About Hexa
Hexa (formerly eFounders) gives entrepreneurs the best chances to build outstanding companies. We're a pioneering, world-leading startup studio born in Europe, with a track record comparable to tier-1 VC funds: 60+ companies created (including 3 unicorns), among them Aircall, Spendesk, Front, Swan and Yousign.
We're entering a special chapter. After 15 years building companies from scratch, Hexa is scaling: expanding our Ventures activity across Europe (Hexa Start and Hexa Sprint, taking entrepreneurs from zero to one) and growing Hexa Scale, our PE program that takes majority stakes in existing startups and pushes them to new thresholds.
We're hiring a VP FInance and Investments to structure the financing strategy of the holding company and play a central role in Scale's deal-making. It's a StratCo seat internally and a key point of contact for our investors externally, at a moment when the shape of Hexa for the next years is being decided.
The Mission
You'll be a strategic partner to the CEO and the Hexa Partners, sitting at the intersection of finance and deal-making strategy. You'll drive the financing of the holding company, own the relationship with our shareholders, and bring analytical firepower to Scale's investment decisions (including a seat on the board of several portfolio companies).
Think Swiss Army knife: equally at home in a financial model, a deal structuring conversation, an incentive mechanism, or a banking negotiation.
What You'll Own
I/ Financing & holding strategy
Define and execute the financing strategy at the holding level (debt, equity, hybrid instruments)
Manage the shareholder relationship: cap table structuring, capital operations, reporting
Manage banking relationships and the group's financial partners
Steer treasury and capital allocation across the three tracks
Build and maintain the group's reference financial models
Manage a small team handling Hexa FP&A, operational LP management and regulatory matters
II/ Deal-making & investments (Scale)
Key contributor to Hexa Scale's investment decisions: due diligence analysis, BP, valuation, modeling
Challenge the structure of deals (majority acquisitions, term sheets, governance mechanisms)
Design incentive schemes (management packages, carried interest on the investment-team side, leaver provisions)
Sit on the board of a few portfolio companies
About You
You've spent 6-8 years in finance, including at least 3-4 years in investment banking (M&A, leveraged finance) or in an investment fund (investment team / deal team).
You're just as comfortable building a financial model as you are structuring a deal, designing incentives, or negotiating with a bank.
You're analytical and a fast learner, able to quickly get up to speed on new and heterogeneous topics.
You thrive in a fast-paced, low-structure environment.
You take full ownership and think strategically, rather than waiting for a playbook.
You've spent enough time in the tech and startup ecosystem to know how it works and speak its language.
You're bilingual French / English.
You're based in Paris.
