koppla is building the next-gen collaborative scheduling platform for construction. Our goal is to become the operating system for construction planning.

We are looking for a Head of Finance & Operations in Berlin who wants to help build the company behind that product. This is not a classic finance or back-office role. You will act as the CEO’s right hand, level up our finance function, be a sparring partner to our GTM team, and help prepare and run our next financing round. You will join early enough to shape how koppla operates, scales, and makes decisions.

This role sits at the center of koppla’s next company-building phase. Over the next 12-18 months, we want to move from founder-led operations to a scalable company setup, sharpen our GTM engine, and become ready for our next financing round. You will help build the financial and operational backbone for that journey.

Compensation: €90k-110k + significant equity
Location: Berlin (Hybrid, 3+ days/week in office)

Activities

You will get exposure to the full company-building spectrum: board and investor conversations, fundraising, GTM planning, pricing, SaaS metrics, compliance, reporting, and the operating rhythm of a fast-growing company. For someone early in their career who wants real ownership instead of advisory work, this is a rare opportunity to grow into a central Finance & Operations leadership role while staying hands-on in the details.Take end-to-end ownership of koppla’s finance function, including financial modeling, reporting, and the metrics that run the business.

What you'll be doing:

• Prepare and co-lead the next financing round, including investor materials, data room readiness, and board and investor reporting.
• Build a strong revenue-operations cadence together with the GTM team, including pipeline and forecast accuracy, SaaS metrics (ARR, NRR, CAC, payback), and scenario planning.
• Own accounting and controlling in partnership with external providers, ensuring clean monthly closes, cash visibility, and reliable processes.
• Drive operational excellence across tooling, vendor management, and internal operations, and ensure we remain compliant in an efficient way (e.g. ISO27001, TISAX, GDPR).

Requirements

• You have a degree in Finance, Business, Economics, or a related field.
• You have 2-4+ years of experience in a fast-paced environment such as a startup, consulting, or venture capital, with clear hands-on exposure to finance.
• You are fluent in German and English, and you can communicate clearly with investors, leaders, and external partners.
• You are pragmatic and hands-on, and you enjoy building the basics (modeling, reporting, processes) rather than polishing decks.
• You are highly detail-oriented and reliable, and you take pride in getting the numbers right.
• You are comfortable owning a financial model, building forecasts, and working with SaaS metrics like ARR, NRR, CAC, payback, and pipeline coverage.
• You think in scenarios and trade-offs, and you can turn messy inputs into clear decisions.
• You have strong stakeholder management, and you know when to proactively report back.
• You thrive in ambiguity, move fast across topics (finance, ops, compliance), and take ownership without needing perfect structure.
• You are tech-savvy and interested in automation and tooling to keep operations lean as we scale.

2. Founder Call (mit dem CEO)
3. Case Study/Office Day + Founder Interview (Meet the Founders - Mindset, Strategy, Culture Fit)
