• As CFO, you are a key member of the executive leadership team, playing a critical role in scaling the business, strengthening financial discipline and ensuring that the company is fully prepared for the increasing demands of investors, governance and international complexity.
  
  
•  The financial foundation is in place; however, it must be further professionalized to support rapid growth, increasing operational leverage and a multi-entity international structure. You will be responsible for building and continuously improving a state-of-the-art, data-driven finance organization, with scalable processes, systems and controls that meet the expectations of investors and support future funding rounds and potential exit scenarios.
  
  
• Finance is expected to act as a high-impact business partner to the organization. You ensure that finance actively supports strategic and operational decision-making, providing forward-looking insights, robust financial modelling, scenario analysis and clear performance management across the business. A strong focus on value drivers, unit economics, margin development and capital efficiency is essential.
  
  
• You also serve as the primary financial counterpart of the CEO towards the Supervisory Board, investors and other key stakeholders. This includes delivering timely, accurate and insightful reporting, forecasts and analyses, as well as supporting board-level discussions on strategy, capital allocation, risk management and long-term value creation.
  
  
• In addition to finance, your portfolio also covers HR and legal tasks. You make sure the organization has the people, structures and legal framework to keep pace with its growth. This includes shaping and overseeing HR policies and contractual and corporate legal matters across the international entities. You ensure compliance with laws and regulations, and manage corporate insurance policies. Furthermore, you see to it that these areas grow as professional, scalable functions that support the company’s ambitions and protect its interests.

• You are an experienced CFO with a proven track record as CFO within the management team of Tech Scale-ups, preferably backed by VCs or PE firms. You have successfully professionalized finance organizations during phases of rapid growth, ideally within deep tech, advanced manufacturing or industrial technology contexts.
  
  
• You bring strong expertise in accounting, cash flow management, fundraising support, and investor reporting, and you are comfortable operating in an international setting. A deep understanding of value drivers, unit economics, margin management and capital efficiency is essential.
  
  
• You are highly data-driven, capable of building scalable financial systems and delivering forward-looking insights that support strategic and operational decision-making. 
  
  
• You also act as a trusted business partner to the CEO and leadership team, and as a credible counterpart to Boards and investors.

For an enterprising finance professional seeking the responsibility and freedom to help build a fast-growing, internationally active scale-up, this role offers the perfect opportunity. With a solution-oriented, 'can-do' mindset, resilient and thriving in fast-paced, high-growth environments, the new CFO will feel right at home at Fastmicro.
