Ctcae Grading Scale Jobs in Usa

Scribe is at a pivotal point in its growth, and we’re hiring a Director of Finance to help define how the company scales from here. This role will own company-wide planning, forecasting, and play a central role in shaping how we invest, prioritize, and grow as the business doubles in size. You’ll partner closely with our GTM teams to translate growth ambitions into clear financial tradeoffs and outcomes. This role is designed for someone who wants real ownership, real judgment, and the opportunity to build the financial operating rhythm for the next phase of a high-growth B2B SaaS company.

This role sits at the center of how Scribe plans, invests, and scales. As Director of Finance, you’ll own much of the company’s financial planning and analysis muscle, ensuring the business is making clear, disciplined decisions as we rapidly scale.

You’ll be responsible for the full lifecycle of planning — from building the annual operating plan and forecasts to ensuring they remain accurate over time. This means holding teams accountable to performance, driving re‑forecasting when reality diverges from plan, and helping leadership understand the tradeoffs behind their choices. Finance is expected to be the arbiter of truth, and this role plays a central part in making sure the organization is operating from a single, trusted financial view.

This is a hands‑on, high‑ownership role. You’ll work closely with leaders across GTM, Accounting, and Operations to translate strategy into execution, surface risks and opportunities, and force clarity when alignment stalls. While the role does not start with a large team, it carries broad influence, visibility, and responsibility — and offers the opportunity to shape how finance operates as the company scales.

• 
  

• Drive the planning process, including the annual operating plan, rolling forecasts, budgets, and long‑range planning, and hold teams accountable when performance diverges from plan

  
  

• Lead the development and maintenance of financial models to support strategic decision‑making, ensuring alignment with the company’s growth objectives

  
  

• Identify and apply opportunities for AI and automation across finance to improve forecasting accuracy, decision speed, and how insights are delivered to the business

  
  

• Collaborate with cross‑functional teams to translate financial insight into action by surfacing tradeoffs, recommending paths forward, and pushing decisions to be made when ambiguity or misalignment persists

  
  

• Partner closely with Sales, Marketing, and RevOps on revenue forecasting, capacity planning, and unit economics to ensure GTM plans are grounded in financial reality

  
  

• Enhance existing financial processes and systems to streamline operations and improve data accuracy, fostering a culture of accountability and performance; implementing planning tools, systems, and processes as scale demands

  
  

Success in this role looks like better decisions across the company: clearer plans, fewer surprises, stronger alignment, and leadership confident in where and how to invest.

Hybrid (2-3 days a week) out of our San Francisco HQ.

This role is best suited for someone who thrives in ambiguity, takes ownership seriously, and uses financial insight to drive real business outcomes. You don’t just analyze what’s happening — you push the business toward what should happen next.

You’ll be a great fit if:

• 
  

• You have 10+ years of progressive finance experience with a background in FP&A, corporate finance, investment banking, consulting, and/or PE

  
  

• You’ve owned financial planning at a high‑growth company and are comfortable being accountable for keeping plans accurate as the business evolves

  
  

• You’re comfortable taking a point of view in ambiguity — synthesizing messy inputs, setting assumptions, and driving alignment

  
  

• You consistently push beyond reporting to answer the “so what” and influence how the business prioritizes and invests

  
  

• You’re deeply hands‑on and builder‑minded, comfortable building models, processes, and structure from scratch

  
  

• You partner effectively with GTM leaders, understanding how sales, marketing, and revenue dynamics translate into financial outcomes

  
  

• You operate with ownership and bias to action, leading cross‑functional initiatives and communicating complex ideas clearly

  
  

• Experience building and leading teams in fast‑paced startup environments

  
  

If you’re reading this thinking, “that’s exactly how I operate,” we’d love to meet you.

This role isn’t for everyone, and that’s intentional. It will be a great fit for the right person — and frustrating for the wrong one.

This role may not be for you if:

• 
  

• You prefer to focus on reporting and analysis rather than owning outcomes and driving decisions

  
  

• You’re most comfortable staying within a clearly defined “lane” and don’t enjoy stepping across functional “lines”

  
  

• You’re most comfortable operating with a clear playbook and well‑defined processes — much of this role involves building structure where it doesn’t yet exist

  
  

• You like to provide input but are uncomfortable pushing for clarity or forcing decisions when alignment stalls

  
  

• You’re looking for a role with a large team or formal people management from day one; this is a hands‑on, player‑coach role to start

  
  

• You’re uncomfortable with priorities shifting as the business grows and new information emerges

• Close feedback loops between design and production with hardware, firmware, and software teams
• Support prototype builds, pilot runs, and engineering validation cycles
• Partner with executive leadership on scaling strategy and facility expansion

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE — FIRST 12 TO 18 MONTHS

• A stable, repeatable manufacturing line running at consistent throughput
• Production testing infrastructure validating every unit before shipment
• QA processes that significantly reduce field failures and service escalations
• Throughput increased without sacrificing quality
• Operational foundation in place to scale production significantly
• A high-ownership manufacturing team performing at a high level

YOU MIGHT BE A FIT IF

• You enjoy building systems from scratch rather than maintaining existing ones
• You have taken a hardware product from prototype into real production and understand what scaling physical products actually requires
• You move comfortably between strategic planning and hands-on execution — process design, production debugging, test fixture improvement
• You believe great manufacturing leaders belong on the production floor
• You are motivated by ownership and want to directly shape how a company builds and delivers its products
• You are energized by environments where the playbook is still being written
• You take pride in eliminating operational chaos through durable systems, not constant firefighting

You will likely thrive here if you are the type of person who looks at an empty production floor and immediately starts thinking about the systems, processes, and team required to bring it to life.

QUALIFICATIONS

Required:

• 5+ years in manufacturing, production engineering, or industrial engineering
• Experience scaling hardware production in fast-moving environments
• Strong technical understanding of electromechanical systems
• Able to operate across strategy and execution — from system design to shop floor

Strongly Preferred:

• Experience at an early-stage hardware company
• Background designing production test systems for complex hardware
• Familiarity with HVAC or similar electromechanical products
• Experience with MES or manufacturing analytics systems
