Operations
We’re looking for an early-career Financial Operations Associate to help us build and scale the financial backbone of our business. This role sits at the intersection of Finance and Operations - with responsibility for payroll, accounts payable/receivable, and the analytics that inform critical business decisions.
You’ll own execution on day-to-day processes while also shaping how our financial operations evolve as we scale. This is an opportunity for someone with strong analytical chops and a bias toward action who’s ready to grow into a strategic operator. Someone who wants to become a COO/ CFO someday.
What You’ll Do
-
Build the Finance Machine
Run payroll processes end-to-end, including contractor and FTE payments.
Work with tools like Deel to simplify and streamline payroll for both domestic and international teams.
Manage and improve AP/AR processes for a B2C/ B2B environment.
Identify inefficiencies and implement better systems to ensure timely payments and collections.
-
Provide Strategic Direction to Growth, Operations, and Engineering
Partner with executives on building out financial operations functions.
Contribute to financial planning, forecasting, and scenario modeling.
Bring a business-minded lens to financial data — ensuring decisions tie back to growth and sustainability.
-
Drive Financial Analytics & Reporting
Analyze data on cost of labor, COGS, and other key financial drivers.
Provide insights that inform operational and strategic decision-making.
Partner with executives to prepare board and investor information
What We’re Looking For
3–7 years of professional experience in financial operations, accounting, or related roles.
You’re incredibly structured and organized, you love MECE frameworks
You like executing and getting your hands dirty (instead of spending 3 weeks “ideating”)
Strong analytical and data skills; comfortable working with financial models and reporting.
Demonstrated ability to execute quickly and accurately while improving processes.
Business acumen and interest in scaling startups.
Strong stakeholder management
Bonus: familiarity with workforce/payroll tools (Rippling, Workday, Deel, etc).
Bonus: experience with AP/AR, payroll, and contractor/FTE management.
Bonus: experience with financial planning or FP&A.
Why Join Us
Be part of a small, high-impact team where your work directly shapes the company’s growth.
Gain exposure to both operational execution and strategic finance.
Work alongside executives and founders, with mentorship and growth opportunities into senior finance/ops roles.
