  • High-growth Series A–C companies
• Having a self-starter or entrepreneurial background

💖 Why you should join Snout

• Ability to have a meaningful impact from Day 1, where your voice and opinion matters
• Build and scale a team from scratch, take the function from 0 to 1
• Get involved in strategy beyond finance - this is an operational role, the finance function will touch operations, engineering/product development and more
• We’re a well capitalized business with a clear path to profitability
• Unlimited potential to grow in your career, learn and expand your skillsets
• Collaborative, flexible, and friendly culture oriented around a growth mindset

❌ Why this role might not be a fit for you

• You need structure - this is a highly strategic role on a small fast moving team, we are building structure as we go but transparently, it’s not fully there at the moment
• You’ve never worked on a small team before — you will be responsible for an entire function and you will be the first in the role, you’ll have to build the team yourself
• You haven’t worked in excel for a while, we are an early stage company and all our executives still do hands on work
• You don’t have superior attention to detail
• You hate travel, while the role is remote, we value face to face interaction as much as possible and our leadership team meets quarterly in person

💸 Compensation

• $180 000 - $250 000 base salary
• Equity

⚕️Benefits

• Day 1 medical/dental/vision benefits
• Flexible time off + 11 Snout calendar holidays
