Teal has been named to the Inc. 5000 and Deloitte Technology Fast 500 as one of the fastest-growing private companies in the United States (#1 in the Seattle metro area and #9 among U.S. software companies).

The Opportunity
We’re looking for a VP of Finance to build and lead a high-performing finance organization and take a hands-on role in corporate development through Series B and beyond. You will own FP&A, accounting, fundraising, and finance operations, and translate strategy into plans, plans into capital, and capital into outcomes.
This role reports to the Chief Business Officer, works closely with the Chief Executive Officer, and has regular exposure to the Board of Directors.

What You’ll Do:

Financial Strategy & Leadership: Build, lead, and scale the finance and accounting function, driving capital efficiency and long-term financial health. You will own Teal’s financial operating system end-to-end.
FP&A and Modeling: Own the operating model, annual budget, and rolling forecast. Deliver the planning, reporting, and scenario analysis that drive strategic decisions across the company.
Accounting & Compliance: Own the accounting function with internal and outsourced accountants — month-end close, GAAP reporting, ASC 606 revenue recognition, and tax compliance. Ensure accurate, timely reporting while identifying efficiencies across the P&L.
Audit Readiness: Lead Teal through its first full external financial audit. You will stand up the controls, documentation, working papers, and reporting cadence that a public-company-track business requires.
Fundraising & Investor Relations: Partner with the CEO & CBO on fundraising, leading the operating model, data room, and management presentation, managing diligence, and owning the financial narrative for new and existing investors.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Act as the financial voice of the business, partnering with Product, GTM, and Engineering to shape the roadmap around unit economics and the efficiency metrics that drive new business and retention.
Capital Strategy: Evaluate and execute equity, venture debt, and non-dilutive capital options, and support M&A activity, including diligence, valuation, modeling, and integration.
Systems & Operations: Own the finance tech stack — ERP, billing, expense, equity, BI — and the processes (procurement, contracting, order-to-cash) required to scale the business.
Treasury & Cash Management: Own cash, burn, and runway forecasting; manage banking relationships, treasury policy, and covenant compliance on any debt facilities.
Board Reporting: Prepare monthly and quarterly board packages and partner with the CEO & CBO on board meetings, including audit committee formation as the company matures.
Pricing & Unit Economics: Partner with GTM on pricing, deal structure, and contract terms for usage-based connectivity revenue, and own gross margin analysis, including carrier and network costs.
Equity & Global Entities: Oversee the cap table, 409A valuations, and equity administration, and manage multi-entity, international tax, sales tax, and transfer pricing considerations as Teal expands globally.

What We’re Looking For:

Deep Financial Experience: 10+ years of progressive finance experience, including senior leadership at a venture-backed B2B technology company, with technical depth in corporate finance, GAAP, SaaS and usage-based metrics, with the ability to navigate complex financial scenarios.
Fundraising Experience: Proven experience leading venture financing rounds end-to-end, with a track record of successful diligence management and investor relationship building.
Strategic & Tactical Ability: You can define high-level financial strategy while remaining hands-on enough to dive into models, billing configurations, and contract reviews.
Audit Experience: You have prepared a company for and successfully led it through a meaningful external audit — including working papers, technical accounting memos, and auditor management.
Team Leadership: You have built and managed a finance team, hiring ahead of scale and developing people while balancing in-house and outsourced resources.

About the Company

Teal Communications, Inc.

Global IoT eSIM connectivity platform

Teal Communications provides a global eSIM platform for IoT devices, enabling connection to more than 2,000 cellular networks in 195 countries. By automatically selecting the best network based on price, coverage, and quality, it eliminates roaming costs and handoffs. The eSIM stays embedded in devices for the entire lifecycle (about 15–20 years) without physical maintenance, even as devices move worldwide. Teal supports current networks including 2G, 3G, 4G, LTE-M, NB-IoT, and plans to cover 5G in the future, offering a subscription-based model where customers pay for access to the platform and connectivity, with potential data usage or premium feature fees. The main differentiators are its broad global network access, automated network optimization, lifecycle-long eSIMs, and device-agnostic scalability. Teal’s goal is to remove roaming friction and provide scalable, reliable, globe-spanning IoT connectivity for enterprises and organizations deploying devices worldwide.
