About the Role:

Are you looking to join a company that sits at the intersection of real estate investing, interior designing, luxury experiences and new product innovation? 

Industrious is the fastest growing flex-office and workplace experience platform with the goal of scaling to $1bn+ of revenue in the next 3-years. The company is backed by a top-tier parent company (CBRE, which is the largest commercial real estate service provider with a market cap of $40bn), powered by an ambitious team, and entering a new phase of growth. We’re looking for a strategic, forward-thinking Vice President of Finance to help lead us there. 

This is more than an average finance role. As VP of Finance & Corporate Development, you’ll be a key partner in helping shape the company’s long-term vision, assess and navigate risk, deploy its growth capital (including M&A), and unlock new opportunities for growth.

• Combine finance with physical design: This role will be responsible for the interplay of space design, new membership products and real estate underwriting.

Once we have the customers in our spaces, how do we manage revenue and price effectively to maximize lifetime value? We have the design, product and construction teams. We’re looking for the business advisor
• Steward resources: Own budgeting, forecasting, capital planning and KPI development for the company to ensure we achieve operational goals while maximizing value. Please note that this role will not include accounting or controllership responsibilities. 
• Champion people management and build trust: In this role, you’re directly leading a small FP&A department and providing leadership across many cross-functional teams. Your responsibility is to foster a culture of collaboration, high performance, and accountability across departments and within the finance team. This is a tight-knit team so it’s crucial to engender deep trust and create space for mentorship. 
• Player-coach:  The FP&A department at Industrious is composed of a (i) Strategic Finance team and (ii) Revenue Management team. This is a small, tip-of-the-spear team that is responsible for driving company-wide initiatives. You will be a player-coach that is personally responsible for meaningful projects
