Director of Finance (North America, Remote)

We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. The posting includes: About VictoriaMetrics (company description) – not a section heading we need? The instructions: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to map content to these headings. The posting includes "About The Opportunity" which is about the role. So we can put that under

About the role

. Then "About You" includes Professional Background, Mindset & Values – that could be Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide which content goes where. The posting lists: Professional Background Experience: 7+ years in finance leadership, ideally within B2B SaaS, open-source, or high-growth tech environments. Technical Expertise: Deep knowledge of US GAAP and experience building financial reporting systems from the ground up. Data-Driven: Proven track record in FP&A, cash forecasting, and using data to improve financial performance. Scaleup DNA: You thrive in remote-first, globally distributed environments and are happy to adopt new ways of working. Tools: Ideal candidate has experience with software like QuickBooks, Carta, HubSpot, and other financial, tax, and sales/marketing tools. Mindset & Values: Transparency, Startup Mindset, Collaborative Leader. Thus we can put Requirements: maybe the experience and technical expertise. Qualifications: maybe the tools and scaleup DNA. Skills: maybe the mindset & values? But we need to avoid filler. We'll create sections only if we have substantive content. Responsibilities: The posting has "Your Key Responsibilities" with subpoints: Accounting & Controls (Full-Cycle Oversight, Compliance, Audit Readiness, Internal Controls), Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) (Forecasting & Budgeting, Performance Metrics, Business Partnering), Cash Flow & Treasury (Liquidity Management), Tax compliance (Global Tax Strategy, International Tax Planning and Compliance), Sales & Marketing Financial Partnership (Commercial Finance Partnership). Also "Together we will" bullet list: Mature and professionalize the finance organization..., Drive financial visibility..., Build scalable systems... That seems like responsibilities as well. Thus we can put Responsibilities section with a

• list covering those. Benefits, Pay, Schedule: Not mentioned. So we should NOT include those sections. Thus output HTML with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills (maybe). But we need to decide if we have content for each. We have content for Requirements (experience, technical expertise, data-driven, scaleup DNA, tools). Could split into Requirements and Qualifications and Skills but we risk thin sections. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe combine into one "Requirements" section covering all. Or we could have Requirements and Qualifications combined? But we need to follow headings list; we can omit sections we don't have distinct content for. So we could have only About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements. That satisfies. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all points from the posting. We need to format as HTML fragment: use

  for headings,

  for prose,

  • for lists. We need to include company description? The posting includes "About VictoriaMetrics" and "About The Opportunity". The "About VictoriaMetrics" is company overview; maybe we can include that as part of About the role? Or we could add a separate section like "About the company" but not in allowed headings. The instruction says use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings? It says use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Likely they expect only those headings. So we should incorporate company description into About the role paragraph. Thus About the role section will contain both company overview and opportunity description. We need to preserve all substantive information: include details about VictoriaMetrics, its products, usage, downloads, etc. Also include the opportunity description. Thus About the role

    . We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to ensure we don't miss any details: Let's extract all substantive info.

Interview Process: - Introductory video call - Interview with hiring manager - 2 x Interview with Founders - Reference check - Offer: Embark on your journey with VictoriaMetrics We need to remove application instructions? The instruction says remove application instructions. The Interview Process might be considered application instructions? It's part of the hiring process; maybe we should keep? The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." Interview Process could be considered application instructions. Safer to remove it. So we will not include Interview Process. Thus we keep all other content. Now format. We need to ensure we don't repeat content. We'll combine About VictoriaMetrics and About The Opportunity into About the role paragraph. Paragraph: "We are the company behind the popular open-source, high-performance time-series database and monitoring solution, VictoriaMetrics; as well as the open source logs database, VictoriaLogs, and our open source traces database, VictoriaTraces. Together, they form the VictoriaMetrics Observability Stack. We are a fast-growing scaleup making our mark on the observability landscape with solutions that are simple, reliable and efficient.

You will be responsible for building the financial operational foundation that supports our global growth, ensuring that transparency and a startup mindset remain at the heart of our financial operations." Now Responsibilities: list each bullet. We need to decide grouping: maybe keep subheadings? But we only allowed

    for section headings, not subheadings. So we can just list each responsibility as

    items, possibly with colon. We'll include all bullet points. Responsibilities list: - Lead full-cycle accounting in close collaboration with the Europe-based Accounting Manager. - Ensure all financial reporting aligns with US GAAP standards. - Own the preparation and successful execution of the company’s first external financial audit. - Build and improve financial controls, processes, and documentation to support a scalable and audit-ready finance function. - Build and maintain monthly, quarterly, and annual financial models, forecasts, and budgets. - Define and track key SaaS metrics (KPIs), translating complex data into actionable recommendations for the leadership team. - Provide strategic insights to support product growth and regional expansion. - Monitor and manage working capital and global cash flow. - Partner with external CPA firms to manage all filings and compliance across multiple jurisdictions. - Collaborate with the President on international tax matters and optimization. - Partner with Sales and Marketing to evaluate the financial logic, efficiency, and expected returns of commercial initiatives, budgets, and spending decisions. - Mature and professionalize the finance organization into a true business partner. - Drive financial visibility, transparency, and accountability across all teams. - Build scalable systems, processes, and reporting that support our next phase of growth. Now Requirements: list experience, technical expertise, data-driven, scaleup DNA, tools, mindset & values? Actually mindset & values could be considered Skills or Requirements. We'll include all as requirements. List: - 7+ years in finance leadership, ideally within B2B Sa
