Full Job Description

Few people get to build a bank from scratch. Even fewer get to build one at a moment when banking itself is being reinvented. The dollar is the best product in the history of the world, with practically infinite global demand, but distribution is broken. Global clearing runs on legacy banks that are closed 115 days a year, built for humans and take two days to settle. Augustus is the update to the internet era. We received conditional approval from the OCC to charter America’s first stablecoin-native clearing bank that is always open, made for machines, at the speed of compute. We are a group of operators, unicorn early employees, ex-founders and people who walked away from degrees because they believe this is an industry and career defining opportunity. We're backed with $40M from Peter Thiel’s Valar Ventures, Creandum and founders of Ramp, Deel and Circle. We are regulated in Europe and live with Euro and Stablecoin clearing today. Now, we are building the US team from the ground up, while continuing to grow rapidly in Europe. THE ROLE Augustus is building a bank from the ground up. The finance team is at the very core of the bank's operations: capital structure, regulatory filings, product economics, and business development all run through this team. You will have full ownership over the day-to-day of the finance function: AP, payroll, cash/P&L forecasting, and budgeting. Your mission goes beyond day-to-day tasks. You will fundamentally change how finance departments operate. From Day 1, you will partner with Product and Engineering to build automated workflows and processes. You will be the second person on the ground, after the CFO. This is an early career role with real responsibility - the kind that doesn't come with a queue of people above you. YOUR FIRST SIX MONTHS - Months 1-2: You take over all core operations: End-to-end AP, payroll administration through the PEO, corporate cards and expense policy, daily cash positioning across US and European accounts
