Join to apply for the Head of Finance role at Upbound

Upbound is redefining how modern infrastructure is built. As the creators of Crossplane and the pioneers of the Intelligent Control Plane, we are leading the shift toward agentic infrastructure : platforms that reason, adapt, and operate alongside AI-native systems.

As Upbound enters its next stage of growth, we are seeking a Head of Finance, Accounting, and Business Operations to guide the company through its next chapter of growth. This is a pivotal leadership role responsible for leading financial strategy, ensuring operational excellence, and providing business insights that shape the company’s trajectory. You will work directly with the CEO, Board of Directors, and senior leadership team to manage the company’s financial health, oversee core business operations, and scale the infrastructure needed for global growth. The ideal candidate blends strategic leadership with hands-on operational expertise, and thrives in high-growth, venture-backed environments.

What Youll Do

  • Strategic Leadership & Investor Relations : Partner with the CEO and Board of Directors to provide clear, data-driven insights into company performance, risks, and opportunities.
  • Lead financial planning and reporting for board meetings, fundraising processes, and investor updates.
  • Contribute to long-term strategic planning and resource allocation decisions.

Financial Strategy & FP&A

  • Build and scale the FP&A function to deliver robust forecasts, budgets, and scenario modeling.
  • Design and operationalize financial models that support consumption-based and hybrid pricing structures.
  • Develop and maintain automated dashboards and BI systems to connect operational metrics to financial outcomes.
  • Partner with Product and GTM leadership to model usage, margins, and unit economics in real time.
  • Implement modern FP&A and finance systems (e.g., Mosaic / HiBob, Cube, Pigment, or Anaplan) to improve accuracy and speed of reporting.
  • Provide actionable insights that inform executive and board-level decision-making.
  • Accounting & Compliance

  • Oversee global accounting operations, including ledgers, AR / AP, payroll, and cash management.
  • Ensure compliance with US GAAP and international accounting standards.
  • Lead external audits, tax preparation, and regulatory filings across multiple jurisdictions.
  • Business Operations & Systems

  • Design and implement scalable processes, systems, and controls across finance and operations.
  • Partner with Sales, People, and other teams to operationalize revenue recognition (ASC 606), commissions, and compensation programs.
  • Drive cross-functional initiatives to improve efficiency, automation, and decision-making.
  • Build a unified data layer and reporting infrastructure to enable faster, better decision-making across teams.
  • Own company-wide OKR cadence, resource planning, and annual operating plan execution.
  • Act as the connective tissue between functions — ensuring strategic goals translate into aligned budgets, systems, and measurable outcomes.
  • What Youll Bring

  • 8+ years of progressive finance and operations experience, with 3+ years in senior leadership roles.
  • 4 years of experience in enterprise software, cloud, or infrastructure companies.
  • Proven track record scaling finance, accounting, and business operations functions through Series C or later in venture-backed startups.
  • Experience building financial models and systems for usage- or consumption-based SaaS businesses.
  • Strong understanding of how to apply AI in a finance and operations context, including tools for forecasting, automation, analysis, and decision support.
  • Strong foundation in US GAAP and compliance; Big 4 public accounting background highly valued.
  • Demonstrated success leading board and investor communications.
  • Advanced technical and analytical skills (Excel, BI tools, SaaS financial systems).
  • Experience implementing or optimizing modern FP&A systems (e.g., Anaplan, Pigment, Mosaic, Cube).
  • Excellent organizational, written, and verbal communication skills.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, or Economics; MBA, CPA, or CFA strongly preferred.
  • A Plus If You

  • Experience in remote or distributed-first organizations.
  • Familiarity with open source, developer tooling, or cloud-native ecosystems.
  • Why Upbound?

    At Upbound, you’ll help shape the systems and strategies that drive predictable, scalable growth in a product-led company embracing usage-based models. If you0;re excited to build from the ground up, work with cutting-edge cloud technologies, and directly impact how revenue is generated and scaled—this is your seat at the table.
