Descrizione del lavoro

Finance & Legal · New York City · FullTime · Senior level

This is the first finance hire at a fast growing health tech company, so the role asks for someone who can build the finance function from scratch rather than step into an existing one. A strong candidate brings several years of modeling and analysis work, likely from banking, plus hands on startup finance experience running a close, payroll, and reporting. The person needs to be comfortable doing detailed operational work alone at first while also advising founders on what the numbers mean.

How it fits the AI era

The company sells AI phone agents, so finance here means tracking costs tied to voice AI infrastructure and keeping gross margin accurate as usage scales. Much of the routine work, like close checklists and reporting drafts, can be sped up with modern tools, but judgment about what the metrics mean and how to plan still rests with a person. The role stays human in its core: setting the operating model, choosing what to measure, and explaining the story to founders and investors.

How it builds AI experience

The candidate would gain direct exposure to the economics of AI products, learning how voice AI infrastructure costs flow into COGS and margin. Building the operating model and metrics for an AI driven healthcare business offers a rare view of how AI services scale. To prepare, someone could practice modeling usage based costs and studying how AI vendors price their services.

Worth showing

• ARR and margin metrics
• Monthly close ownership
• Investor reporting
• Outsourced accounting management
