so that you can take the time that you need to re-energise
