Title: VP of Finance / Head of Finance
Company: Microamp

We are looking for a VP of Finance / Head of Finance who will drive fiscal discipline across the company and help transform Microamp into a more business-driven, financially robust, and scalable organization. This is a highly strategic and hands-on leadership role at the center of the company.
