We are hiring for Strategic Finance and Operations as a high-impact, early finance hire to help build the financial backbone of one of the fastest-growing companies in AI.

- Help build the financial infrastructure for a company expanding internationally
- Build and maintain financial models that drive planning, investment decisions, and long-term growth
- Take on high-impact ad hoc projects that do not fit neatly into a job description but provide outsized leverage to the business
WHO YOU ARE
- 3 to 7 years of experience in strategic finance, FP&A, investment banking, management consulting, or a similarly rigorous analytical role, with high-growth SaaS experience strongly preferred
- Technically sharp and able to turn ambiguous data into a narrative that drives strategic decision-making
- Fluent in SaaS business models and able to connect metrics to the operating decisions that move them
- Excellent written and verbal communicator who can make complex ideas land with any audience
- High ownership and low ego, caring more about getting it right than getting credit
