About The Position

Runwise is looking to hire a Strategic Finance Associate and add to one of the largest and fastest-growing prop-tech companies in the US. Runwise (www.runwise.com) is a fast-paced, customer-focused climate-tech startup that controls and runs the key energy systems (heating, cooling, water, etc…) in 8,500+ buildings throughout the US. Runwise’s unique hardware and software service significantly reduces energy usage, substantially lowering costs and carbon output. As of today, Runwise’s technology takes the equivalent of 100,000 cars worth of carbon emissions off the road each year. In this highly visible role, you’ll join a small, agile finance team with significant runway to develop, implement, and execute on Runwise’s financial strategy. Reporting to the Strategic Finance Manager, you’ll join a high-growth start-up as the second strategic finance hire, and leverage your analytical skills to solve complex financial challenges that do not have well-defined solutions.
