Job description

atmio is a climate tech startup founded by second-time founders who have built and scaled companies before — and we're doing it again, this time tackling one of the hardest and most impactful problems: reducing emissions in the energy sector.

Now we're looking for a Head of Finance.

You’ll have a direct impact on atmio’s ability to raise capital and make smart financial decisions.

As the first dedicated finance hire, you’ll get full ownership and autonomy. The role offers strong development potential into a future lead or CFO-type position, a high-caliber founding team and the chance to help scale a company with real customers, revenue, and climate impact.

What You’ll Do

• You will own finance at atmio
• That means running accounting and reporting
• Keeping budgets and cash flow under control, and making sure our numbers are always investor-ready
• Prepare and lead the financial side of our next fundraise, build scenarios and forecasts for key decisions, and work closely with the C-level team as a sparring partner on strategy and priorities
• Go-to person for financial questions across the company and help us turn early-stage processes into scalable financial structures

This Role Is Right for You If…

• You bring 5+ years of experience in finance, controlling, or a similar role and have been involved in a series A+ start-up including funding rounds
• You excel and financial models are second nature to you, and you enjoy building structure without slowing things down
• You’re comfortable working in fast-changing environments, take ownership by default, and communicate clearly with both operators and founders
• You are motivated by using numbers to drive better decisions, not just reporting them

Requirements

Skills & experience you will need

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent in Finance or other related fields (Master’s a plus)
• 5+ years of relevant experience in finance or controlling
• Fundraising and investor reporting experience
• Strong Excel and financial modeling skills
• Startup or high-growth environment experience
• Fluent in German and English

Benefits

• Remote Working: Work from our hubs in Hamburg or Munich, or remote from Germany
• Unlimited Vacation: Take as many holidays as you need — we trust you to recharge when it matters most
• Flexible Working Hours: Work during the hours that align with your peak performance and lifestyle
• Mental Health Matters: Access 1:1 psychologist sessions and workshops through our Bloom partnership
• Professional Growth: Use a dedicated development budget to enhance your skills and career
• Stock Option Plan: Receive virtual stocks as a reward for your trust, effort, and vision alignment
• Unite, Recharge, Celebrate: Join in-person team retreats to connect and have fun
• Explore Germany: Enjoy the Deutschlandticket for flexible public transportation access
