Finance & Operations

What You'll Do

• Own and maintain the company’s financial model, budget, and cash flow forecasts; support financing preparation with investor-ready reporting.
• Manage accounts payable/receivable, invoicing, and vendor payments.
• Coordinate with external accountants and legal counsel on bookkeeping, tax filings, and compliance.
• Build and improve internal operational processes—everything from onboarding new hires to managing software subscriptions and procurement.
• Support contract administration for customer and partner agreements (frontier AI labs), working alongside the sales and BD team.
• Track and report on key business metrics and KPIs to the founding team.
• Handle day-to-day team operations: benefits administration coordination, expense management, insurance, and office logistics.
• Serve as the operational backbone of a fast-moving team—identifying gaps, building lightweight systems, and keeping things running smoothly.

What We're Looking For

• 2–4 years of experience in finance, operations, or a hybrid role, ideally at a startup or high-growth tech company.
• Strong financial modeling and spreadsheet skills—comfortable building and maintaining budgets, forecasts, and cash flow models.
• Experience with core operational workflows: vendor management, procurement, billing/invoicing, and contract administration.
• Familiarity with accounting fundamentals (accrual vs. cash, revenue recognition basics)—someone who can partner effectively with external accountants or a fractional CFO.
• Highly organized and process-oriented, with a knack for building systems where none exist yet.
• Comfort with ambiguity and context-switching.
• A bias toward action and building over waiting for perfect information.
• Bachelor’s degree in finance, economics, business, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
