About the role
VP of Finance Why Patch, why now Patch exists to rebalance the planet by making environmental commodities easier to understand, trust, and buy at scale. We route hundreds of millions of dollars through carbon, sustainable aviation fuel, renewable energy, and renewable natural gas. These are scaling markets with settlement and money moving across roughly ten currencies, which means the finance function here is part of the product, not a back office that reports on one. We are an AI-native services firm. Our embedded climate strategists deliver outcomes for enterprise customers, our platform makes each strategist dramatically more productive and each new market cheaper to enter, and every engagement generates structured data that makes the next engagement faster. We have raised $85M to date across offices in San Francisco, London & Singapore. The next chapter is a private credit and debt facility to finance inventory and working capital, an acquisition program across adjacent services and data businesses, and the equity raise that funds both. This is the seat that runs all three.
About
the role You will own finance and legal end to end and act as the closest operating partner to the CEO & Founder. The scope covers FP&A, treasury, and financial operations across multiple entities and currencies. It covers our legal and regulatory posture across the US, UK, and EU, including commercial contracting, corporate governance, and the outside counsel relationships that support both. Three reasons this role is worth your next five years: The problem is hard. You are working across multiple currencies and entities with a mix of software revenue, services revenue, and commodity transactions that settle physically. The technical finance work rivals the best desks in the market, and there is no playbook to copy. AI changes what one finance team can do. You get to design the function from scratch, native to how AI actually works, and operate at the depth of a team three times the size. If you have wanted to build a modern finance org rather than inherit one, this is that. We sit at the intersection of two capital cycles. The energy transition is one of the major secular shifts behind the AI capex buildout. Every hyperscaler datacenter is a new energy and environmental commodity buyer, and the market underneath them is still being wired together. Patch intends to operate that infrastructure.
