They noticed enterprise organizations and governments move toward corporate social responsibility - tying their success metrics to the impact they have on the world around them (about time, they thought!)

 

But there was a missing piece to these admirable goals: Metrics and Accountability. How could these organizations quantify their sustainability, environmental, social, and governance (ESG) goals and measure their progress towards said goals? From these needs, FigBytes was born. Their cloud-based platform allows customers to embed their ESG objectives and metrics into their performance, strategy and brand. They transform data into real-time storytelling, removing data complexity so customers can focus on what truly matters - meeting their ESG goals.

 

Since environmental sustainability is both impacting and impacted by just about everyone, FigBytes serves a large and diverse market. Their priority segments include consumer goods, hotels/resorts, financial services, technology, oil & gas, and government entities such as states and municipalities. With clients such as the State of Minnesota, AECOM, City of Phoenix, University of Alberta, McDermott, Ford, TongaatHulett, and more, FigBytes stands on solid ground to arm global entities with the means to achieve mission-critical ESG objectives.

How Will I Make An Impact?

 

We’re looking for a startup Finance leader to join this fast-expanding team. You'll work closely with the leadership team and help them navigate the day to day and longer term strategies.

 

Reporting directly to the CEO, you’ll join a company that is just starting to rapidly scale-up and is at a very exciting time of growth. As Manager of the Finance function, you’re a motivated self-starter, prepared to get hands-on to manage accounting, budgeting and finance strategy as we endeavour to build a world-renowned company. You’ll be Finance employee #1, leveraging an outsourced finance partner (fractional CFO, controller and bookkeeper) which means the sky's the limit for the person with a “can-do” attitude who is excited about the fun and scrappiness of a technology start-up in hyper-growth mode.

 

FigBytes has raised an impressive seed round and will continue to grow with VC funding as time goes on, so you'll oversee budgeting, Saas accounting, A/P, and monthly reporting.  As the team grows you'll also develop and implement sales compensation plans and Saas metrics.

​

As a member of the Administration team, you’ll direct the planning and implementation of policies, practices, and initiatives related to Financial Management, Budgeting, Processes and Systems.

​

How Do I Know If This Is For Me?

​

You thrive in an entrepreneurial environment, loving the thrill of growth and potential, but also aware of the challenges that come with growth.

​

You want to be part of a really big mission, working with a passionate and ambitious team and high profile customers.

 

You've developed and implemented financial strategies, policies and procedures from scratch, and you’re ready to do it again!

 

You thrive when you get to wrap your head around business priorities, context, challenges and opportunities and recommend and implement business solutions that drive performance and achieve results.

 

You enjoy partnering with management teams to understand key performance issues, objectives, drivers, and their implications for people and organizational strategies. 

 

You know that high-growth startups can be demanding (and fun), and require a flexible work schedule. You’re ready to launch your career in a mission-driven organization where the sky's the limit and your career growth is in your hands!

​

Our Ideal Candidate Looks Like:

​
