About Emhance Emhance builds emotion AI for mobile game studios. The platform analyzes hundreds of facial signals captured through a player's device camera during gameplay to surface moments of frustration, concentration, and delight, then maps those emotional responses to specific in-game events — revealing why players actually quit in ways that traditional playtesting and surveys can't. Emhance's customers, including game designers, user researchers, marketers, and studio executives, have used these insights to meaningfully improve player retention, ad revenue, and conversion. Emhance works with player-obsessed studios who want to understand their players scientifically, not just anecdotally.

About the role

Emhance is hiring its first Director of Finance to build and own the company's financial function from the ground up. This is a hands-on, high-ownership role: you'll run the day-to-day financial operations of the company — bookkeeping, payroll coordination, accounts payable/receivable, and cash management — while also establishing the systems, tools, and processes that let the company scale as it grows. You'll report directly to company leadership and have full visibility into, and responsibility for, the financial health of the business. This role suits someone who wants deep ownership over a company's finance function without layers of existing process to navigate — because you're the one building it.

Responsibilities

• Own day-to-day bookkeeping and the monthly close process, ensuring accurate, timely, and audit-ready financial records
• Manage accounts payable and receivable, including vendor payments and customer invoicing
• Coordinate payroll processing and ensure compliance with applicable employment tax and reporting requirements
• Track cash flow and burn rate, giving leadership a clear, current view of runway at all times
• Stand up financial systems and tools appropriate for an early-stage company (accounting software, expense management, basic FP&A infrastructure)
• Prepare monthly and quarterly financial reporting for company leadership and, as needed, the board
• Coordinate with external accountants, tax preparers, and other outside financial support as needed
• Support ad hoc financial
