As our VP of Finance, you will own and bring discipline to Tiny Health's finance function at a pivotal moment in our growth. You will build the operating rhythm that keeps the business steered month to month, from a reliable forecast that reconciles against actuals to a monthly business review where every meaningful variance gets a real decision. You will also supply the financial rigor behind how we allocate capital and raise it as we scale through our Series B and beyond.

This is a builder's role. You will start hands-on across the full scope of finance and, over your first year, hire and ramp the team beneath you so you can move from day-to-day execution into true financial partnership with the leadership team. This position reports to our Chief Growth Officer.

• Own a monthly forecast-to-actuals reconciliation and a driver-based rolling forecast, and tighten the close over the year so re-forecasting is fast

• Run a monthly business review where every meaningful variance gets a documented call to hold, reallocate, or cut

• Evaluate, select, and implement the financial systems stack, then run the next annual planning cycle on it

• Inform business decision making to executive leadership through provision of timely, accurate and succinct financial health information

• Regularly collaborate in async and live discussions with Leadership, informing strategic growth of the company

• Hire and ramp a controller and an FP&A analyst, and move from execution into financial partnership

• 10+ years in finance, including a senior FP&A or finance-leadership role

• Have personally owned a monthly close end-to-end and know where closes break

• Can build a driver-based forecast where a change in a current-month actual flows through to full-year guidance and operational inputs like inventory

• Have evaluated and implemented a financial systems stack, including the judgment to call whether new systems were warranted at all

• Comfortable owning a broad, under-resourced scope solo, triaging deliberately, before the team is built beneath you

• Experience operating in a venture-backed, high-growth environment

• Strong written communication: can explain a complex financial decision so someone outside finance can act without a follow-up call

• Have hired and built a small finance team (controller, FP&A)

• Comfortable with revenue-timing and cash-flow nuances like deferred revenue, or quick to get up to speed on them

• DTC / consumer or healthcare / diagnostics domain experience

• Can move a skeptical decision-maker on the strength of the argument, not the title

• CPA or equivalent

• Have been through a priced equity round (Series A/B) on the company side

• A mission that actually pulls people in
  We make the microbiome measurable and actionable at every life stage, and real people write in to say it's life-changing.

• Remote-first, real overlap
  Our FTEs are based in North America and work core hours from 9am–6pm CST, shiftable by up to two hours either way — start at 7am or 11am, wrap at 4pm or 8pm.

• Written first, huddle second, meet last
  Default to a clear Slack post, huddle when a thread stalls, and meet only to make a real decision.

• Fast, but never sloppy
  Do the two-month thing in two weeks, then check the work—shipping errors is rework, not speed.

• Shape what we build, not just how we build it
  There's no playbook waiting for you, so write it—and bring the alternative, not just the objection.

• Day One mentality
  Fewer titles and layers; process is a guardrail where it counts, never the reason something didn't ship.

• No hidden agendas
  Numbers, misses, and feedback are shared openly and in real time, so you always know where you stand.

• High standards, genuinely fun people
  Take the work seriously and ourselves much less—high-performing and fun to be around is the hiring bar.

• Is this pace for you?
  Venture-scaled and on a steep trajectory, with intensity in spikes, fiercely protected flexibility, and faster growth than anywhere else.
