Engineering Structures Journal Jobs in Oregon Wisconsin

This role owns the financial operations of the business and supports sales execution so momentum, cash flow, and client confidence are never constrained by the founder.

You operate as a trusted proxy for the founder, with real authority over financial execution, revenue operations, and client follow-through. If it touches money, forecasting, invoicing, payroll, or sales follow-up, you own it.

This is a role for someone who brings judgment, professionalism, and calm authority, not someone waiting for direction.

Primary Responsibilities:

1. Financial Ownership & P&L Visibility (Primary)

You fully own day-to-day financial operations and clarity, including:

• End-to-end ownership of P&L accuracy and visibility
• Payroll execution and review
• Accounts payable and vendor payments
• Invoicing, accounts receivable, and payment follow-up
• Credit card and expense reconciliation
• Management of the accounting inbox and all financial communications
• Reducing outsourced accounting work by 80%+ through internal ownership
• Designing and enforcing clean, repeatable client onboarding and invoicing processes
• PO creation and follow-up to ensure engineering work starts without delay

The founder does not monitor QuickBooks, AR/AP, payroll, or invoice status.

2. Project Accounting, Forecasting & Cash Control

You ensure financial reality is always visible, current, and actionable.

This includes:

• Project-level financial tracking
• Revenue and cash flow forecasting
• Clear visibility into:
• When revenue is expected
• When cash is received
• Where timing, scope, or margin is drifting
• Surfacing risk early—before it becomes disruptive
• Providing clean inputs to support hiring, spending, and delivery decisions

This role exists to keep the business on offense, not reacting late.

3. Sales Execution Support & Revenue Operations

You support sales by ensuring nothing stalls due to lack of follow-up, organization, or discipline.

This includes:

• Owning inbound lead follow-up from website and HubSpot
• Prompt, professional calling and emailing of warm leads
• Ensuring every lead and deal has a clear next action
• Booking meetings without founder coordination
• Maintaining CRM discipline with zero stale deals
• Supporting phone and inbox management related to sales follow-up
• Coordinating with marketing, HubSpot workflows, and WordPress as needed

You are not the closer.

You ensure closers stay focused, prepared, and unblocked.

4. Client Experience & Professional Representation (Non-Negotiable)

You own the client journey from first contact through billing and project kickoff.

This includes:

• Managing onboarding from PO through project start
• Sending and tracking W-9s, ACH/wire details, intake forms, and onboarding materials
• Setting clear expectations around billing, milestones, and payment timing
• Acting as the primary point of contact for billing clarity and follow-through
• Ensuring a clean handoff from Sales to Engineering and Operations

This is a client-facing role.

Professionalism, clarity, confidence, and consistency are required.

Clients should consistently feel:

• Trust
• Control
• Competence

Every interaction matters.

Tools & Systems

• QuickBooks (P&L, invoicing, AP/AR, project accounting)
• HubSpot (CRM, pipelines, dashboards, follow-ups)
• Microsoft 365 (Outlook, Teams, OneDrive)
• ADP (Payroll – training provided)
• Calendly
• AI tools including ChatGPT, , Fireflies, and Zapier

Required Experience & Profile

This role is for someone with ownership-level experience, not support-only exposure.

Required:

• 2–10 years of experience in one or more of:
• Finance Operations
• Revenue Operations
• Accounting or Controller support
• Client Operations
• Sales Operations
• Experience working closely with a founder or senior executive
• Proven comfort owning money, follow-up, and decisions
• Hands-on experience with:
• Invoicing, AR, and AP
• Financial operations and reporting
• CRM systems (HubSpot preferred)
• Strong written and verbal communication
• Calm, professional presence in client and vendor conversations
• Ability to exercise judgment without constant escalation

Preferred:

• Degree in Business, Finance, Accounting, Operations, or related field
• Experience in manufacturing, engineering, or project-based businesses
• Experience representing a company in financial or client-facing discussions

What This Role Is Not

• Not an administrative-only role
• Not calendar management as a primary function
• Not a “wait for instructions” position

This role requires ownership, discretion, and polish.

Success Looks Like

• The founder trusts the numbers without hesitation
• Financial risk is visible early
• Clients experience clean, professional follow-through
• Sales momentum is supported without founder involvement
• The business runs cleaner, calmer, and faster
