We are looking for a hands-on Finance Lead to take full ownership of the finance function and build it from the ground up. This is not a corporate role. You will be the person running the finance end-to-end, working closely with the founders and CEO, and playing a key role in fundraising and international expansion.

What you will do

You will own all financial activities of the company, including:

Cash & runway management
Maintain clear visibility on cash position, burn, and runway; proactively flag risks and support decision-making
Financial planning & modeling
Own and continuously update the financial model, including scenarios related to clinical trials, US expansion, and fundraising
Accounting & reporting
Oversee external accountants, ensure timely monthly closing, and maintain clean and reliable financials
Investor reporting & fundraising support
Prepare investor updates, board materials, data room content, and support due diligence processes
Operational finance
Improve visibility and control over expenses, invoicing, and internal financial processes
Grants & project tracking
Support financial management and reporting of grants and funded projects
International structure
Support financial operations across our Dutch and US entities, including intercompany flows and setup

This role will take over the majority of finance responsibilities from the founding team.

Who you are

4–8 years of experience in finance (startup, scale-up, Big 4, or VC/PE)
Strong financial modeling skills and high attention to detail
Hands-on and execution-driven — you are comfortable doing the work yourself
Able to operate in a fast-moving, unstructured environment
Strong sense of ownership and responsibility
Clear communicator, able to translate numbers into insights

What we are not looking for

Candidates who rely on large teams or established structures
Purely corporate profiles without startup experience
People who prefer managing rather than building and executing

Why join Amber Implants

Full ownership of the finance function at an early stage
Direct exposure to investors, board, and strategic decisions
Key role in upcoming fundraising and US market expansion
Opportunity to grow into a CFO role as the company scales
Work on technology that improves patient outcomes in spine care

If you are looking for a role with real responsibility, steep learning, and direct impact, we would like to hear from you.
