About Avoma

The Opportunity
We’re looking for a hands-on Head of Finance & People Operations (Director-level) to own our financial foundation and people operations as we scale efficiently toward our next phase of growth.
This is a foundational leadership role reporting directly to the CEO.
You'll be the person ensuring we make every dollar count while building a world-class culture. You'll balance the rigor of financial planning with the empathy of people operations – two sides of the same coin when building efficiently.
What You'll Own
Finance (60%)
Manage all financial operations: accounting, bookkeeping, payroll (India + US), accounts payable/receivable
Own financial planning, budgeting, and monthly/quarterly board reporting
Build and monitor unit economics, CAC payback, burn rate, and runway projections
Lead fundraising preparation (financial models, data room, investor metrics)
Oversee vendor relationships, contracts, and spend management
Manage banking relationships, cash management, and foreign exchange
Ensure compliance across India and US operations (tax, regulatory, audit)
Partner with Revenue Operations on pricing, packaging, and revenue recognition
People Operations (40%)
Design and implement scalable people systems for a cross-border team
Own full employee lifecycle: recruiting coordination, onboarding, offboarding
Manage equity administration, HRIS, and benefits programs (India + US)
Build compensation frameworks and conduct benchmarking
Develop performance management processes and promotion frameworks
Ensure compliance with employment law across geographies
Foster culture and engagement in a distributed environment
Partner with leadership on organizational design and headcount planning
What Success Looks Like
First 90 days:
Clean financials with clear visibility into burn, runway, and key metrics
Financial model that leadership trusts for decision-making
Streamlined monthly close process (India + US consolidated)
Documented people processes (hiring, onboarding, compensation)
Strong grasp of unit economics and growth levers
First year:
Extended runway through efficient growth (improved CAC payback, net retention)
Scalable people infrastructure supporting 50% headcount growth
Who You Are
Required:
7-12 years of experience with at least 4 years in SaaS startups
Proven experience managing finance across Series B growth stage
Track record building people operations in high-growth, global environments
Deep understanding of SaaS metrics (ARR, NDR, CAC, LTV, Rule of 40)
Experience with cross-border operations (India/US strongly preferred)
Hands-on operator comfortable with both strategy and execution
MBA or CA/CPA preferred but not required
Ideal background:
Finance or people lead at a Series A/B/C SaaS company
Familiarity with AI/ML business models
Built global operational systems from scratch
You thrive when:
Wearing multiple hats and context-switching between finance and people
Translating financial data into strategic recommendations
Balancing employee advocacy with financial discipline
Working autonomously with minimal direction
