VP of Finance

This is the most senior finance position in the company, and it sits at the intersection of finance, strategy, and company building. You’ll become one of the CEO’s closest business partners, helping shape nearly every major capital, operating, and strategic decision the company makes.

You'll own the financial infrastructure that keeps the business healthy—accounting, cash, controls, and reporting across every entity—while helping lead the acquisitions, capital allocation, and financial strategy behind the next chapter of Grit.
