RideScan is a UK-based deep-tech AI startup focused on making autonomous systems safer and more reliable. From Boston Dynamics’ Spot to humanoids and industrial robots, our technology provides independent insights into the performance and health of robots, detecting risks inside robotic systems during mission-critical operations.

RideScan’s journey has earned recognition through the YOPE Fellowship, led by Silicon Valley entrepreneur Michael Baum (behind a $28billion exit), Conception X (UK's leading deep tech accelerator for PhDs), Barclays Eagle Labs and through inclusion in the NVIDIA Inception program, granting us access to elite tools, mentorship, and go-to-market support. We’re also backed by Microsoft for Startups.

Our innovations have been showcased at prestigious venues including the University of Cambridge, the University of Oxford and the London Business School. Backed by global pilots and early investment, we’re preparing for rapid growth.

The Role

We’re seeking a high-trust, high-impact Founding Financial Strategist to join us on a part-time basis (2–3 days/week) for an initial 6-month period.

- Develop strategic funding plans (grants, equity, non-dilutive options)

- Advise the founder on optimal capital allocation for R&D, pilots, and hiring

- Work alongside the Executive Assistant on operations and spend tracking

About You

- 2+ years experience in finance, strategy, or operations (preferably in a startup or R&D-heavy setting)

- Confident in financial modelling, forecasting, and investor-facing documentation

- Technically curious — comfortable working with engineers and technical data

- Clear communicator who thrives in ambiguity and takes initiative

- Seeks ownership and long-term growth as part of a founding team

- Experience with Innovate UK, Horizon Europe, Scottish Enterprise, and other public grant funding

- Familiarity with SEIS/EIS, SAFE notes, or early-stage investment frameworks

- Understanding of robotics, AI, or cloud-based infrastructure costs

- Experience using tools like Xero, Capdesk, or Pulley

Why Join RideScan?
