About Avoma

Avoma is an AI-native B2B SaaS company helping revenue teams win more deals, ramp faster, and save hours every week through AI-powered meeting intelligence and coaching. We’re post–Series A, and scaling fast with a global team.

The Opportunity

We’re looking for a hands-on Head of Finance & People Operations (Director-level) to own our financial foundation and people operations as we scale efficiently toward our next phase of growth.

This is a foundational leadership role reporting directly to the CEO.

You'll be the person ensuring we make every dollar count while building a world-class culture. You'll balance the rigor of financial planning with the empathy of people operations – two sides of the same coin when building efficiently.

What You'll Own

Finance (60%)

• Manage all financial operations: accounting, bookkeeping, payroll (India + US), accounts payable/receivable

• Own financial planning, budgeting, and monthly/quarterly board reporting

• Build and monitor unit economics, CAC payback, burn rate, and runway projections

• Lead fundraising preparation (financial models, data room, investor metrics)

• Oversee vendor relationships, contracts, and spend management

• Manage banking relationships, cash management, and foreign exchange

• Ensure compliance across India and US operations (tax, regulatory, audit)

• Partner with Revenue Operations on pricing, packaging, and revenue recognition

People Operations (40%)

• Design and implement scalable people systems for a cross-border team

• Own full employee lifecycle: recruiting coordination, onboarding, offboarding

• Manage equity administration, HRIS, and benefits programs (India + US)

• Build compensation frameworks and conduct benchmarking

• Develop performance management processes and promotion frameworks

• Ensure compliance with employment law across geographies

• Foster culture and engagement in a distributed environment

• Partner with leadership on organizational design and headcount planning

What Success Looks Like

First 90 days:

• Clean financials with clear visibility into burn, runway, and key metrics

• Financial model that leadership trusts for decision-making

• Streamlined monthly close process (India + US consolidated)

• Documented people processes (hiring, onboarding, compensation)

• Strong grasp of unit economics and growth levers

First year:

• Extended runway through efficient growth (improved CAC payback, net retention)

• Scalable people infrastructure supporting 50% headcount growth

   

Who You Are

Required:

• 7-12 years of experience with at least 4 years in SaaS startups

• Proven experience managing finance across Series B growth stage

• Track record building people operations in high-growth, global environments

• Deep understanding of SaaS metrics (ARR, NDR, CAC, LTV, Rule of 40)

• Experience with cross-border operations (India/US strongly preferred)

• Hands-on operator comfortable with both strategy and execution

• MBA or CA/CPA preferred but not required

Ideal background:

• Finance or people lead at a Series A/B/C SaaS company

• Familiarity with AI/ML business models

• Built global operational systems from scratch

You thrive when:

• Wearing multiple hats and context-switching between finance and people

• Translating financial data into strategic recommendations

• Balancing employee advocacy with financial discipline

• Working autonomously with minimal direction
