We’re looking for a high-performing, all-rounded finance athlete to join our team and support the rapidly growing GenAI business. You’ll collaborate closely with Product, Operations, Growth, and Go-to-Market leaders to bring financial rigor to decision-making, develop actionable insights that drive strategy, and build scalable systems as the business expands.

This role is ideal for someone with 4-6 years of experience in a fast-paced, high-growth environment. Someone who thrives in ambiguity, can juggle multiple workstreams, and brings a mix of analytical rigor, business acumen, and strong execution.

  • Support reporting and performance management, including weekly and monthly reviews, consolidations, and ad hoc analyses
  • Partner with GenAI leadership and cross functional teams to evaluate and execute key strategic and operational initiatives that scale the business multifold
  • Conduct financial analyses and build business cases for new products, partnerships, and investments
  • Collaborate with Accounting and Corporate Finance to improve close, reporting, and planning cadences
  • Continuously improve financial processes and systems to enhance scalability, forecast precision, and data visibility

Qualifications

  • 4–6 years of experience in Strategic Finance, FP&A, or Business Operations, ideally within a high-growth technology company
  • 2 years of investment banking experience at a top-tier firm
  • Strong analytical and financial modeling skills; ability to translate complex data into actionable insights
  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to distill complexity into clear narratives for non-finance stakeholders
  • Advanced proficiency in Excel, Google Sheets, and PowerPoint; strong command of financial modeling best practices
  • Experience with SQL or Business Intelligence tools (e.g., Looker, Tableau)
  • Familiarity with Anaplan, Adaptive Insights, or other planning systems
  • Nice to have

  • Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, Engineering, or a related field
  • Prior experience supporting Product, Engineering, Growth, or Operations teams within a technology company
  • Compensation packages at Scale for eligible roles include base salary, equity, and benefits. The base salary range for the San Francisco location is $147,000 - $183,750 USD.
