We're looking for a sharp operator with financial acumen to shape our business operations and strategy while working closely with the co-founders.

This is a high-impact, high-autonomy role for someone who thrives in ambiguity, loves solving problems, and can toggle between deep analysis and hands-on execution.

What we look for:

• 2–6 years of experience in finance, consulting, or startup operations.

• Strong foundation in financial modeling, accounting principles, and data analysis.

• Is proficient in SQL and comfortable digging into messy data to answer strategic questions.

• Has experience in a startup or fast-paced environment; understands what it means to wear multiple hats.

• Graduated from a top-tier university with a strong academic record.

• Is low ego, open-minded, intellectually curious, and enjoys asking good questions.

• Is a critical thinker who can synthesize complex data into actionable insights.

• Has the bias to action to not only recommend solutions, but roll up their sleeves and implement them.

• Values execution and accountability as much as strategy.

What You'll Do:

• Financial Modeling & Analysis: Build and maintain revenue projections, analyze gross vs. net, and identify growth trends and financial insights.

• Data Analysis & SQL: Use SQL to answer operational questions (e.g., “What’s the recruiter drop-off rate after 3 months?”), draw insights from raw data, and work with our product and data teams as needed.

• Accounting & Finance Operations: Own key finance workflows including accounts receivable/payable, vendor management, income statements, balance sheets, and cash flow.

• Legal & Compliance: Coordinate with external counsel on contracts, compliance issues, and general legal needs.

• Fundraising Support & Investor Relations: Collaborate with the CEO and leadership team to prepare fundraising materials, manage investor updates, and drive diligence processes.

• Strategic Execution: Propose and implement high-leverage operational initiatives—no ivory-tower strategy; we expect you to build and own the work from start to finish.
