About the Role
This VP role is on a small, high-ownership team focused on operating finance within Emergence Automotive. You will work directly with portfolio company CEOs and leadership teams to understand performance, improve decision-making, allocate capital, and build stronger software businesses. M&A is also a significant part of the role due to the company's high acquisition velocity.
Responsibilities
- Own the strategic finance cadence across the automotive portfolio, including forecasting, performance management, KPI reporting, operating reviews, and CEO-level decision support.
- Build operating models that go well beyond a budget, including scenario planning, retention and cohort economics, cash and working capital, unit economics, return frameworks, and capital allocation decisions.
- Partner directly with portfolio company leadership teams to turn analysis into operating recommendations, what to change, where to focus, and what needs to be true for the plan to work.
- Lead and support M&A work across the vertical, including acquisition modeling, diligence, synergy analysis, integration planning, financing considerations, and the value-creation roadmap after close.
- Build board- and investor-quality materials, help set finance standards across the portfolio, and raise the bar for analysts and teammates through direct feedback, crisp writing, and strong modeling discipline.
Requirements
- Strong financial modeling ability and comfort owning operating models end to end.
- Experience with acquisition, merger, or mergerco models is a strong plus.
- Ability to lead a room, work directly with senior stakeholders, move quickly without heavy process, and connect analysis to real decisions.
- Ability to bring structure without bureaucracy, intensity without ego, and a clear recommendation when the answer is not obvious.
- Comfortable being in the room, defending your view, changing your mind when the facts change, and turning ambiguous problems into clean analysis and clear next steps.
