We are a high-growth consumer AI company—ranking among the top consumer AI entertainment platforms globally—building the future of interactive storytelling and digital experiences.

As our user base, subscription revenue, and operational infrastructure scale rapidly, we are seeking a versatile, high-agency Finance and Operations Lead to build and own our internal financial infrastructure.

This is a high-leverage "jack-of-all-trades" role for a sharp financial operator who thrives in fluid, fast-moving tech environments. You will work directly with our COO and executive team, taking ownership across financial modeling, subscription analysis, month-end closes, AP/AR management, investor reporting packages, and ad-hoc operational analytics (e.g., cloud compute spend, GPU supplier pricing, and unit economics).

If you are a resourceful, numbers-driven problem solver who wants to build financial architecture at the frontier of consumer AI, this role offers exceptional scope, impact, and growth.

• Accounting & Close Operations: Oversee day-to-day bookkeeping, transaction categorization, and month-end close workflows to ensure clean, accurate financial statements.
• AP/AR Management: Manage Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable—tracking incoming vendor invoices, scheduling payments, monitoring contract liabilities, and enforcing payment schedules.
• Contract & Liability Management: Audit vendor contracts, track upcoming commitment schedules, and maintain clear visibility into recurring operational liabilities.

• Financial Model Ownership: Maintain, update, and refine our core internal three-statement financial model and rolling budget forecasts.
• Subscription Economics: Analyze subscription dynamics—modeling churn, lifetime value (LTV), customer acquisition cost (CAC), retention cohorts, and monthly recurring revenue (MRR) expansion.
• Investor Reporting Packages: Architect and produce monthly and quarterly investor reporting packages, delivering clear visual dashboards and executive summaries for leadership and board members.

• Cloud & Compute Infrastructure Analysis: Run deep-dive spend reports on cloud infrastructure and AI compute consumption, helping leadership monitor unit economics and cost optimization.
• Marketing & Margin Analysis: Evaluate performance marketing spend, payback periods, and margin contributions across product verticals.
• Vendor & GPU Supplier Tracking: Assist leadership with ad-hoc operational research—monitoring GPU market pricing, comparing supplier quotes, and keeping pulse on hardware market dynamics.
• Custom Reporting & Dashboarding: Build automated reporting frameworks and dashboards to give leadership real-time visibility into key financial and operational metrics.

• Educational Background: Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, Business, or a quantitative field.
• Professional Experience: 3–6+ years of combined experience in FP&A, financial operations, corporate accounting, or business analysis within a growth-stage tech company, SaaS startup, or high-volume digital business.
• Financial Modeling Mastery: Advanced proficiency in Excel—building multi-scenario financial models, cohort analyses, and dynamic forecasting dashboards from scratch.
• Generalist "Builder" Mindset: Thrives in less-defined, fast-paced environments. You don't wait for a perfectly rigid process; you identify gaps, ask great questions, build the system, and drive it to completion.
• Technical & Analytics Comfort: Highly tech-savvy with the ability to navigate cloud spend data, database exports, software subscriptions, and financial automation tools quickly.
• English Fluency: C1/C2 near-native written and spoken English, with the poise and clarity needed to present complex financial insights directly to executive leadership.

• Prior experience with subscription/SaaS metrics or consumer digital platforms.
• Exposure to cloud computing unit economics (AWS, GCP, specialized GPU providers).
• Flexibility to lean deeper into either strategic FP&A/analytics or core accounting/financial management based on personal strengths and company evolution.
• Experience working with ClickHouse or another analytical data warehouse, including using SQL to query large datasets; candidates with strong analytical aptitude and a willingness to learn ClickHouse quickly are also encouraged to apply.
