Head of Finance

So, who are we?

Responsibly is a fast-growing and VC-backed start-up operating at the cutting edge of AI and sustainability, and with a vision of making every purchase in the world responsible.

We're founded by serial entrepreneurs with previous successes like Ofload, Dixa, Neurons, and more, and are funded by some of Europe's top VCs and angels.

We’re at the most exciting part of our journey (yet!) where the product is being picked up by some of the biggest companies out there. The growth journey ahead is exciting, and ahead of Series A, we're ready to strengthen our financial and planning foundation by hiring in the first ever Head of Finance.

Let’s change the world together

Look, you probably already know that there are not many bigger problems out there than the climate, but did you know that more than 40% of global emissions, or really any ESG issue, are directly or indirectly impacted by procurement? That’s because companies have an incredible amount of power (‘purchasing power’) when selecting and managing suppliers, so if we can put sustainability on every supplier scorecard out there, we really can change the world.

But it’s hard! A company will have anywhere from 100 - 100,000 suppliers and analyzing each of their sustainability efforts is an impossible task, and most ESG ratings suck.

That’s what we’re trying to change. Responsibly's ai-powered due diligence engine automates the due diligence on every supplier across every single esg data point on your suppliers (from risk and violations to positive actions), and turns that into insights to ultimately help companies build more sustainable supply chains.

Pretty cool right?

What you’ll be doing

You're stepping into the CEO's shoes to:

Lead all things money:

• Accounting, payroll, invoices, cashflow, ESOP, and all admin around money coming in and money going out. This is already fairly small, and automated, and mostly outsourced, but you'll take charge of it, analyzing it, and optimizing it so we're ready to scale.


• All internal financial models

Lead reporting and investor relations:

• Investor reporting, P&L and cash flow models, internal reporting. Including supporting different functions on what to report on, and how to do it.


• Board operations - how do we best manage our board meetings, memos, prep, etc.

Lead and support on our internal planning and strategy

• You'll join the leadership team and you'll be one of our CEO's primary sparring partners on strategy, hiring, planning, etc.


• Lead our internal governance and leadership coordination.

Lead fundraising operations for our Series A and beyond:

• Owning the data room


• Owning the planning and investor lists


• join and over time take investor calls

So who do we think is the magician that can do all of that?

1. MBB or similar financial experience in scale-up: you are a high performer and have demonstrated you're excellent with finance, strategy, analytics and generally problem solving.


2. Entrepreneurial experience or ambition: you've either been through the journey before, or you want to, and knows what it takes.


3. Analytical and structured: it goes without saying that excel and modelling is a language you speak fluently. You're super structured and can easily navigate complexity.


4. Attention to detail: You can easily identify the odd number out when looking at a financial report.


5. Growth mindset and ambition: you want to be the best at what you do, love to learn, and thrive in a fast-moving environment


6. High degree of ownership: you take ownership of your work, lead it independently, and attack unfamiliar problems with enthusiasm and a bias for action.


7. Get-sh*t-done attitude: you’re impatient, results-focused, and want to execute and get your hands dirty. You’re motivated by results and progress.


8. Resourcefulness: whatever you’ll need to succeed you’ll find and use; whether in your network, outsourced help, or convincing the CEO to give you more resources.

Your benefits

• Competitive salary & ownership of the company - every full-time person in Responsibly owns a bit of the company, and if you’re a senior applicant where we can’t match market salary, we're ready to consider a considerable ESOP package


• A company and leadership committed to your learning and growth


• Awesome office and culture with amazing lunch right on Island's Brygge


• We love to build an awesome culture and community in our office, but we also offer flexibility when you need it.


• Lots of fun, such as our annual company events or Friday bars

We hope you're as excited as we are about this!

Some practicalities:

• We won't be able to consider fully remote work for this position; on-site in Copenhagen with flexibility
