VP of Finance

The posting, as Ironsite Ai wrote it

About Ironsite

Ironsite is building the intelligence layer for the physical world. We design our own wearable hardware, deploy it alongside craft workers, and transform a shift's footage into a next-morning report. Our internal team and purpose-built models label the data overnight and deliver actionable insights to superintendents by 5 AM.

We are accelerating the speed, efficiency, and predictability of construction, especially for complex, mission-critical infrastructure projects, including data centers, LNG facilities, sports stadiums, hospitals, and other large-scale developments, by training AI models on egocentric construction footage and labor productivity data. We are built with a pro-worker philosophy at our core: we believe technology should empower the workforce, not replace it. We're working to give craft workers and project leaders better visibility into what's happening on-site, while creating a system where the reality of construction and the chaos of each day are finally available to the people running the project.

Ironsite is deployed across several of the largest active construction projects in the country. To date, we've captured more than 100,000 hours of construction footage across seven states, now process thousands of hours of site activity every day, and maintain a worker opt-out rate below two percent. This is enabled by a workforce-first architecture that anonymizes devices, captures no audio, and never releases raw video.

Ironsite is backed by leading investors (8VC, South Park Commons, Saga Ventures) and prominent operators across technology and construction, including Eric Schmidt, Jeff Dean, Jeff Rothschild, Mark Leslie, Scott Wu, Eric Glyman, Karim Atiyeh, Russell Kaplan, and others, alongside over a dozen construction industry operators who have joined us as partners in building this.

Longer term, we believe Ironsite is the foundation for what construction becomes in the next decade. The systems we're building will be the operating system for how the physical world gets built. We see a future where craft workers are more valued, more visible, and better paid for the skill they bring, and where the industry finally has the intelligence layer that makes autonomous construction possible. Both start with the same foundation.

The Role

We're hiring our first VP of Finance to build the finance function that will scale Ironsite from a Series A startup into a category-defining hardware and AI company.

You'll own everything from accounting operations to financial planning to cost management to internal controls. Your job is to bring financial rigor to a company that's growing quickly on multiple fronts (hardware at scale, deployments across the country, a growing labeling operation, and a fast-hiring team) and to make sure that as we grow, our unit economics get stronger, not weaker.

This is not a role for someone who wants to inherit a mature finance stack and execute against it. It's a role for someone who ha

bility is real-time and actionable across hardware, deployments, labeling, and cloud infrastructure. Financial discipline is showing up in how the company makes decisions.

• First 6 months. You're the internal authority on how Ironsite manages its finances. Our internal controls, ERP, and reporting infrastructure are ready to support significant scale. Our gross margins are trending in the right direction as we grow, and the finance function is running the business, not just reporting on it.

Location, Compensation, & Perks

• San Francisco Bay Area (on-site)
• Base salary: $200-250k per year, commensurate with experience
• Meaningful founding-team equity. The person who builds the finance function and helps shape corp dev should own real upside.
• Full benefits including health, dental, vision, and 401(k) with 6% match
• Daily catered lunch
• Office in San Francisco, next to Oracle Park and the Caltrain

Final compensation is determined by experience, location, and level.

Why This Role

Every category-defining hardware company had a finance leader who was the reason the business could scale without falling apart. Not because they built the fanciest model, but because they brought financial discipline to a company that needed it, drove cost visibility across a complex operation, and made the calls that kept the company on the right side of every capital and cost decision.

Ironsite is at that moment. We have the product, the customers, the funding, and the team. What we need is the finance leader who is going to build the financial foundation that supports Ironsite becoming a hardware and AI company with material scale, and who has the operational rigor to make sure our unit economics get stronger as we grow, not weaker.

If you've built finance functions at hardware companies that scaled, and you want to do it again at a company that's earning the right to scale, we want to talk.

Compensation
The base pay range for this role is $200,000 – $250,000 per year.
