We care deeply about open source software, and our organizational structure has minimal hierarchy and no fixed work hours. We believe in working with a high degree of autonomy while supporting the organization's priorities.

The finance team powering Status is small and lean, currently two people and a network of outsourced vendors in various global locations. This newly-created finance manager role will be a key part of our finance operation, bringing a valuable hybrid of financial controller and FP&A skills to the team.

As this is a small organization with a broad financial remit, we’re looking for an all-rounder who’s excited to get involved in diverse projects and tasks. Working alongside the Head of Finance and providing management reports to our founders, this role offers scope to make a big impact in the organization from day one.

Financial controller activities, including:

  • Prepare, analyze and control Status’s financial data.
  • Establish and execute internal controls over Status’s accounting and financial procedures.
  • Support the tax, accounting and book closing functions and operations.
  • Support preparation of company documents
  • Manage compliance and audit processes, evaluating and managing risks.


FP&A activities, including:

  • Preparation of budgets, forecasts and financial plans.
  • Develop robust financial models.
  • Create recommendations to support strategic decision-making
  • Assist in the capital budgeting and expenditure planning process.


You ideally will have:

[Don’t worry if you don’t meet all of these criteria, we’d still love to hear from you anyway if you think you’d be a great fit for this role!]

  • A strong alignment to our principles: https://status.im/about/#our-principles
  • An academic qualification in business administration, finance, or accounting
  • Experience in finance, specifically FP&A
  • A sound knowledge of accounting fundamentals
  • Advanced proficiency in Excel.


Bonus points if you have:

  • Experience working remotely and/or at a tech startup (if you also love crypto as much as we do, we’d love to hear from you!)
  • Auditing experience
  • Excellent financial modelling skills, even better if you can code
  • Compliance awareness and experience
  • Experience using modelling and accounting software
  • German language skills.


Compensation:

The anticipated salary range for this role is $70,000 - $90,000 USD (paid in local currency, or crypto, and dependent on experience & location), plus a grant of Status Network Tokens vesting over a three-year period. More info on SNT here here: https://status.im/snt-utility/.


Hiring process:

The hiring process for this role will be:

  • Interview with a member of our People Ops team
  • Interview with Daniel, our Head of Finance
  • Interview with Carl, one of our founders
  • A small, paid, work challenge so that we can get a feel for your work and how we’d collaborate (the task should take no more than 6 hours) - if you have relevant work samples you’d prefer to send us, that works too.
  • The steps may change along the way if we see it makes sense to adapt the interview stages, so please consider the above as a guideline. We’re looking for the new finance hire (you?) to join the team as soon as possible, and we’re hoping to close the hiring process ideally by the end of June 2020.
