Job description

What We Do

Rillet serves accounting and finance teams. Our customers are the financial brains of their companies. Our job is to help them run the numbers with impossible speed, accuracy, and insight. Rillet is an AI-native ERP that can drive a zero-day close. We are different because of our unified source-of-truth data model, hundreds of best-in-class native integrations (Stripe, Ramp, Salesforce, etc), automated & auditable workflows, multi-entity consolidation, and quickly expanding army of specialized AI agents (e.g., accrual, audit, P&L flux, board decks, etc). These earn us a consistently perfect customer satisfaction score. High-growth AI customers like Mercor, and Function Health love our ship velocity, because their financial stack needs to scale as quickly as they do. This huge market is ours to take. We have raised $100M from leading investors (including Sequoia, a16z, Iconiq, Oak HC/FT, and First Round) to help everyone run their numbers at the speed of AI.

Who We Are

Rillet’s pace is not for everyone. Intelligence is table stakes. To succeed here, you need extreme speed, agency, and flexibility. Successful Rilleteers do not wait for assignments. They internalize a mission, design a strategy, and bring back results that are better, faster, and more creative than a manager could have asked for. Work revolves around our customers. Successful Rilleteers are energized by delivering the most important things, even those that weren’t in the original plan. In this role, you do not need to be an accountant. But you do need to appreciate the value that our customers can create for their own company when we equip them with the perfect financial tools. Successful Rilleteers love powering the financial core of the world’s fastest-growing companies.

Who We Need

You’ll work closely with our Head of GTM and Business Development Manager to scale the sales pipeline and drive execution toward ambitious growth targets. As one of the first members of the GTM team, you’ll have a key role in shaping our strategy, testing new approaches, and building the foundation for Rillet’s long-term go-to-market success. We're looking for teammates who value in-person collaboration and are within commutable distance (or willing to relocate to) our SF Office. Team members are required to work in-office Tuesdays and Thursdays, plus one additional flexible in-office day. Certain roles may require additional in-office time based on function.

What You’ll Do

Drive and Evolve Our Outbound Motion

• Build on our initial outbound playbook by testing and iterating on messaging, channels, and strategy.
• Run message tests, analyze ROI across various channels, and explore unconventional outreach tactics. Refine outbound processes and take full ownership with a scrappy, results-driven mindset - doubling down where you see traction.

Execute with Relentless Focus

• Partner with the GTM team to provide feedback on MQLs and campaign performance.
• Lead personalized, strategic outreach to high-priority accounts, converting cold and warm leads into SQLs.
• Drive and accelerate pipeline growth actively.

Represent Rillet

• First point of contact for many prospects by running qualification calls and guiding them through early evaluation stages.
• Engage thoughtfully with customer needs and communicate Rillet’s value proposition clearly, compellingly, and solution-orientedly.
