Head of Finance (m/f/d)

About the Position

At Superchat, we're rebuilding how businesses talk to their customers. The phone call, the contact form, the support ticket: all of it is being replaced by messaging and AI. We're building the platform that runs underneath.

Founded in 2020, Superchat has become the platform of choice for 10,000+ businesses worldwide, from globally recognized brands like Allianz, Auto1, Enpal, Danone, and GASAG to the small businesses, dental practices, and one-person startups that need to look bigger than they are. Today, millions of messages flow through Superchat every single day.

We're 100 people, profitable, and have raised €18M in funding (last round 4.5 years ago, we've been growing on our own money since). Headquartered in Berlin.

In this role you own all of finance at Superchat end to end and report directly to the founders. When the board or our investors have a question about the numbers, you're the one who answers it.

You'll take over our financial model and turn it into something the whole company can steer by. You'll own accounting through to the P&L, run forecasting and liquidity planning, and lead the annual audit.

• You evaluate business cases for new products, markets and pricing models, and act as a sparring partner to the founders on strategic decisions

KPIs & Business Partnering (~20%)

• You sit in the business reviews, translate numbers into concrete recommendations, and follow up on execution
• You deliver month-end variance analysis and management reporting as a clear, action-oriented narrative rather than a data dump
• You analyse revenue, margin and cost development at customer, product and channel level

Funding & Investor Relations (~20%)

• You build and continuously maintain our data room so we're due-diligence-ready at any time
• You lead the financial due diligence on our side and support the next funding round end to end
