Head of Finance
Passionate about Reinventing Forestry!
At AirForestry, we’re doing something pretty amazing—taking forestry above the treetops! 🌲✨ With our lightweight, high-capacity electric drones, we’re transforming how forests are managed. Our non-invasive approach helps forests capture more carbon, boosts biodiversity, and speeds up regeneration, leading to healthier trees and a happier planet. Plus, we’re making life easier and safer for forest operators. Healthier forests, happier people—it’s a win-win!
We’re after someone who’s not just great with spreadsheets, but also passionate about sustainability and innovation. If you love problem-solving, enjoy working in a fast-paced, dynamic environment, and are excited about making a real difference in the world, we’d love to meet you!
What You’ll Be Doing (It’s More Than Just Numbers!):
- Lead the Way: Oversee all things finance—budgeting, forecasting, reporting—and keep us on track to meet our goals.
- Be Our Financial Navigator: Guide us on the financial impact of different business strategies and customer partnerships.
- Crunch the Numbers, Drive the Mission: Collaborate with our CEO and team to analyze the financial side of our tech and products, ensuring we’re delivering value for our customers and investors.
- Fund the Future: Lead efforts to secure non-dilutive financing (think grants, loans) and help make AirForestry bankable. You’ll work hand-in-hand with our Executive Chair, CEO, CCO, and Head of Marketing.
- Get Ready for Takeoff: Play a key role in executing our next successful fundraising round.
- Make an Impact: Partner with our Business Development team to align financial goals with environmental benefits. Because numbers do tell a story, and we want ours to be about positive change!
What You Bring to the Table:
- Finance Know-How: You’ve got 5+ years of experience under your belt—maybe you started as a management consultant in the finance world and then joined an in-house finance or analytics team. You know your numbers, but you also know how to use them to drive smart decisions.
- A Good Foundation: You’ve got a degree in something relevant like finance, financial mathematics, economics, or a related field—but what really sets you apart is how you apply that knowledge in creative, real-world ways.
- Communication Champ: You’re fluent in English and can explain complex financial stuff in a way that everyone can understand—whether you’re talking to investors, teammates, or writing reports.
- Detail Detective: You’ve got a sharp eye for the finer details and aren’t afraid to dive deep into complex financial data. You love uncovering insights that others might miss—and turning those insights into action.
- Strategic Sidekick: You’re excited to be a pivotal right hand to our CEO and Executive Chair. You thrive in a collaborative environment, love sharing ideas, and are eager to play a key role in shaping AirForestry’s future.
It’s a plus if…
- You have experience from venture financing or securing non-dilutive funding like EU grants, loans, or even biodiversity credits, where you know how to find the resources to fuel growth.
- Bonus Points if You Love Forests as Much as We Do! 🌲 Whether you’re a forest owner, an outdoor enthusiast, or have experience working with forests, your passion for nature will feel right at home here. Not required, but it’s definitely a plus!

Reinvent forestry with our great team
We have a world class organization in scale up, technology and flight, to build a new way to manage forests to help solve the climate and biodiversity crises. And we’re having a lot of fun doing it!
As a hands-on, experimental, and outdoorsy bunch, we focus on getting things done. We're quality-oriented, problem-solving, fact-based, kind, open and ask lots of questions. Sounds like a group you’d have a good time with?
There’s currently about 33 of us and we are always on the lookout for the best and brightest!
About AirForestry
We build cutting edge forestry technology that helps solve the climate and biodiversity crises. Our mission is to contribute to a substantial positive change by creating better forests for everyone.
Forestry is a long-term project. What is harvested today was tended by previous generations, and what is planted today will be harvested by our grandchildren.
AirForestry provides solutions for thinning forests with the help of
electric drones that can harvest trees from the air. AirForestry reduces
the need for access roads, eliminates the consumption of diesel, and
provides a better working environment for those who work in the forest.
We have paying customers and great partnerships. See our main website for more information.
