Finance

About the role

This is the first dedicated finance hire at Coval. You'll own the financial foundation of a company that's scaling very fast, past the point where the founding team can run it on spreadsheets.

Responsibilities

• Financial planning and modeling. Cost modeling, business case modeling, headcount planning, runway projections. You'll build the financial picture that informs every major decision the company makes.
• Accounting and compliance. Managing our books, filing taxes correctly, coordinating with external accountants and auditors. The boring stuff that has to be airtight.
• Fundraising support. Building data rooms, preparing financials for investors, supporting due diligence. We're growing fast and the fundraising cycle doesn't stop.
• Pricing and packaging. Working closely with sales and product to figure out how we price, package, and monetize. You'll model the economics and help us get the strategy right.

Requirements

You've done finance at a high-growth startup and you know what it looks like when a company hits the Series A inflection point.

You can build a financial model from scratch and you actually enjoy it.

You're comfortable with ambiguity. The priorities will shift fast, and you'll need to shift with them.

You want to be close to the product and the customers, not siloed in a back office. You'll sit with engineers and salespeople, and you'll understand what they're building and selling.

You have good judgment about where to be precise (financials, compliance) and where to move fast (pricing experiments, forecasting assumptions).

You're excited about AI and want to use it daily. We don't do repetitive work here — we automate it.

Qualifications

You have 1+ years of experience in finance at a high-growth startup.

You have experience building financial models from scratch.

You have experience working in ambiguity and shifting priorities.

You have experience sitting with engineers and salespeople to understand their work.

You have experience making decisions about precision and speed in financial modeling.

You have experience using AI in your work.

Skills

You have strong analytical skills.

You have excellent communication skills.

You have experience working in a fast-paced environment.

Benefits

We work in-person in SoMa, San Francisco. The office is shoes-off, full of plants, and dog-friendly. We bike, hike, skate, and run half-marathons together.

The team comes from Waymo, Zoox, Apple, and Google. We're hard on our work but never hard on each other. We ship on Sundays because we want to, not because someone told us to. We move at AI speed: what used to take weeks happens in hours.

Our operating principle is "wholesome and unhinged." We are relentless about making things happen, but we don't take ourselves too seriously.
