About the Role

We're looking for a strategic, execution-oriented CFO to lead Campfire's financial operations and help shape the company's next phase of growth. This is a seat at the leadership table β€” you'll partner closely with the CEO and board to drive business strategy, capital decisions, and long-term planning.

What You'll Do

  • Lead financial planning, forecasting, budgeting, and reporting across the company

  • Drive fundraising strategy, investor relations, and capital allocation decisions

  • Build and scale the finance, accounting, and operations functions

  • Partner with GTM, Product, and Engineering leaders to inform pricing, unit economics, and growth decisions

  • Ensure strong financial controls, compliance, and audit readiness

  • Evaluate strategic partnerships, and other corporate transactions

What We're Looking For

  • 10+ years of finance leadership experience, ideally in high-growth SaaS or enterprise software

  • Prior experience as CFO or VP Finance at a venture-backed company preferred

  • Track record of leading fundraising rounds (Series B and beyond) or taking a company public

  • Strong communicator who can translate complex financial data into strategic insight for diverse audiences

  • Operator mindset β€” comfortable getting into the details while keeping an eye on the big picture

  • A true product champion β€” You'll use Campfire daily as a core part of running the finance function, and carry that firsthand experience into every external conversation, embodying what it means to be a customer and ambassador of the product you help build.

  • Deep integrity and sound judgment in ambiguous, fast-moving environments
