About The Position

Themis is a collaborative governance, risk, and compliance platform helping banks, credit unions, and fintechs streamline oversight, strengthen compliance programs, and move faster with confidence. Our customers operate in highly regulated environments where strong governance, risk management, and compliance practices are critical. We partner closely with financial institutions and fintechs to help them build scalable, effective oversight programs and navigate an increasingly complex regulatory landscape. At Themis, we believe great companies are built through disciplined operations, financial clarity, and a bias toward execution. We're looking for team members who are excited to solve meaningful problems, build strong internal systems, and help shape the future of governance, risk, and compliance.

We're looking for a Finance & Operations Manager to be the operational backbone of Themis. This is a high-impact, cross-functional role that sits at the center of how we run the business — from managing day-to-day financial operations and supporting the CEO's external-facing commitments, to driving AI adoption across internal processes. The ideal candidate is equally comfortable in spreadsheets and in board decks. They are detail-oriented yet strategic, resourceful, and bring a builder's mindset to every process they touch. This role will work directly with the CEO and have high visibility across the entire organization.
