Director of Finance

Treeswift Inc•New York, NY

8d•$175,000 - $220,000

About The Position

Treeswift is hiring its first Director of Finance, and the timing couldn't be more meaningful. We've proven our product works with some of the largest utilities in the country, and now we're building upon the financial foundation to match where we're headed. The right person for this role gets excited by complexity. We sit at the intersection of hardware, AI, and enterprise infrastructure - and that means our financial story doesn't fit neatly into any existing playbook. This is a role for someone who wants to build something genuinely new, at a company doing work that matters You'll report directly to our Co-Founder & CEO and serve as the financial backbone of the company, owning everything from growth modeling and capital strategy to pricing and investor storytelling. This isn't a role for someone who wants to maintain a system. It's for someone who wants to build one, who can be scrappy and strategic in the same week, and who gets energized by being close to the business they're helping to scale.

Requirements

5+ years in finance with increasing scope - experience at a private equity, growth equity, or venture capital fund (consumer-focused a plus)
You've worked in or alongside a hardware or capital-intensive business - you understand COGS, hardware financing, and why non-SaaS models require a different playbook
You're a strong financial modeler who builds from scratch and knows how to make models actually useful to a business
You've supported or led fundraising processes and know what investors expect to see - you've "seen it happen" and can run the process
You're scrappy, curious, and in touch - you don't wait for perfect data, you stay close to the business, and you're genuinely excited to learn an industry that doesn't fit neatly into any existing framework
Based in or able to regularly commute to NYC - live in the tri-state area
