We're looking for someone with both strong financial expertise and a deep commitment to building transparent, scalable organizations. Here's what we expect:

• Financial Excellence: You have significant experience in B2B SaaS startups, with a deep understanding of French accounting and tax regulations. You've built financial processes from the ground up, and your experience includes both equity and non-dilutive fundraising.

• Business Acumen: Beyond pure finance, you understand B2B SaaS metrics and what drives business value. You have experience with pricing strategies, unit economics, and translating business objectives into financial planning.

• Legal & Corporate: You have a solid understanding of French corporate law and governance. You're experienced in managing legal matters in a high-growth environment and comfortable working with external counsel.

• Ownership Mindset: You thrive in environments where ownership is distributed and initiative is valued over hierarchy. You're comfortable making decisions with imperfect information and taking responsibility for outcomes. You believe in empowering teams through transparency rather than controlling through process.

• Communication Master: Written communication is at the heart of our culture, and you excel at it. You can make complex financial concepts accessible to non-finance stakeholders and practice radical transparency in your communications. You build trust through clear, thoughtful documentation and embrace async-first collaboration.

• Strategic & Hands-on: You combine big-picture thinking with a willingness to dive into the details. You're equally comfortable building financial models and optimizing day-to-day operations. You know when to delegate and when to roll up your sleeves, always keeping our mission and values in mind.

• Growth Mindset: You're passionate about continuous learning and developing others. You see challenges as opportunities for growth and actively seek feedback. You have experience mentoring team members and creating learning opportunities.

• Tech Savvy: While not technical, you're comfortable with modern tools and excited about using technology to automate and scale operations. You have a track record of selecting and implementing tools that drive efficiency.

Apply by answering a few written questions about your vision and expertise. Use your own words - we value authentic communication.

If your profile catches our attention, here's what to expect:

• Screening Interview: A first conversation to understand your background and motivations. We'll discuss your experience with transparent organizations and distributed ownership, and how you approach building scalable finance and corporate operations.

• Take-home Exercise: A practical challenge combining financial modeling and strategic thinking. We assess both technical skills and communication clarity, with emphasis on documentation and transparency.

• Leadership Discussion: A deeper conversation about scaling finance and corporate operations with key stakeholders. We'll explore your vision for the role and discuss concrete collaboration scenarios.

• Final Conversation: A discussion with cofounders about vision, values, and culture. We'll align on expectations and explore how you see the future of finance and corporate functions at Didask.

Didask is transitioning to English as our internal working language in 2025. Professional proficiency in English is required. Speaking French is optional. The team will make sure you never feel excluded if you don't.

Unless specified otherwise, all our positions are remote-first. At the moment, we can only accept candidates who are French fiscal residents. You can work from anywhere in a timezone close to ours, as long as you have good working conditions (including a good Internet connection for fluid videoconferencing).
