We're a fast-growing, VC-backed travel tech startup backed by Runa Capital, Seedcamp, and Exor Ventures. We're building a product-led, automation-first travel platform designed to scale with leverage, not headcount.
We're looking for a high-impact, finance-minded builder (the kind that jumps on any problem to solve) to own, design, and build the financial, payments, and treasury systems that make the company work as we scale.
This is a builder role. You'll design our finance and payments infrastructure from scratch, not inherit it, and help shape the financial operating system of the company as it grows. You'll work closely with leadership, operate across finance, product, and operations, and report directly to the COO, with scope and responsibility closer to a mini-CFO role than a traditional finance position.
What you'll do Build the financial backbone from scratch across payments acceptance, supplier payments, treasury, cash flow, and reconciliation.
Own payments strategy end-to-end: decide which providers to route across settlement terms, reserves,
and authorization rates; maximize card rebates on supplier spend; and stand up new rails (bank transfer, airline/GDS settlement) built to run at scale, not by hand.
Be a forward-deployed extension of the product team: use the product daily, live the real payment and operational edge cases, spot friction across finance flows, and translate it into clear product and process improvements.
Bring treasury and cash-flow rigor to a business moving ~$10M a month across US and EU entities: working capital, cash forecasting, cross-border structure and more.
Automate the backoffice: extend active-cycle reconciliation, build passive-cycle automation, and improve handoffs between operations, finance, and product.
Stand up the right finance stack and ERP, modular by design, so we never get trapped in a multi-year migration.
