Head of Finance

As vCluster Labs’ Head of Finance, you aren’t just closing the books; you are the forward-looking operating system of the business. You will partner with the CEO and board to turn our plan into a living model that updates as we hire, as deals slip, and as the market shifts, and you will own the financial infrastructure we scale through our next fundraising rounds.

As Head of Finance, your role will include:

• Forward-Looking FP&A: Own our financial model end-to-end. You will build and continuously update near-term sales forecasts and long-term projections, pairing planning with a clear, honest read of projection vs. actual.

• Hiring & Operating Plan: Keep the hiring plan and operating model in sync with the business in real time. You will pressure-test assumptions, surface tradeoffs, and help leaders make fast, well-lit decisions on where to invest.

• Accounting & Compliance: Run an efficient close and own the post-transaction financial reality (GAAP, audits, tax compliance, and month-end) while identifying P&L efficiency without ever breaking the basics.

• Fundraising & Investor Relations: Serve as the CEO’s key partner during fundraising. You will own the data room, the diligence response, and the financial narrative that closes our next rounds.

• Cross-Functional Financial Voice: Influence Product and Sales with unit economics, pipeline math, and efficiency metrics. You will ground the roadmap in the numbers that actually drive new business and retention.

• Executive & Board Partnership: Act as the primary financial escalation point for leadership and the Board of Directors, aligning financial constraints with ambitious growth goals.

This role could be a fit for you if you bring:

• Scaling-Startup Pedigree: You’ve been close to a finance leader at a great scaling software startup, or were the leader yourself, and understand how the job changes as the company grows. Enterprise-only experience isn’t the fit we’re hiring for.

• Deep Financial Expertise: You have strong technical depth in corporate finance, accounting (GAAP), and SaaS metrics (ARR, NRR, CAC), and can discuss complex financial scenarios with conviction.

• Fundraising Experience: You’ve been through early-stage fundraising rounds, owning diligence workstreams and building investor relationships that close.

• Strategic & Tactical Range: You move comfortably from setting high-level financial strategy to getting hands-on in complex models, spreadsheets, and billing configurations.

• Communication Skills: You can articulate complex financial concepts clearly to a range of audiences: engineers, VCs, and C-level executives alike.

Bonus points for:

• International Subsidiaries Experience: You’ve consolidated a balance sheet and P&L across foreign entities, handled FX translation, and ideally operated inside an audited company.

• Multi-Dimensional Modeling: You’ve built financial models that span role, geography, funnel stage, and product line, not just a single-sheet Excel.

• Credentials: CPA or CFA designation.

• Financial Systems Implementation: Experience implementing and managing modern financial systems at a scaling company.

• Distributed-Team Experience: Previous experience working with widespread distributed teams in a remote-first environment.

We are a venture-backed tech startup and the company pioneering Kubernetes virtualization for the AI era. We raised +$30M from top-tier VCs such as Khosla Ventures (first investor in OpenAI, GitLab, Stripe, Doordash) and are in a hyper-growth phase looking for motivated people to complement our team. Our headquarters are in San Francisco (Salesforce Tower), but our team is distributed around the globe and we have a remote-first work culture.

We are the leading platform for operating GPU infrastructure, enabling AI Cloud providers to deliver a hyperscaler-like experience to their customers and AI factories that need to build that same experience for their internal teams. Our platform delivers the full operational stack operators need to run their GPU data centers — managed Kubernetes, fast isolated tenant provisioning, and automated node provisioning and lifecycle management — enabling them to accelerate time to value, reduce operational burden, and maximize the ROI of every GPU.

We're the company behind vCluster, an open-source technology for virtualizing Kubernetes (10k+ GitHub stars, 40M+ virtual clusters created since 2021). Open source is part of our DNA. At KubeCon North America 2025, we launched our Infrastructure Tenancy Platform for AI — a Kubernetes-native framework purpose-built for running AI, ML, and GPU-intensive workloads anywhere, with an NVIDIA-validated reference architecture for DGX systems.

Benefits

We offer the following benefits:

• Competitive Salary: We offer a competitive compensation package, including equity.

• Platinum-Level Insurance: Health, dental, vision, and life Insurance, including plans for you and eligible dependents (benefits vary depending on country).

• Flexible Working Schedule:  You have a doctor’s appointment or need to head to the supermarket to get groceries at 2pm? We won’t have an issue with that. To us, results matter more than clocking in and out at the same time every day.

• Workplace Flexibility:  We’re very flexible about where you work. We know things can change in life and we’re happy to adjust the work environment for you along the way.

At vCluster Labs, we value and stand for:

1. Make it Happen: We have a relentless bias for action and the grit to push through obstacles. We do whatever it takes to figure it out, put in the work, and ruthlessly prioritize the actions that drive measurable impact for the business.

2. Own the Outcome: We understand that our responsibility doesn't end when a task is checked off; it ends when the value is delivered. We connect our daily individual actions to the broader success of the company and our customers.

3. Create Wow: We measure success by the experience we generate, both inside and outside the company. For our customers, this means impressive speed and intuitive experiences. For our team, this means going the extra mile to support one another and to continuously drive each other to new heights.

4. Open Source, Open Mind: We are actively contributing to and maintaining open-source projects. Internally, we foster meritocracy — the strongest ideas win, no matter who or where they come from.

5. Build Tomorrow’s Standards, Intentionally: We don't just ship software; we define the state-of-the-art of tomorrow. We are fearless in tearing down old approaches to build something better, but we are disciplined in how we do it because we know our users rely on our technology to run mission-critical infrastructure platforms.
