VP Finance

Finance & Legal at Nabla

Finance and Legal at Nabla sits at the centre of every major decision the company makes. As VP Finance, you'll be the CFO's right hand — owning financial operations end‑to‑end while touching Legal, HR, and Admin. This is a senior cross‑functional role that operates at the intersection of Finance, Strategy, and People, and a rare opportunity to work in close proximity to the CFO with a clear path to become one.

Your Team

You'll report directly to the CFO and work closely with executives across Finance, HR, Legal, and Operations, and partner with Sales, Customer Success, and the Board on strategic topics.

What you'll do

FP&A & Accounting

• Manage the FP&A and Accounting teams
  • Own the review of the accounting function: month‑end close, statutory reporting, audit coordination, and compliance with French and US GAAP requirements
  • Review and challenge with FP&A team the company's financial model, forecast, and budget; track actuals vs. plan and deliver actionable insight to leadership
• Participate in board and investor reporting — be the guardian of Nabla's financial information and a trusted, credible voice with investors and the Board
• Manage cash flow management, working capital optimization, and treasury oversight

Business partnering

• Participate in Nabla's pricing strategy: structure pricing frameworks, lead pricing discussions with the Sales team, and support negotiations with key customers
• Help design and manage incentive plans for Sales and Customer Success — aligning compensation structures with business objectives

People & Equity

• Partner with the People team on salary benchmarking, compensation decisions, and headcount planning
• Oversee equity management end to end, including BSPCE, BSA, and secondary transactions
• Advise employees and leadership on equity mechanics, tax implications, and liquidity events

Legal & Admin oversight

• Supervise day‑to‑day legal and administrative operations, coordinating with legal counsel as needed
• Review vendor contracts, partnership agreements, and operational documentation, in connection with the Head of Procurement and the Sales teams
• Ensure compliance with applicable French corporate, employment, and financial regulations

The impact

• Nabla has raised significant capital to date and is on a strong growth trajectory — you'll own the financial backbone of that story
• Every commercial agreement, vendor contract, and strategic partnership that powers our 10 billion tokens/month of LLM processing runs through this function
• You'll work hand‑in‑hand with the CFO and have a clear path to step into that role — directly enabling the clinical impact we have for hundreds of thousands of healthcare professionals each week

Your DNA

• Business school graduate (top‑tier Grande École or equivalent)
• 5 years in Audit or Transaction Services at a top‑tier firm — you have an exceptional technical accounting and finance foundation
• 2–5 years in‑house at a VC‑backed startup as Head of Finance or equivalent — you've juggled accounting, FP&A, legal, HR, and admin simultaneously
• Strong business mindset: comfortable discussing pricing strategy and sales incentives as much as reviewing a balance sheet
• Good knowledge of French corporate law, equity instruments (BSPCE, BSA), and governance best practices
• Exceptional communicator, able to distill complex financial and operational concepts for diverse audiences including the Board, employees, and external partners
• High degree of integrity, discretion, and sound commercial judgment: you are a trusted enabler, not a blocker
