Ashby Looking for VP Finance & Operations at San Francisco, CA Full Time

👋 Hi, I’m Benji, Co-Founder and CEO of Ashby. I’m hiring a VP Finance & Operations. In this role you will become a key member of the Ashby leadership team. You will own all of Finance at Ashby and work closely with other functional leaders on planning and operations.

As we’re quickly growing our business, this role is critical to ensure that we scale efficiently and with excellent operations in place.

Your initial responsibilities will include

• Overseeing all of our FP&A processes
• Supporting me in leading our planning process, goal setting, etc.
• Ensuring excellent execution on the “nuts & bolts” of finance and operations (accounting, tax filings, AR/AP, etc.)
• You will have a small team to support you, but we expect you to be in the details
• Working closely with other functional leaders and helping us “see around corners” and challenge assumptions in our plans
• Occasionally leading special projects (such as our current pricing work)

Depending on your profile and the needs of the business your scope may expand over time to own other functions, such as Revenue Operations.

You could be great fit if

• 📊 You have excellent analytical skills
• 💡 You think from first principles to come up with creative solutions
• 🤝 You have a successful track record as a people manager
• 🔍 You are very organized, reliable and detail oriented
• ⚙️ You don’t shy away from “boring” operational work
• 💼 You have strong general business acumen
• ✅ You align with our operating principles and team attributes
• 👀 You have seen what world-class finance function at a later stage company looks like

I will be sharing more details as we progress through the interview loop; but here is our process at a high level:

• Initial Screen – 30 Minutes – Benji (Co-Founder & CEO)
• Past Experience Deep Dive – 45 Minutes – Benji (Co-Founder & CEO)

Benefits

• You’ll get the time to do things the right way; we put a lot of emphasis on high quality work and avoid quick hacks as much as possible.
• 10-year exercise window for stock options. You shouldn’t feel pressure to purchase stock options if you leave Ashby —do it when you feel financially comfortable.
• Unlimited PTO with four weeks is recommended per year. Expect “Vacation?” in our one-on-one agenda until you start taking it 😅
• Twelve weeks of fully paid family leave in the US. We plan to expand this to employees in other countries as situations arise.
