Job description

Join to apply for the Head of Finance role at Distyl

We are a mission‑driven AI startup partnering with the Global Fortune 1000 to automate enterprise operations at scale. Backed by top venture capital, we operate like a special ops team : fast, outcome‑driven, and focused on solving high‑stakes enterprise challenges.

About the Role

We’re hiring a Head of Finance to build and scale the finance function from the ground up. This is a strategic, hands‑on role where you set up systems, processes, and models while serving as a key thought partner to the CEO and leadership team.

What You’ll Do

  • Build and lead Distyl’s finance function, including FP&A, accounting, and reporting from the ground up.
  • Partner closely with the COO and leadership team across Operations, Growth, and Engineering to inform key business decisions.
  • Develop financial models, forecasts, and frameworks to guide hiring, pricing, and investment decisions.
  • Create scalable processes for budget discipline, expense management, and financial accountability.
  • Lead and manage fundraising preparation, owning investor materials, scenario modeling, and due diligence readiness.
  • Design and manage monthly and quarterly close processes in partnership with external accounting firms.
  • Deliver clear, actionable financial reporting and insights for executives, the board, and investors.
  • Oversee treasury, cash management, and capital allocation to ensure financial sustainability and strategic growth.
  • Build, coach, and develop a small finance team as the company scales.

Who You Are

  • 10–15 years of progressive experience in finance, ideally across FP&A, strategic finance, and accounting.
  • Experience in high‑growth technology or AI companies, with time spent leading or building finance functions.
  • Background in investment banking, consulting, private equity, or corporate FP&A.
  • Strong analytical and modeling skills, able to translate complex data into clear insights and strategic actions.
  • Excellent communicator with the ability to influence executive and board‑level discussions.
  • Hands‑on, pragmatic operator who builds for scale but isn’t afraid to dive into the details.
  • Experience leading and growing small, high‑performing teams.
  • Prior fundraising, investor reporting, or M&A experience preferred.
  • What We Offer

  • Competitive salary and benefits package, including equity options and healthcare.
  • The opportunity to work at a mission‑driven AI startup transforming how Fortune 500 companies operate.
  • A fast‑paced, dynamic work environment where your contributions will directly impact the company’s success.
  • A collaborative culture that values professional growth and encourages taking on new responsibilities.
  • Note : Distyl is a hybrid working environment and requires in‑office collaboration 3 days a week. We have offices in San Francisco, CA and New York, NY, and this role is available in the San Francisco office.
