Head of Finance (F/M/*)

From Europe, for Europe – We are building Europe's Business AI.

We are amber, a growing and innovative AI startup. SMEs benefit when internal knowledge becomes immediately usable and intelligent agents can react to it. We believe in a future where Business AI, including agents, works together on a common platform, allowing teams to work faster, handovers to be seamless, and expertise to remain within the company.

As Head of Finance (F/M/*) at amber, you will take full responsibility for our finance organization – and build it from the ground up. Important to know: No team on day 1 – you will build it. You will work closely with the management team, create transparency about our numbers, professionalize our financial processes, and strategically support our growth. This role will grow with the company – with a clear perspective towards CFO.

If you are eager to shape the finance function of an innovative SaaS company from the very beginning, then get in touch with us now!

Your Responsibilities

• You will be responsible for the entire financial management – from controlling and reporting to liquidity planning, budgeting, and forecasting

• You will develop meaningful KPI dashboards and create numerical transparency for management, the team, and investors

• You will manage the collaboration with tax advisors, auditors, and banks and will be responsible for monthly and annual financial statements

• You will support financing rounds, due diligence processes, and strategic projects together with the management team

Your Qualifications

• You have at least 3 years of experience in Transaction Services, Auditing, or Investment Banking

• You have completed a degree in Business Administration, Finance, Accounting, or a comparable field

• You have sound knowledge in accounting (HGB), controlling, and financial planning; initial exposure to SaaS metrics (ARR, MRR, Churn, CAC) is a plus

• You are eager to build things: You don't want to manage, but shape – a hands-on mentality and self-responsibility characterize you

• You work data-oriented, analyze complex situations in a structured manner, and derive concrete measures from them

• You are tech-savvy and proficient in using modern finance tools and ERP/accounting systems

• You think entrepreneurially and want to take on responsibility in the long term – including the perspective of CFO

• You communicate clearly and reliably in German and English and present yourself confidently to management, investors, and banks

Your Benefits

• You have the choice: Either a subsidized Deutschlandticket or an Urban Sports Club membership

• We live a hybrid work model: We believe it is important to collaborate in person regularly. Therefore, we meet three times a week at one of our locations

• So that you are well provided for on-site, we offer digital, tax-free meal vouchers every workday on-site directly to your phone

• Start in a company that allows you to grow and gives you the opportunity to develop your skills step by step
