Fractional CFO (1 day a Week) | VC-Backed Deeptech / Hardware | Remote, UK-Based
The Client
Harmonic is partnering with a VC-backed deeptech business building highly technical hardware, now preparing to go out for its Series A. Recent changes in the business mean they need an experienced pair of hands to come in and take the raise to completion alongside the founder/CEO.
The Role
- Five days per month, three months initially, with real potential to extend through Series B.
- The data room is prepped and the financial model is built, so this is not a build-from-scratch brief: it is about getting up to speed quickly, owning the numbers in the room, and sitting alongside the founder/CEO through investor meetings as the credible finance voice.
- You will also help scope out the team plans.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.

What You'll Do

- Work alongside the founder/CEO in investor meetings, leading the financial narrative and handling diligence questions.

- Sanity-check and stress-test the model, assumptions and scenarios.
- Scope out the team structure post Series A.
Essential Experience
- Has raised seed and/or Series A as CFO from VCs.
