Full Job Description

Electricity grids are undergoing the most significant transformation in a century. The shift to renewables, the proliferation of rooftop solar, batteries and EVs, and the increasing complexity of distribution networks are forcing utilities to operate their grids in fundamentally new ways. Gridsight's vertical SaaS platform uses data, ML and AI to help grid operators modernise their operations and unlock transformational new capabilities. We deliver visibility into the grid edge, faster renewable connections, and real-time orchestration of distributed energy. The opportunity is enormous ($1B+ ARR).

We're embedded with over 50% of Australia's distribution networks, more than 30% in New Zealand, and have 1 of the top 5 utilities in the US as our lighthouse. Airtree led our Series A, we grew ARR 3.4x in the past 6 months, we just closed our Series B led by a major US fund, and we're on the path to build the first truly generational utility software company.

We are a team of builders. What unites us is that we’re curious, hungry and obsessed with maximising the impact we can deliver to Gridsight and the energy transition. If that sounds like you, come join us!

The role

Reporting to the VP of Operations, you will own the integrity, reliability and scalability of GridSight’s finance function. You will run the accounting engine end to end and build the systems and controls that allow us to scale across entities and jurisdictions with confidence.

This is a hands-on builder’s role. You will keep the numbers accurate, timely and explainable; give leaders clear financial visibility; manage our external partners; and develop the finance capability required for GridSight’s next stage of growth.

Your mandate
Financial control and reporting: make the numbers trustworthy

Own month-end and year-end close, consolidations, reconciliations and management reporting across all entities.
Maintain the integrity of the general ledger, balance sheet and financial statements, with clear documentation and audit trails.
Establish and apply accounting policies for revenue recognition, capitalisation and other material judgements.
Produce accurate, decision-useful reporting for the VP of Operations, executive team, Board and investors.

Finance operations, cash and compliance: make the engine run

Own accounts payable, accounts receivable, billing, collections, payroll, expenses, banking and treasury.
Maintain clear visibility of cash, working capital and runway, ensuring funds are available in the right entities and currencies.
Ensure tax, statutory, payroll and regulatory obligations are met across every jurisdiction in which we operate.
Lead audit preparation and manage auditors, tax advisers, banks, payroll providers and other external partners.
Coordinate transfer pricing, the R&D Tax Incentive and other stage-relevant compliance requirements.

Systems, controls and scale: build the finance infrastructure

Design practical controls, approval frameworks and operating rhythms that reduce risk without creating unnecessary bureaucracy.
Own the finance systems roadmap and build a reliable source of truth across accounting, billing, payroll, expenses and reporting.
Automate repetitive work and use modern tools, including AI where useful, to improve speed, accuracy and control.
Document core processes and remove key-person dependencies so finance can scale without headcount growing linearly.

Decision support and leadership: turn numbers into action

Partner with the VP of Operations on budgeting, forecasting, Board reporting, fundraising support and scenario planning.
Work with functional leaders to create accountable budgets, explain performance and improve financial decision-making.
Translate financial results into clear insights, risks and recommended actions rather than simply reporting the numbers.
Lead and develop the internal finance team and outsourced partners as the function grows.

What success looks like

The monthly close is fast, accurate and repeatable, and leaders trust the numbers.
Cash, runway and material variances are visible early enough to act on them.
Audits, tax filings and statutory obligations are completed on time with no surprises.
Controls and systems are fit for our stage, protect the business and scale without slowing it down.
Functional leaders understand their financial performance and take ownership of their budgets.
The finance function is lean, well documented and ready for GridSight’s next stage of growth.

What you bring

CA, CPA or equivalent qualification, with strong technical accounting judgement.
Experience owning a full accounting function, including close, reporting, audit, tax and operational finance.
Experience in a high-growth technology business, ideally with multi-entity, multi-currency and international operations.
A practical understanding of SaaS, enterprise software or other complex contract-based revenue models.
A builder’s mindset: you have improved systems, controls and processes rather than only operated mature ones.
Strong commercial judgement and the ability to explain financial issues clearly to non-finance leaders.
A high-ownership, low-ego working style and willingness to move between detailed execution and broader business partnership.
Big 4 or mid-tier audit experience, an ERP implementation, or experience supporting a fundraise is valuable but not essential.
