Monava turn sound into intelligent action on the battlefield. Our patented technology replaces radar with microphones to detect flying drones: passive and undetectable, energy-efficient and cost-effective.
We are a highly motivated team of 16+ FTEs spread across Gothenburg, Stockholm, Helsinki and Kyiv, wich is now entering a unique growth phase we have a revenue from paying customers of above EUR 4M, are well funded and have systems live on the battlefield today where it matters.
As Head of Finance you own the financial agenda end-to-end. This is our first dedicated finance hire, and you will build the function from the ground up: planning and forecasting, cash and working capital, business modelling, and the reporting that the management team, the board and our investors run the company on.
You work closely with the CEO and are the finance counterpart to the board. The role is deliberately broad and hands-on: one week you build the operating model for a new market, the next you are securing payment terms in a framework agreement and preparing the board pack. Accounting, tax and payroll are outsourced, so your time goes into forward-looking finance rather than bookkeeping - but you own the relationship and the quality of what comes out of it. The same applies to legal and HR, which you drive together with the CEO through external expertise.
Our customers work with long decision processes and contracts that pay out over time, while we scale the team and the business at pace. Balancing growth speed against cash is at the core of the role.
The position is based in Gothenburg.
Build and maintain the financial model: revenue, headcount, hardware costs, unit economics and scenarios
With the CEO, own HR administration: employment terms, payroll, benefits, warrant programme
You are commercially minded, structured and comfortable making decisions on incomplete information. You combine hands-on execution with strategic thinking, and you are equally at home in the model and in the room where the decision is made. The role requires independence, high integrity and the ability to build long-term trust with the board, investors and external partners.
At least 5 years of relevant experience from management consulting, transaction services, a startup or scale-up, or another financial leadership role
