Job details
A fast-growing robotics and physical AI company in the Greater Boston area is hiring a full-time Head of Finance / SVP of Finance to help scale operations during a major growth phase.

The organization is looking for a hands-on finance leader who can operate strategically with executives and investors while also building scalable processes internally. The right candidate will help shape the future of a high-growth robotics business by driving financial rigor, improving operational visibility, and building the systems needed to support rapid expansion.
