Who We Are

We build the intelligence that lets robots sense, reason, and act in the real world—moving beyond the lab and into everyday industrial settings like warehouses and factories. Our technology closes the automation gaps that traditional systems can’t solve. We are on a mission to redefine how physical work gets done, and we’re looking for curious, bold thinkers to help shape the future of robotics with us.

Overview

We are seeking an experienced Finance Leader based in Stuttgart who can effectively bridge strategic financial planning with hands-on operational tasks. This role is essential for delivering accurate financial reporting for board meetings with our investors, establishing robust financial processes, and managing daily transactional activities.

Your Responsibilities:

Financial Processes & Structures

  • Develop, implement, and optimize financial systems (e.g. cost accounting, controlling, reporting) to support both operational efficiency and strategic objectives.

  • Introduce and manage tools that streamline accounting functions and enhance financial reporting accuracy.

Reporting & Analysis

  • Prepare and present regular financial reports and ad-hoc analyses, including cash flow statements and liquidity forecasts.

  • Deliver detailed financial insights for board meetings and investor communications.

  • Assist with budget planning, monitoring, and forecasting to guide strategic decision-making.

Strategic Support

  • Serve as a trusted advisor to management on financial and investment decisions.

  • Identify and implement opportunities for cost optimization and efficiency improvements across the organization.

Hands-On Financial Operations

  • Prepare detailed financial reports for board meetings with investors.

  • Develop and refine financial structures, such as cost tracking systems.

  • Execute routine tasks including bill payments and receipt scanning, ensuring accuracy and timeliness.

  • Foster a collaborative culture through close cooperation with departments like Operations, Sales, and Engineering.

Accounting & Bookkeeping

  • Oversee day-to-day bookkeeping, including accounts payable/receivable and payment transactions.

  • Manage dunning processes and ensure timely processing of receipts and invoices.

  • Collaborate with tax consultants and auditors for the preparation of monthly and annual financial statements.

Qualifications:

Education & Experience

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Business Administration, Economics, or a related field with a focus on Finance/Accounting.

  • Several years of practical experience in finance—preferably in dynamic, fast-paced environments such as investment banking, private equity, consulting or startups.

Soft Skills

  • A hands-on, proactive mindset with a high degree of ownership and attention to detail.

  • Excellent time management, structured working style, and strong communication skills.

  • A strategic thinker with a pragmatic approach to problem-solving in a technology-driven environment.

  • Fluency in written and spoken English (German optional).

Our interview plan:

  • Application

  • Take‑home assignment: You’ll complete a short, role‑relevant task with clear instructions and a deadline.

  • Cultural fit interview (40 min): A conversation about how you work, what motivates you, and what you’re looking for. Expect CV highlights, your “why,” and time for your questions.

  • Interview with our Finance Director (60 min): A discussion on vision, impact, and how the role connects to company priorities.

  • On‑site visit: Meet the team and one of the Founders at our office and collaborate on a real challenge similar to the work you’d do here. You’ll get a clear feel for the environment and ways of working.

What We Offer:

  • Wellpass (gym membership)

  • Flexible working hours

  • Option to work from home

  • A key role in an innovative AI-robotics startup

  • Wide-ranging scope for shaping and developing our Finance department

  • A motivated team and an open corporate culture

  • Competitive compensation and excellent opportunities for development

  • Benefit from weekly leadership interactions, and engagement with international Tier 1 investors—accelerating your professional development and broadening your strategic impact.
