Passionate about Reinventing Forestry!
What we do isn't easy—but we're doing it! By moving forestry above the treetops, we tend to all values of the forest. We provide non-invasive land management operations with our lightweight, high-capacity electric drones. This gives forests the ability to bind (much) more carbon dioxide, increase biodiversity, and regenerate faster, resulting in healthier forests and more efficient production value. Moreover, our approach improves the work environment for forest operators. Happier forests, happier people—makes a happier planet!
To power AirForestry’s fossil free forestry future, we’ve just closed a €10M round led by Northzone, a global $4b multi-stage VC fund, with their GP Pär-Jörgen Pärson joining our board.
As AirForestry's Head of Finance, you'll be at the forefront of steering our financial future, reporting to the CEO. From financial operations to optimizing fundraising, project financing, and investor relations, your expertise will be critical in scaling up.
The role includes, but is not limited to:
- Overseeing the finance function, driving AirForestry's financial analysis, budgeting, forecasting and reporting ensuring we deliver on our goals.
- Guiding AirForestry on the financial effects of different approaches in our business model, customer and supplier agreements.
- Working with the CEO and team on techno-economic analysis in relation to our product, customers and investors.
- Leading the process to make AirForestry bankable and to secure further non-dilutive financing, working closely with relevant stakeholders, such as the Executive Chair, CEO, CCO, and Head of Marketing.
- Together with the Executive Chairman and CEO, executing a successful next fundraise.
- Delivering clear business objectives regarding environmental benefits together with our Business Development team.
You have:
- 5+ years of relevant work experience, e.g. as a management consultant within the finance sector and then as a key player in an in-house finance or analytics function.
- Experience in high-growth/scaling environments, ideally within startups or scale-ups.
- Experience in obtaining venture financing and/or non-dilutive financing such as EU grants, loans, and/or biodiversity credits.
- A relevant degree in finance, financial mathematics, economics, or a related field.
- Fluency in English, with excellent verbal and written communication skills.
You'll have the chance to shape the financial future of a scaling organization. Being part of AirForestry gives you the opportunity to work in a fast-paced organization with cutting-edge technology that helps solve the climate crisis. As a hands-on, experimental, and outdoorsy bunch, we focus on getting things done. We're quality-oriented, problem-solving, fact-based, kind, and open—and we ask lots of questions!

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.
