ABOUT THE ROLE
We believe the combination of senior finance judgment and advanced AI fluency is what finance needs going forward, and we are choosing to build that combination in-house rather than search for a rare, expensive hire who already has both. That is why this role is built for a top-tier early-career professional, not a seasoned finance veteran. You will work in close partnership with the CEO, supported by a Freelance CFO who provides periodic review and strategic finance guidance, giving you senior-level finance judgment on tap while you build. In short, we are not hiring someone who already knows how to run finance the old way. We are hiring someone who can build how finance should run here, with AI as a core part of the process from day one.

REQUIREMENTS
Education
- GPA 3.5+ preferred, in a Finance and Accounting education background
- GPA 3.3 to 3.5 may be considered with strong justification, such as a notoriously rigorous major, outstanding achievements, or a standout portfolio
Experience
- Internship or work experience of up to 2 years at an accounting firm, consulting firm, finance startup, or corporate finance function. Fresh graduates are welcome
Organizational Leadership
- Leadership, coordination, or at minimum initiative ownership experience within a campus organization, committee, community, or other relevant setting, supported by a portfolio or tangible proof of execution
- Able to clearly articulate the concrete impact of that initiative, not just a list of titles
AI & Technical Fluency
- Proficient with Claude Code (or similar AI coding tools) at an advanced level, comfortable building real systems and tools, not just code snippets
- Comfortable in a command-line or technical environment, and continuously learning new tools
- Proficient in advanced spreadsheets. Exposure to SQL or no-code tools is a plus
YOU'LL THRIVE HERE IF YOU
- Are driven by impact, not just tasks. You measure success by the dent your systems make on real people
- Are a builder at heart. A messy problem with no existing system energizes you, not overwhelms you
- Are ambitious and want exposure from day one. You want to be in the room where decisions get made
- Want a mentor, not just a manager. You see direct CEO mentorship as the compressed learning curve you are after
- Adapt fast and do not get attached to how it is done. Tools and priorities shifting excites rather than stresses you
- Let feedback and mistakes fuel you, not faze you. This could be better makes you curious, not defensive
- Are energized by senior leaders, not intimidated. You see direct access to the CEO as the opportunity you have been waiting for
- Feel a calling toward education, human capital, or SME development in Indonesia. The mission matters beyond the paycheck

- A clear path to a leadership role (Finance & Systems Lead) within 12 to 24 months for high performers
- Competitive compensation, based on qualifications, GPA, and assessment results
