VP of Finance

Company Description

Today, when you go to your doctor and need to be referred to a specialist (e.g., for sleep apnea), your doctor sends a fax (yes, in 2024, 90% of provider-provider communication is a 1980s fax). These are often converted into 20+ page PDFs, with handwritten (doctor’s handwriting!) notes, in thousands of different formats. The problem is so complex that a person has to read it, type it up, and manually enter your information. Tennr built RaeLLM™ (7B—trained on 3M+ documents) to read these docs, talk to your doc to ensure nothing is missed, and text you to help schedule your appointment so you can get better, faster.

Tennr is a NYC-based tech company that launched out of Y-Combinator and is backed by Andreesen Horowitz, Lightspeed Venture Partners, Foundation Capital, The New Normal Fund, and other top investors.

Role Description

As VP of Finance at Tennr, you’ll build and lead our finance function as we scale from Series B to Series C and beyond. Reporting to the CEO and working closely with the leadership team, you’ll own financial planning, reporting, and strategic decision-making to ensure operational discipline and scalability. You’ll lead FP&A — managing budgets, forecasts, and scenario models — while driving key decisions on pricing, org design, and capital strategy. You’ll also prepare board materials, support fundraising, and oversee investor-facing finance. Early on, you’ll be hands-on with modeling and reporting while laying the foundation for a high-performing team and scalable systems across accounting, billing, and spend management.

Responsibilities

Build & scale finance operations: Define and optimize processes across accounting, billing, spend management, and systems. Ensure we have the right tooling and controls in place as we grow.

Act as a strategic partner to leadership: Provide financial thought partnership across the business (e.g. pricing, org design, GTM investments, and capital planning)

Own all FP&A: Lead budgeting, forecasting, scenario planning, and financial modeling. Be our go-to on everything from runway management to growth trade-offs.

Lead investor and board-facing finance: Prepare materials, deliver updates, and support fundraising, diligence, and ongoing investor relations.

Build the team: Hire and lead a high-performing finance org as the company scales, starting hands-on and evolving into leadership.
