Finance Lead

At Flexion, we're building the intelligence layer powering the next generation of humanoid robots.

Our mission is to accelerate the transition from fragile prototypes to real‑world humanoid deployment.

We are founded by leading scientists in robot reinforcement learning (ex‑Nvidia, ex‑ETH Zürich), and backed by leading international VC firms.

In just months, we’ve gone from our first line of code to deploying real humanoid capabilities.

As our Finance Lead, you'll own the financial backbone of a fast‑scaling robotics company.

Reporting to our Head of Global Operations, you'll lead FP&A across our global entities and build the models, reporting and financial controls to enable strategic decisions.

This is a hands‑on, high‑ownership individual contributor role where you will drive monthly close, cash‑flow forecasting, audits, and more!

Key Responsibilities

• Strong financial modelling and analysis skills. You can build driver‑based models from scratch and are highly proficient in Excel and Google Sheets.
• A solid grasp of Swiss accounting, tax and payroll requirements, and comfort operating across multiple entities and currencies.
