[Hiring] Financial Operations & Accounting @Shaper

Role Description

We're looking for a Financial Operations & Accounting team member to own the core financial workflows that keep Shaper and its portfolio companies running smoothly. This is a hands-on role for someone who thrives on detail, moves fast, and wants direct exposure to how early-stage company finances operate. You'll work closely with leadership, gain visibility across multiple businesses rather than just one, and help build the financial infrastructure as Shaper continues to grow.

• Own end-to-end financial operations across Shaper and its portfolio companies, from accounts payable and vendor management to treasury and cash movement, so leadership always has accurate, real-time visibility into the numbers.
• Drive customer invoicing and collections, keeping revenue capture tight as portfolio companies scale.
• Partner directly with leadership on cash management, including preparing and packaging wire transfers for approval.
• Build and maintain the financial systems and records that serve as the source of truth across multiple businesses.
• Proactively identify and fix broken or inefficient processes, building the financial infrastructure as Shaper grows rather than just maintaining what exists.
• Support equity issuance and payroll administration across the portfolio.

Qualifications

• Fluent in Excel and Google Sheets, with the financial systems or ERP fluency to build and trust your own numbers.
• Meticulous and highly responsive, with the judgment to know what needs immediate attention and what can wait.
• You pick things up quickly, execute ruthlessly, and learn even faster; you're entrepreneurial, scrappy, and comfortable in zero-to-one environments.
• You break down ambiguous problems clearly, communicate actionable insights to leadership, and don't wait for permission to act.
• Low ego, high ownership; you move fluidly between the details and the bigger financial picture, and you're always willing to roll up your sleeves, no task is beneath you.
• Energized by fast-paced, early-stage environments where the function is still being built.

Requirements

• Bonus: 4+ years in finance operations, accounting, or a related field (or a relevant degree).
• Bonus: startup experience.
• Bonus: HR or payroll experience.
• Bonus: familiarity with QuickBooks, Campfire, Ramp, or similar tools.

Benefits

• A seat at the center of Shaper's company building engine, with visibility across multiple early-stage businesses.
• Direct exposure to how lean startups run financially, day to day.
• The backing and playbook of operators who've built and exited before.
• A team that moves fast, treats each other well, and gets things done.
