Head of Finance
We’re a mission-driven company powered by individuals who are fired up about making egg freezing and third party reproduction more accessible. We’re proud to engage in meaningful work that will impact tons of people through the family-building process.
What We're Looking For
We are hiring a full-time Head of Finance to join our team as we scale, following our recent Series A fundraise. This role is ideal for someone with deep financial expertise, who brings both strategic thinking and strong technical skills to the table. Startup experience is a plus, particularly if you've helped scale an earlier-stage, venture-backed company through rapid growth. As Head of Finance, you will work closely with the CEO to drive strategic financial planning, oversee budgets and forecasting, support future fundraising, and implement systems and controls that grow with us. We’re looking for someone who is just as comfortable owning our financial model directly (we’re a lean team!) as they are leading high-level strategic conversations with investors and our Board of Directors.
