Job summary

Retell AI in Redwood City, California, is hiring its first in-house finance leader focused on FP&A. You will report directly to a Founder and be the person who builds how Retell AI plans, forecasts, and measures the business as we scale.

This is a hands-on role with real influence on pricing, hiring, and investment decisions, and the finance foundation you build now will carry the company through its next stage of growth.

Qualifications

• 5+ years in FP&A, strategic finance, or corporate finance in a high-growth software or usage-based business.

• Comfort being a first hire: you are happy to be hands-on and build from scratch.

• Build and run the annual plan, rolling forecast, and operating model covering revenue, usage-based gross margin, headcount, and cash.
• Run the monthly business review: explain changes vs plan, why, and actions.
