About the role
- In this role, you will own the financial engine of Sola as our first Head of Finance, from the operating model and monthly close to board materials and fundraising workstreams.
- You will work closely with the CEO and leadership team to turn the business's growth into a clear, reliable financial picture, and build the insurance-specific finance function, including premium and claims accounting, that a company like ours needs to scale.
- This role has meaningful ownership over how Sola manages, reports, and plans around its finances, and will help shape how the finance function evolves as we grow.
Responsibilities

- Prepare board materials and investor updates, and lead financial workstreams for future fundraising (modeling, data room, diligence)
- Hire and develop the finance team as the company grows

- This is the founder's life's work; we're building for decades

Company info
- Hi, I'm Brayden, Founder at Sola.
- Millions of homeowners can no longer get affordable home insurance, and the process is often confusing, slow, and frustrating.
- We invented a first-of-its-kind weather data-driven wind and hail policy that reduces fraud and enables more people to get covered at a price that actually makes sense.
- We are already live, growing fast, and partnering with thousands of agencies.
- Now we need a financial foundation built to scale with the opportunity.
