About the role

Avante is hiring its first in-house Head of Finance & Operations.
This is the senior-most finance role in the company, reporting directly to the CEO, with a seat on the leadership team.

Own the model, planning, and the numbers.
Own forecasting and planning, build FP&A, accounting, and financial systems, and give the leadership team and Board a clear, current read on the business at all times.
Steward capital and own board and investor relations. Act as a steward of capital, tell the ongoing financial and strategic story, engage investor networks, and represent the finance voice at board meetings.
Stand up systems and controls. Put the right systems, oversight, and controls in place to support the next phase of our growth, without slowing the business down.
Work in sync with the CEO and CoS on operational rigor: Bring an independent point of view and lead transformative, cross-functional bets in capital deployment, resourcing, product pricing and how we constitute and run the team.
Build and lead the team. Decide what we hold in-house versus with external partners and contractors, and when, fractionally and full-time. Sequence the hires and develop the people who run finance and operations day to day.

8+ years operating across functions: FP&A, FinOps, revenue or business operations, investing or diligence, or operating roles in high-growth B2B software.
Experience with fundraising and investor/board relations.

Experience managing finance-adjacent functions such as people operations, business operations, and legal.
Experience moving a finance or operations function from fractional or outsourced to fully in-house.
Experience carrying a company from Series A into its growth stage.
Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, or related field required
MBA or CPA preferred.
Our four values aren't aspirational.
They translate into concrete operating tenets that shape how we make decisions every day.
We act on 70% of the information rather than waiting for certainty, then adjust.
