This is a unique opportunity for a highly autonomous operator to build the finance and business operations function from the ground up while working alongside experienced founders.

  • Develop new processes, tools, and operating rhythms that support rapid growth
  • Operate with a high degree of autonomy and responsibility from day one
  • Help shape the culture and foundation of a firm built for long-term impact

Requirements

  • 2–5 years of experience in strategic finance, business operations, consulting, or investment banking
  • Experience at a top-tier consulting firm, private equity firm, or investment bank
  • Strong track record of building processes, systems, or workflows from 0 to 1
  • Ability to build complex financial models from scratch
  • Experience using AI coding tools or low-code platforms to build systems
  • Strong first-principles thinking and a high level of ownership
  • Degree from a top-tier or target university
