Corporate Finance Manager

About the role

This role is a high-ownership, high-visibility seat serving as a true thought partner to the Head of Finance on Anrok's most consequential financial decisions. You will turn complex financial data into a clear board-ready narrative that explains where the business is headed and why. The position involves owning Anrok's integrated corporate model, which connects revenue, cost, headcount, and cash flow into a single planning framework. You will own the end-to-end financial planning process, partnering with Accounting and business leaders to analyze budget versus actuals, resolve discrepancies, and enable rapid course correction. This is an opportunity to build the function and shape the financial systems and narratives that drive how Anrok scales, rather than merely maintaining an existing model. You will work across every department to understand how go-to-market efficiency and product cost structures impact the entire business. The ideal candidate is energized by building a finance organization from the ground up in an early-stage environment that moves at a fast pace.
