About the job

About the Role

We're looking for a different kind of Finance Manager. Someone who understands FP&A inside and out, but believes the future of finance looks fundamentally different from how most companies operate today.

At Fountain, we're actively transforming our finance organization into an AI-native, agentic function. We're moving away from manual processes, disconnected systems, repetitive reporting and spreadsheet-heavy workflows toward a model where AI agents handle much of the operational work, allowing our team to focus on analysis, strategic decisions and driving business outcomes.

We need someone who can help us build that future. This isn't a traditional FP&A role with a few AI projects on the side. We're looking for a hands-on builder who can own core financial planning and analysis responsibilities while helping redesign how our entire finance organization operates.

You'll work directly with our Head of Finance and company leadership, with significant autonomy to identify opportunities, build solutions, challenge existing processes and drive meaningful change.

We're not looking for someone who wants to learn about AI. We're looking for someone who's already using it to fundamentally change how they work.

What You'll Do

1.Transform Finance Through AI & Automation

• Conduct a comprehensive gap analysis of our finance organization, identifying manual workflows, inefficiencies, disconnected systems and opportunities for agentic automation
• Design, build, test and deploy AI agents and agentic workflows across FP&A, accounting, reporting and broader finance operations
• Develop reusable agent skills, workflows and integrations that enable our finance systems to work together with minimal manual intervention
• Identify opportunities to eliminate repetitive work, reduce operational costs, improve accuracy and accelerate execution
• Help establish best practices for agent performance, human-in-the-loop controls, reliability, monitoring and continuous improvement
• Optimize the economics of our AI infrastructure, including token consumption, model selection, execution efficiency and cost per workflow
• Partner with Finance leadership to build a roadmap toward an increasingly autonomous finance organization
  

2. Own Core FP&A & Management Reporting

• Own and continuously improve financial forecasting, budgeting, variance analysis and key SaaS operating metrics
• Build scalable, automated management reporting across the business, giving leadership timely, accurate and actionable visibility into performance
• Develop and maintain reporting for ARR, revenue, retention, unit economics, departmental performance and other critical business KPIs.
• Support board and investor reporting, including financial models, ARR waterfalls, cohort analysis and executive reporting
• Own commission calculations, tracking and reconciliation, with a focus on automating the end-to-end process
• Translate financial and operational data into clear insights that support better decision-making
• Move reporting away from manual preparation toward automated, reliable and increasingly real-time insights
  

3. Connect Systems, Data & Workflows

• Work across our finance technology stack, including Rillet, Runway, Airbase, Salesforce, Rippling and other operational platforms
• Identify gaps in how data moves between systems and develop solutions that improve data integrity, accessibility and reporting
• Build and improve integrations, automated reconciliations and cross-functional workflows
• Help establish a trusted financial data foundation that supports both traditional reporting and AI-driven decision-making
• Continuously evaluate new AI tools, platforms and approaches that can improve the efficiency and effectiveness of Finance
  

4. Be a Hands-On Finance Operator

• Roll up your sleeves and solve problems, whether that means building a financial model, investigating a reconciliation issue, developing an AI agent or redesigning an entire workflow
• Partner closely with Accounting, Sales, Customer Success, People Operations and other teams to improve financial processes across the company
• Challenge existing ways of working and proactively identify opportunities to do things faster, better and more efficiently
• Take ownership of projects from identifying the problem through implementation, measurement and ongoing optimization
  

What We're Looking For

Must Have

• A strong foundation in FP&A, corporate finance or finance operations, ideally within a SaaS or high-growth technology company
• Demonstrable, hands-on experience building and deploying AI agents, agentic workflows or LLM-powered automation in a real business environment
• Recent experience actively using AI to automate meaningful portions of your own work or your team's workflows
• Strong financial modeling skills and a solid understanding of SaaS metrics, financial reporting and management reporting
• Technical fluency and comfort
