Tier Guide

Altura pays 75th percentile for Series A in the Netherlands.

We’re Altura, an ambitious SaaS startup, and we just raised our Series A!

At Altura, we’re making it easier for organizations to win complex deals (tenders and RfPs). With our AI powered platform, we simplify bid management by turning it into a smooth, strategic process. We connect workflows, automate tasks, and make knowledge accessible, so teams can work more efficiently and effectively.

But we’re not stopping there.

We’re building the first AI powered Agentic Virtual Bidmanagement Assistant, designed to automate the entire bid lifecycle. With fresh funding, big ambitions, and a fast growing team, we’re just getting started.

If you value innovation, enjoy working collaboratively, and want to make a real impact, we’d love to have you on board.

Let’s work together!


About the Role

We are looking for our first full-time Finance hire to build and run Altura's internal Finance function as we scale beyond Series A. You’ll work closely with our fractional CFO to turn strategic goals into actionable financial plans, forecasts, and processes, while taking charge of day-to-day operations. From there, you will expand into financial planning & analysis, investor reporting, and compliance, building the foundations of a high-impact Finance function.

This is a hands-on role at the heart of a venture-backed startup, with visibility across leadership and investors. We offer uncapped growth potential and the opportunity to level up your skillsets at the #2 ranked startup in the Netherlands.

Key Responsibilities

  • Financial Operations

    • Manage accounts payable and receivable, overseeing cash flow and liquidity

    • Support and then lead monthly closings and ensure accurate revenue recognition

    • Liaise with external accountants on VAT, payroll, and statutory filings

  • Financial Planning & Analysis

    • Build (with support of our Fractional CFO) and maintain financial models for budgeting, forecasting, and scenario planning

    • Monitor performance vs. budget and proactively identify risks and opportunities

    • Provide monthly reporting and analysis to the leadership team and board

  • Process, Compliance & Controls

    • Improve internal financial processes, cost-centre structures, and reporting dashboards

    • Implement policies on procurement, travel, reimbursements, and approvals

    • Ensure compliance with local regulations (NL, and UK as we expand)

Who You Are

  • 3–6 years of experience in finance, FP&A, or accounting (startup/scaleup experience preferred)

  • Strong financial modelling and Excel/Google Sheets skills

  • Familiarity with SaaS metrics and revenue recognition principles

  • Familiarity with Exact and Moss

  • Hands-on, structured, and comfortable working in a fast-moving startup

  • Fluent in English (Dutch is a plus)

You Should Apply If

  • You love high-impact roles where you can collaboratively build processes as we scale. If you want to feel like your work matters and see tangible results, we want to hear from you!

  • You take ownership of everything you do. At Altura, you will have the freedom to make key decisions, own projects, and experiment with new ideas. If you thrive in environments that reward creativity and independence, we want to hear from you!

  • You are passionate about innovation. We tackle new and uncharted problems every day. If you are excited to work on cutting-edge problems and create solutions, we want to hear from you!

You Should Not Apply If

  • At Altura, roles can be fluid. Success here requires wearing many hats and zooming out on our strategy to drive impact. If you prefer well-defined responsibilities and career paths, this might not be the right fit for you.

  • Alturians take initiative and solve problems without much guidance. If you thrive on close supervision or clear processes, and seek extensive mentorship, this might not be the right fit for you.

  • We believe that it is good to make mistakes – taking risks leads to more growth and learning. If you are afraid of failure, this might not be the right for you.

The workplace

Altura is a fast-growing B2B AI SaaS company with great ambitions.
