Job description

Build the finance function from zero. MarvelX is on a mission to rewire the financial services industry, starting with insurance. We're building vertical, agentic AI platforms that automate complex workflows across underwriting, claims, fraud detection, and customer engagement. Backed by leading investors, we're scaling fast across Europe and the US, assembling a world-class team to define the future of AI-driven enterprise platforms. As we move from early-stage to scale-up, we're hiring our first Finance Lead to build and own the entire finance function - from clean books and cash visibility to investor reporting and financial modeling.

Role overview

This isn't a role where you inherit a clean system and maintain it. You'll be the one creating it. Reporting to the COO, you'll work directly with the founders and leadership team - owning everything from day-to-day payments and bookkeeping to the financial models that support our board meetings. Structured enough to build process, fast enough to keep up with a company moving at our pace.

Key responsibilities

• FP&A & financial modeling Own the operating model, scenario planning, and board-level financial narrative. Build models that are actually used to make decisions.
• Cash flow & runway management Real-time visibility into burn, runway, and financial health across our European and US operations.
• Payments, accounting & bookkeeping Own vendor payments, client invoicing, and coordination with external accountants. Ensure clean books and compliance across our entities.
• Investor reporting & fundraise support Own the data room, financial schedules, and investor-facing materials. Be the person who makes due diligence seamless.
• FinOps & spend governance Build and enforce spend governance as we scale headcount. Cloud infrastructure, contractors, tooling - full visibility and controls.

Who you are

• You have 3–5 years of finance experience and are ready to own a function for the first time. You've built financial models that were actually used to make decisions - not just formatted for slides.
• You're automation-minded: you use tools like Excel, Google Sheets, or no-code platforms to eliminate manual work.
• You're comfortable with ambiguity and can structure your own priorities without being managed closely.
• You communicate clearly with non-finance stakeholders - founders, investors, clients.
• You've worked at a high-growth startup or scale-up, ideally in tech, fintech, or AI.

Why join

Be the first Finance hire at one of Europe's most exciting AI scale-ups - shaping how the company grows from the ground up. Partner directly with the COO, CEO, and leadership team - real influence, ownership, and visibility from day one. A front-row seat to an international expansion across Europe, the US, and worldwide.

Competitive compensation, equity participation, and the opportunity to grow your career as the business scales globally.

What we offer

• Competitive salary and meaningful equity participation.
• The chance to build a finance function from scratch at a fast-growing AI company.
• Direct access to founders and leadership from day one.
• A front-row seat to a Series A raise and international expansion.
• Remote-friendly setup with an async-first culture.
