Why Join Cloud Capital?
We’re tackling one of the biggest unsolved problems in SaaS: helping CFOs manage and optimize cloud spend without taking on commitment risk. Backed by $7.7M in funding from top US and European investors, our experienced founding team has lived this pain firsthand, and built and exited companies before.

Our platform is already used by fast-scaling, VC-backed startups spending millions on cloud. It gives finance leaders visibility, control, and savings, without locking them into rigid deals. It’s a uniquely differentiated solution in a huge and growing market. This is a career-defining opportunity with serious upside: equity, benefits, and the chance to shape the company at an early stage.

We move fast, operate with high trust, and believe:

Truth beats consensus – we surface what’s real, fast.
Debate is healthy – we challenge ideas, not people, then align and commit.
Bias for action – we make smart bets and learn by doing.
Ownership matters – see it, fix it, share it.

Location
This is a hybrid role currently based in Farringdon, London, with an expectation of ~3 in-office days per week for hands-on team collaboration, faster coaching and culture building. Occasional travel for team offsites and company-wide gatherings is expected.
