Senior Finance Manager

Vend Park • Boston, MA

1d • Hybrid

About The Position

Vend Park is building the AI-powered digital infrastructure of the built world. Our team is rewriting how commercial real estate owners manage and monetize parking, using automation, data, and agentic AI to simplify operations and unlock new revenue. This transforms a historically analog system into a modern, software-driven platform. In under two years, we’ve scaled to 23 cities and partnered with leading owners like Nuveen, Jamestown, and Federal Realty. We operate as a small, high-ownership team where decisions move fast and solutions ship quickly and reliably.

The Role We're hiring a Senior Finance Manager to help scale some of the most critical infrastructure we're building. Until now, our finance function has been founder-led. It has been gritty, hands-on, and successful. Now, we are looking for a partner to take the baton and turn that grit into a scalable, high-velocity machine. This is not a role for someone who wants to hide behind a spreadsheet. This is a role for a builder who will be the guardian of our unit economics, the voice of reason in the boardroom, and the architect of the infrastructure that allows us to scale from Series A onwards. This role reports to the COO and is based on the East Coast.

The Heart of the Role
You are not just "keeping the books." You are building the nervous system of the company.
You are the Guardian of Trust: Our real estate partners rely on us. You will own the "Payment to Owners" process, ensuring that every dollar is accounted for, every deposit is tested, and every partner is paid with precision. You understand that a late payment isn't an administrative error; it’s a breach of trust.
You are a Builder of Infrastructure: We are maturing our capital structure. You will lead the critical transition of our banking relationships, managing loan covenants, and establishing a treasury management strategy that optimizes our capital.
You are a Strategic Storyteller: Data is useless without a narrative. You will own Board preparation, translating raw financials into clear, strategic insights that help our investors and leadership team make bold decisions.

Requirements

• High-slope curiosity: Ability to find answers and inquisitiveness about how things work.
• Obsession with accuracy and understanding that financials represent the business's truth.
• Tech-forward mindset, excited about using AI tools to audit work, confirm data, and speed up workflows.
• Emotional investment in excellence; taking personal responsibility for errors.
• Ability to work directly with the COO and Founders with no layers of bureaucracy.
• Supportive leadership team that understands the value and difficulty of the role.
• Permission to build and replace manual processes with systems for 10x growth.

Responsibilities

• Project-manage the migration of our banking infrastructure to Stripe, ensuring a seamless transition for all capital flows.
• Implement rigorous approval workflows for AP/AR, ensuring we burn cash efficiently.
• Own the relationship with our lenders, managing debt facilities and covenants.
• Personally oversee and verify payments to owners, treating this with zero-defect mentality—testing deposits first and verifying accuracy before funds leave the door.
• Manage the team responsible for delivering reports to our clients, ensuring fast, accurate, and human answers to client questions about their statements.
• Work directly with Engineering to push forward product requirements, automating financial flows and building "finance" directly into our software.
• Manage, mentor, and grow the Billing and Reporting teams.
• Set high standards and help your team reach them.

Benefits

• Flexible Work Environment (work from home, Boston HQ, or other productive locations)
• Flexible schedules and hybrid setups
• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage
• Unlimited PTO
• Learning & Development support (conferences, certifications, professional development resources)
• Team Building & Connection (quarterly retreats, team outings, virtual hangouts)
• Generous paid parental leave
• 401(k) program with company matching contributions
