Chief Financial Officer

💻 About the Role

As Amber enters its next critical phase of growth, we are looking for a Chief Financial Officer (CFO) to partner with the Co-CEOs and executive team. This role is pivotal in navigating the complexities of scaling a high-growth company at the intersection of technology and the electricity markets.

We are currently approaching $20m/year in Net Revenue, with a clear path towards >$100m in next few years (driven by both rapid growth in Australia and licensing technology deals). A rough goal for the role would be to get the financial fundamentals into an “IPO-able” position over this time horizon (even if an IPO isn’t actually a business focus for us).

You will be the financial cornerstone of the company, responsible for leading our financial strategy, engaging with investors, managing risk, and mentoring a high-performing finance team of 6. The ideal candidate is a seasoned finance leader who can blend meticulous financial detail with high-level communication, acting as a trusted partner to the Co-CEOs and a credible representative of Amber to our board and investors. You will be responsible for ensuring the business remains financially robust and resilient to achieve its ambitious mission.

Key Responsibilities

• Strategic Leadership & Investor Relations: Partner with the Co-CEOs to shape the company's financial strategy. You will own the financial narrative and be a key point of contact for our Board, existing investors, and prospective capital partners.
• Financial Planning & Analysis: Own and evolve our financial model, providing insightful analysis and strategic guidance to the executive team and board. Your ability to translate complex financial data into a clear "so-what" will be critical for decision-making.
• Team Leadership & Development: Lead, mentor, and develop our talented finance team. You will foster a culture of excellence, accountability, and proactive partnership with the rest of the business.
• Risk Management & Controls: Bring a proactive and "paranoid" approach to risk management. You will be responsible for identifying and mitigating financial, operational, and market risks, particularly those unique to the energy retail sector. This includes owning our prudential management, hedging strategy, and ensuring robust financial controls are in place.
• Financial Operations: Oversee all financial operations, including reporting, treasury, cash management, payroll, accounting/audit, and compliance. You will ensure the finance function is a bastion of accuracy and efficiency.
• Executive Partnership: Serve as a key member of the executive leadership team, contributing to company-wide strategy and working collaboratively with other departments to drive improved financial outcomes across the business.
