About the role

Responsibilities

  • Build the room and fuel the raise: own the data room, investor reporting, KPI packs and due diligence requests, and produce the material that gets a round over the line.
  • Scale our finance stack from near-zero: improve, choose the tools, wire them together, and use AI and automation to kill repetitive finance and admin work, reconciliation, reporting, document handling, data extraction, in close collaboration with the DevOps team.
  • Own cash forecasting, burn tracking, runway monitoring, budget vs. actual, the numbers and analysis the founders look at every week.
  • Design process that fits a startup: enough structure for investors and auditors to trust us, light enough that nobody at UMA ever waits on finance.

  • Handle corporate and legal: cap table maintenance and BSPCE administration, corporate housekeeping and statutory filings, contract lifecycle management (NDAs, signature workflows, filing, renewals, obligations tracking).
  • Optimize the day-to-day finance engine: supplier invoices, payments, expense flows, banking, and the quarterly close with external accountants.
  • Be the reliable, straight-talking point of contact for the team on anything finance and admin: simple rules, fast answers.

Qualifications

  • 3+ years in consulting, investment bank, audit, or a finance role in a fast-growing tech startup.
  • Experience carrying real accountability in a demanding environment.
  • Multidisciplinary capability to move between cash forecast, supplier file, CIR claim, and board pack on the same day.
  • Experience working with AI tools by default and using them to multiply output.
  • Entrepreneurial mindset: ability to build processes and ship useful results quickly.
  • Agility over procedure; ability to bring structure to ambiguity while maintaining rigor where it matters.
  • Strong interest in deep tech, robotics, AI, hardware or frontier technology.
  • Excellent English; French is a strong plus.
  • Master's in finance, business school, Master CCA/DSCG, or equivalent.
