Vice President, Strategic Finance

This role is based in Miami and requires in-office 2-3 times per week, with regular travel expected to San Francisco, and elsewhere across the US, to be onsite with teams.

Working with Atomic’s funds, you will monitor our portfolio companies’ performance, including financial and operating metrics, drawing attention to areas that need focus and working with partners and portfolio companies to take action.
