We can't tell you what you'll be doing six months from now. That's not vagueness—that's the job.
You'll work directly with the founders on whatever matters most that week. Some weeks that means sitting with a controller at 9pm during close, watching which spreadsheet she opens first and why. Some weeks it's the ROI model that unblocks an enterprise deal. Some weeks it's the research piece that names a problem the whole industry has been quietly working around.
We're defining a category that doesn't exist yet. Categories don't get defined by the product alone—they get defined by the arguments you make, the benchmarks you publish, the rooms you get people into, and the language the market ends up borrowing from you.
That work needs an owner. It doesn't need a specialist.
What The Work Actually Looks Like
Learn how finance teams really work.
What you'd do
- How do you price software that replaces work instead of tooling? Seat-based pricing breaks when the product does the job instead of helping someone do it.
- How do you prove ROI for an agent? Finance teams buy on evidence. What's the honest, defensible number, and how do you get it?
- What actually makes a controller trust software? Not a demo. Something else. Go find out what.
- How do you turn fifty scattered customer conversations into one decision? Synthesis is a skill. Most people are bad at it.
- How do you build a category from nothing? Nobody is searching for "Audit-Ready AI for Finance" yet. Change that.
- The generalist who can build beats three who can only recommend. Fluency with Claude and other AI tools isn't a bonus here—it's how one person does the work of a team. You should be automating your own job by month three.
- Writing is thinking. We'd rather read a sharp two-page memo than sit through a twenty-slide deck. If you can't write it clearly, you don't understand it yet.
- The accountant + engineer loop is the moat. The people who sit with controllers and build from what they see compound faster than the ones who don't. That includes you.
- We hire for slope, not intercept. How fast you learn matters more than what you already know. We'd rather teach you finance than teach you how to think.
- Titles here are temporary. Where this role goes in two years depends almost entirely on what you turn out to be good at. Several of the best jobs at this company don't exist yet.
What they want
- Zero to two years of experience, or finishing your degree now. Any field.
- You've done something analytical and hard. Consulting, banking, product, engineering, research, journalism, a startup—or you've built and run something on your own. Both count equally.
- You write clearly. This is the filter that matters most. Clear writing is the visible output of clear thinking.
- You use AI to do real work. Not as a novelty. You've built something with Claude, or automated a process, or gotten an agent to do something genuinely useful.
- You're unusually curious. You're the person who goes three levels deeper than the question required, because you couldn't help it.
- You want responsibility earlier than is comfortable. You'll get it.
