This is a broad, high‑impact role touching all areas of FP&A—revenue, expenses, headcount, KPIs, and business partnering with key leaders across the organization. You will work closely with Sales, Operations, and department heads to deliver the financial insights and operational rigor that drive strategic decisions at the leadership level. We are looking for someone who brings genuine financial rigor and a builder’s mindset—someone who sees a manual process and is compelled to automate it, who is fluent with AI tools, particularly Claude, and has a demonstrated track record of using them to do more with less. Our Finance team should operate the way we tell our customers to operate: AI‑first, fast, and continuously improving. If you have built models, dashboards, or workflows that save your team hours every week, we want to hear about it. This position is full‑time and located onsite at our Redwood City office. Responsibilities Build and maintain a dynamic revenue model that incorporates real‑time qualified pipeline data, applies cohort logic, and produces scenario analyses that guide strategic decisions. Partner with Sales and Operations to define, track, and interpret core KPIs and translate the story behind the numbers for leadership. Deliver clear, high‑quality financial narrative for weekly, monthly, and quarterly business reviews, as well as long‑range planning and external guidance in partnership with Investor Relations. Manage expense forecasting, headcount planning, and ongoing business partnership with key department heads across the company. Identify and lead initiatives to automate, streamline, and scale Finance’s reporting and analytical infrastructure—using AI tools, scripting, or whatever it takes to eliminate manual work and improve accuracy. Build ad‑hoc analyses and scenario models that inform business‑critical decisions in a fast‑moving environment. Qualifications BS/MS in Finance, Economics, Accounting, or a STEM‑related field. 2–4 years of progressive experience in Investment Banking, Private Equity, Corporate Finance, or FP&A. Deep financial modeling expertise—able to build a clean, auditable model from scratch across revenue, expenses, and headcount, and understand why every assumption matters. Strong understanding of software business metrics (ARR, NRR, churn, etc.) and familiarity with ASC 606 revenue recognition. Hands‑on proficiency with AI tools—particularly Claude—and a genuine track record of building automations, agents, or analytical tools that improve speed, accuracy, or scale in a Finance context. Strong communicator who can distill complexity for both financial and non‑financial audiences, including senior leadership. Proactive, intellectually curious, and comfortable operating with ambiguity in a high‑growth environment. A team player who holds themselves to a high bar and makes the people around them better. Candidates must be authorized to work in the United States without the need for current or future company sponsorship. C3 AI provides excellent benefits, a competitive compensation package and generous equity plan. California Base Pay Range: $87,000—$110,000 USD.
