Director of Finance (Path to CFO)

Prime Robotics is building a full-stack warehouse automation platform combining robotics and software to transform warehouse operations. With teams in the U.S. and China and growing commercial deployments, we are entering our next phase of scale, including ERP implementation and a planned Series A raise.

We are hiring a Director of Finance to lead and scale our finance function. This role will focus on elevating, integrating, and scaling the current foundations as the company grows.

This is a hands‑on role for someone who can operate across both strategic finance and day‑to‑day execution, with a clear path to CFO based on performance as the company scales post‑Series A.

What You’ll Own

1. Financial Operations

• Own core processes including billing, collections, payables, payroll (in partnership with HR), and cash management
• Ensure timely and accurate financial reporting and month‑end close
• Own intercompany accounting and international financial coordination; manage finance operations across the U.S. and China, oversee bookkeeper in the US and accountant in China
• Execute and evolve purchasing and vendor management processes for the short term as the company scales, building a process for a future purchaser
• Manage external partners (CPA, PEO, banking)
• Step into execution where needed in a lean environment, while building toward scalable team structures

2. Strategic Finance & Business Partnership

• Build and maintain financial models to support planning and fundraising
• Partner with the CEO on Series A preparation, diligence, and investor communication
• Own budgeting and budget vs. actual analysis at both company and departmental levels
• Partner with sales and operations to develop pricing frameworks and improve unit economics
• Perform project‑based financial analysis, including forecasting and margin visibility

3. Systems, Process & Scale

• Act as a cross‑functional partner to align finance processes across departments
• Design and implement scalable financial processes, controls, and reporting structures
• Establish finance‑driven approval workflows and operating discipline (e.g., pricing, proposals, spending)
• Build the financial and operational infrastructure to support company scaling and future team growth
• Lead ownership of ERP (Odoo) implementation and coordinate with other departments (short term)

Requirements

Who You Are

What You Bring

• Proven ability to own and scale a finance function in a lean environment
• Experience supporting fundraising and investor reporting
• Strong understanding of GAAP and financial reporting

Why This Role

• Direct partnership with CEO on company strategy and fundraising
