At Orbisk, we’re on a mission to create a world where zero food waste isn’t just a dream—it’s a reality. We combine cutting-edge tech with a sustainability-first mindset to help the hospitality industry make smarter, greener choices. As a proud B-Corp, we’re leading the way in the fight against food waste, and our results speak volumes: over 3.304.734 kg of food waste eliminated in 42+ countries (and counting!). 🌍

We don’t just offer technology; we’re a trusted partner to our customers, working alongside them to create lasting change. Through innovation and listening closely to their needs, we’ve built a solution that drives both environmental and business success. 

With our team growing rapidly, we’re looking for a Chief Financial & Operating Officer (CFO/ COO) to help us build the future—one that’s greener, smarter, and waste-free. Let’s create impact together! 🌱

What's on the menu?

As our new CFO/COO, you will join our executive team to shape and execute the financial and operational strategy that will guide Orbisk through our next phase of hyper-growth. This is a role for a strategic operator and a clear, confident communicator who can serve as a key partner to the CEO and the leadership team. You will be instrumental in translating our ambitious vision into scalable processes and tangible financial results.

Your responsibilities will span across several key areas:

• Lead strategic finance & control, including forecasting, budgeting, cash runway, and financial modeling.

•  Lead our Fundraising to Series B efforts, from crafting the story to leading diligence and investor relations.

• Drive operational excellence by translating strategy into scalable processes across Operations, Hardware, and Supply Chain.

• Mature processes for multi-country scaling and manage financial and regulatory risks.

• Co-create our pricing strategy and manage procurement to improve margin and reliability.

• Hire, coach, and uplevel a lean Finance & Ops team, fostering a high-performance culture.

• Manage Board & Governance, including providing monthly metrics, board packs, and risk registers.

• Champion a data-driven culture by instrumenting dashboards and automating reporting.

• Act as the primary legal and compliance liaison with external counsel.

The key ingredients for success:

• You have 8-12+ years of experience in finance and operations, ideally within a SaaS, hardware-enabled services, or climate tech environment.

• You have a proven track record of leading Series A to B (or later) fundraising, including due diligence and investor relations.

• You are a hands-on operator, comfortable with both strategic planning and day-to-day execution.

• You are an expert in FP&A, controllership, and revenue operations, with the ability to communicate financial insights clearly and confidently to the entire team.

• You have experience scaling international operations and compliance.

• You are fluent in English.

Others are more personal—joining a fast-growing scale-up is exciting, full of opportunities, and yes, a great story to share. Plus, you’ll be part of a team that’s driven, innovative, and just a little adventurous. And of course, we’ve got some great perks to offer too:

• 32-40 hour work week in a hybrid office setting, lunch included.

• To take a break to recharge, we encourage you to take 30 days of annual leave per year (based on full time).

• Everyone has different needs when it comes to benefits. That’s why we provide a monthly flexible spending budget that you can use toward health and wellness

• An annual home office budget of €250 is offered, so you can create a nice work from home space, as well as a travel allowance for when you work from home.

• We make sure we regularly organize company activities to connect and have fun with your colleagues.
