About the role

Strategic finance partner to join the growing finance team, supporting planning, modeling, systems implementation, and strategic projects in a fast-moving AI startup environment.

Responsibilities

  • Planning: Support company-wide financial planning, forecasting, and budgeting processes
  • Models: Help maintain and extend our bottoms-up revenue model across GTM motions and products, track and report actuals vs variances, and surface insights
  • Systems: Assist with FP&A software implementation and additional finance systems (ERP, procurement)
  • Reporting: Partner with accounting and data on monthly revenue reporting, ensuring product- and customer-level breakdowns are accurate and usable
  • Visibility: Build dashboards giving leadership real-time visibility into key performance metrics vs plan and forecast
  • Make the data usable: Go into the data (e.g. BigQuery), spot what’s wrong, and drive it to a fix with the right people; we’re a lean team without a dedicated analyst, so this is core to the job
  • Automate: Use AI tools to automate recurring financial workflows

Qualifications

  • 4-6 years of experience across investment banking, private equity or strategic finance at a fast-growing startup
  • Able to read and troubleshoot data and validate metrics independently. You don’t need to hand-write SQL, but you must read a table, find what’s wrong, and problem-solve it
  • Working knowledge of accounting concepts (billings, deferred revenue, AR, rev rec) and able to translate them for non-finance stakeholders
  • Strong financial-modeling skill; can distill complex data into clear, actionable insights
  • Strong cross-functional communication and influencing skills
  • Resourceful, low-ego, high-urgency, and genuinely excited to operate in a fast-changing AI startup with evolving processes
  • Experience in AI, cloud, or large-scale computing infrastructure
  • Experience implementing a modern FP&A tool
  • Track record of building/using AI tools to automate financial workflows
