To be successful at Common House, you must be:

• A Start-Up’er – Common House is a start-up and an innovator in the social club space. Likewise, we need our VP of Accounting and Finance to embody the same love of start-up chaos, with an ability to jump in and begin assisting as soon as they start. You should have experience operating both as a team and under developing, autonomous direction.

Additionally, this role will require a candidate who practices independent judgment and discretion as many duties performed are of a critical & confidential nature.
• Nimble & Focused – No day is ever the same at Common House, which means no day in this role will be the same either. Your ability to keep the team on track through the chaos of club grand openings and running our daily operations will be critical.
• Stratactical - You are the perfect combination of a high level strategist and an in-the-weeds executor. You will be required to think big picture AND roll up your sleeves to help with the tactical work.
