About the role
Finance & Operations Associate to run core finance processes and help scale as we grow. This is a hands-on role where you'll learn the full breadth of finance operations at a fast-growing startup, with real space to redesign how repetitive work gets done with AI.
What you'll do
- Run the invoicing engine - manage accounts receivable and payable, issue invoices, track who to invoice and when, follow up on overdue payments, and keep the cash cycle clean.
- Support month-end close and recurring finance operations - accruals, journal entries, reconciliations, payroll, and regular touchpoints with our tax accountant to keep us compliant and audit-ready.
- Start automating across finance workflows - with team support and proper AI tooling, design and deploy AI agents that handle the repetitive work: invoice follow-ups, inbox triage, client request routing, Salesforce-driven invoicing triggers, close checklists.
- Keep our finance data trustworthy - work with Salesforce, Google Sheets, and Looker Studio to maintain the BI dashboards that already exist, and help build new ones as the team's needs grow.
- Work cross-functionally - collaborate with commercial, tech, and product stakeholders to plug finance into the systems that drive the business.
- Take on ad-hoc projects - investor reporting, cash flow modelling, pricing analysis, whatever the moment calls for.
What you'll need
- Very strong attention to detail and work through problems meticulously.
- Intrinsically motivated to build with AI - open to learning and exploring AI tools and excited to design agents that automate the repetitive parts.
- Comfortable with numbers, financial modelling, and core tools (Excel, Google Sheets). Prior experience with SQL and Salesforce is a big plus.
- Excellent analytical skills and can communicate complex financial information clearly - in fluent English (and comfortable with at least understanding some German).
- At least one prior role or internship in accounting, FP&A, controlling, or a similarly fast-paced environment (VC, startup, or equivalent), and a Bachelor's degree in a finance or quantitative discipline.
- Passionate about sustainability and climate action.
What they offer
- Work on a problem that actually matters - your work directly helps global companies measure and reduce their carbon impact at scale.
- Grow with us as the company scales - committed to coaching and developing everyone on the team.
- Modern office in the heart of Berlin with free coffee and beverages.
- Public transport ticket or mobility options via NAVIT.
- Regular team events, offsites, and a crew you'll actually want to hang out with.
