- Coordinate with external accountants and legal counsel on bookkeeping, tax filings, and compliance.

- 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.

- 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).
