We’re looking for a Head of Finance to build and scale Station A’s financial foundation while serving as a key strategic partner to leadership. You’ll be joining as our first in-house finance hire , which means you’ll be hands-on from day one, owning financial operations yourself while also shaping the long-term vision for how the function grows. This role is ideal for someone who has done it before —a guide who can meet us where we are, bring proven judgment, and enable the company to scale with confidence. We need someone with agency, curiosity, and the ability to define a vision and align others around it , while helping us avoid common pitfalls and maximize our impact.

About the role

The Head of Finance is both a builder and a strategic thought partner, responsible for scaling Station A’s financial infrastructure while serving as a key advisor on capital allocation, pricing strategy, and sustainable growth. As our first in-house finance hire, you’ll be hands-on in building the function from the ground up : if you don’t do it, no one will.

You’ll generate forward-looking insights that guide company priorities and tradeoffs, partner with the CEO and Head of Operations on strategic planning, forecasting, and scenario modeling, and anticipate risks and opportunities across our business model, market, and cost structure. At the same time, you’ll have the ability to execute and ensure plans translate into results, building confidence that the company can deliver on its goals.

This is also a board-facing role that owns investor reporting and ensures leadership and external stakeholders have clear, accurate visibility into company performance. Beyond keeping the business on track, you’ll bring new ideas and apply a strategic lens to how we deploy capital, ensuring we make the right bets that accelerate growth and impact. This role is critical in preparing us for Series B and beyond, with the systems and financial narrative to support our next stage of scale.

Who we are

Station A is a technology company reimagining how clean energy is bought and sold. Our distributed team is made up of climate-minded technologists, strategists, and operators committed to making climate action a no-brainer for everyone.

We combine proprietary software with industry expertise to guide commercial real estate owners and operators through their decarbonization journey, starting with evaluation of their portfolios and culminating in transactions through our clean energy marketplace.

Compensation

Company stage : Series A (post fundraise)

Reports to : Head of Operations

Preferred Locations :  San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York (Remote OK)

We believe in pay transparency. The annual base salary for this role is  $170K - $190K , with performance-based annual bonus and meaningful equity . Learn more about our benefits here .

What you’ll do

As Head of Finance , you will :

  • Lead strategic finance and capital planning , including long-term modeling, scenario planning, and capital allocation to guide growth.
  • Drive forecasting and FP&A , building dynamic budgets with department leads and ensuring resources align with company priorities.
  • Translate financial data into actionable insights that inform product, sales, and hiring decisions and help leadership make confident tradeoffs.
  • Own all financial operations , including accounting, AR / AP, monthly close, revenue recognition, compliance, and relationships with external advisors.
  • Own board and investor communications , delivering clear, audit-ready reporting, investor updates, and fundraising materials.
  • Partner cross-functionally with GTM and Success on pricing strategy, margin analysis, and revenue recognition tied to project delivery.
  • Support compensation and equity planning , including commission structures that align incentives with company goals.
  • Build the foundation for the future finance team , building workflows and creating systems that prepare Station A for Series B and beyond.

Requirements

We’re looking for someone who has…

  • Built and scaled finance at an early-stage startup (Series A–B or beyond) ideally as the first in-house finance hire or early finance leader who established the function, systems, and operating cadence.
  • Gained perspective from operating at scale, with experience in a larger company or later-stage environment, while able to thrive in ambiguity and drive impact with minimal guidance.
  • Demonstrated strategic finance leadership with expertise in long-range planning, scenario modeling, and capital allocation tied directly to growth priorities.
  • Proven FP&A and financial modeling skills turning data into forward-looking insights that guide product, GTM, hiring, and market bets.
  • Board- and investor-facing experience preparing clear, investor-grade reporting, presentations, and updates.
  • Cross-functional driver partnering on pricing, margin analysis, revenue recognition tied to project delivery, and compensation / equity planning to support company goals.
  • Proven leadership capability with the ability to operate hands-on as a team of one today while also recruiting, growing, and inspiring a high-performing finance team over time.
  • Bonus points for…

  • Ownership of end-to-end financial operations, including accounting, monthly close, revenue recognition, AR / AP, financial systems, and compliance, while leveraging tools / automation and external partners to stay lean and audit-ready.
  • Fundraising diligence experience, including preparing materials and managing data rooms to ensure smooth investor interactions.
  • Familiarity with subscription / SaaS or marketplace business models, including unit economics and ASC 606 dynamics.
  • Industry experience in climate, clean energy , or adjacent infrastructure / software.
  • CPA, relevant certifications, or audit experience that strengthens financial rigor and audit readiness.
  • Location & Travel

  • Preferred : San Francisco, Los Angeles, or New York–based. Remote (U.S.-based) is also possible for the right candidate.
  • Anticipated travel : 1x / year for our all-company retreat; quarterly trips to San Francisco to meet with the leadership team and investors.
  • Benefits

    We’re committed to supporting a healthy, sustainable life outside of work :

  • Remote-friendly work environment  (U.S.-based) with coworking
  • Flexible PTO
  • Monthly remote work stipend ($50 / mo or $600 / yr)
  • Learning & development budget to support your professional growth
  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance  (including FSA and HSA options)
  • 401(k) plan , with matching on the roadmap
  • 12-15 paid holidays annually
  • Our Commitment

    We believe diverse perspectives fuel better ideas and stronger outcomes. If you are excited about this role—even if you don’t meet 100% of the qualifications—we encourage you to apply.

    Station A is an equal opportunity employer committed to building an inclusive, respectful workplace. Hiring decisions are based solely on qualifications, merit, and business needs.
