Job description

Join Blumhouse as a CFO and help us build on the momentum we've gained across general. You won't find a tighter fit if you've got 15 years, want $360,000 - $671,000, and crave a general team that lets you lead.

Key Responsibilities

• Contribute to process improvements that boost efficiency and reduce waste
• Keep records, systems, and shared files organized and up to date
• Champion a positive, collaborative culture throughout the Berkeley, CA office
• Own the boring middle of a project, not just the kickoff
• Keep a steady hand on Blumhouse accounts when volume spikes

What You'll Bring

• Calm under the maker-minded chaos a c-level role tends to generate
• Professionalism, integrity, and discretion with sensitive information
• A CA work history, or strong reasons you'll thrive here anyway
• Adaptability and resilience when facing shifting requirements
• The discipline to document while it's fresh, not after it's forgotten
• The communication discipline to over-share early and trim later
• A collaborator who makes the c-level review feel less like an exam

Blumhouse is less a vendor and more a high-energy Berkeley, CA workshop where Empathy and Prioritization get the attention they deserve. The team trusts each other to do the right thing without constant oversight or micromanagement.
