Summary:
Our client is a well-funded, high-growth AI SaaS company seeking a CFO to lead the business through two simultaneous strategic transactions: the sale of a legacy business unit and a material capital raise for the core AI business. This role reports directly to the CEO and board, and is critical to shaping the financial narrative for investors and acquirers. The right candidate brings direct M&A or fundraising deal experience, SaaS or AI-adjacent industry knowledge, and the ability to operate with urgency in a high-burn environment.
Why It's Worth Your Time
- Serve as the primary financial leader through a dual strategic process — business unit divestiture and AI company capital raise — with a named investment bank already engaged
- Work directly with the CEO and board on high-stakes financial decisions at a scaling, venture-backed AI SaaS company
- Fully remote role with direct board-level visibility and exposure
- Opportunity to be the CFO who takes a well-funded, high-traction AI platform through its next major chapter
What You'll Own
- Lead all CFO-level responsibilities across financial reporting, FP&A, and cash management for the AI SaaS business
- Serve as the company's financial lead
- Drive financial segmentation between two business units as the company prepares for separation
- Manage the company's cash burn and liquidity position through a high-investment growth phase
- Partner with the CEO and board to translate financial performance into clear, accurate narratives
- Oversee accounting operations and financial controls
Must-Haves
- 15+ years of progressive finance experience, including prior CFO tenure
- Direct involvement in a sell-side M&A process or capital raise — not just familiarity, active deal participation
- Background in SaaS, agentic AI, or an adjacent technology industry
- Demonstrated ability to manage and communicate clearly in a high-burn business
- Detail-oriented with the confidence to challenge optimistic assumptions at the executive and board level
- Comfort operating in a fast-moving, high-stakes environment with multiple concurrent priorities
Nice to Have
- Prior experience managing financial segmentation or carve-out accounting across business units
- Exposure to venture- or growth equity-backed company environments
