Who we are looking for
We’re looking for a commercially sharp, strategic finance leader to partner with our COO and drive Cadmus through its next phase of growth. You’ll lead our finance function, own the fundraising process end-to-end, and represent Cadmus with confidence at the board and investor level. With deep experience in scaling tech startups, raising capital, and shaping commercial strategy, you’ll be both a big-picture thinker and a hands-on operator — someone who can build robust financial models, drive investor conversations, and help position Cadmus for global expansion and long-term success.
The Role
What success looks like
By the first 90 days, you have quickly come up to speed on Cadmus’ business model, financials, and growth strategy. The company’s accounting and reporting foundations are solid, with clear budgets, forecasts, and a detailed financial model covering the next 2–3 years. You’ve mapped out the capital strategy and are leading preparations for our next raise — aligned with our vision and timing.
In 12 months, you’ve successfully led a capital raise — bringing in the right investors at the right valuation to fuel our next stage of growth. You’re a trusted advisor to the CEO and COO and a key partner in managing investor and board relationships. Cadmus is operating with financial clarity, commercial focus, and a clear path toward long-term value creation, thanks to the strategic foundation you’ve built.
The team
You will be reporting to Brigitte Elliott, the Founding Executive Director of Cadmus. Brigitte oversees global company operations and leads the strategic direction and execution across commercial, marketing, product, engineering, and operations—functions she has built from the ground up. With a strong background in scaling fast-growth organisations, she brings deep expertise in improving strategic alignment and operational efficiency, as well as navigating early-stage ventures through ideation, product-market fit, and commercialisation.
