Head of Finance

Finance & Legal San Francisco FullTime Senior level This is a hands on finance lead role at a small, fast growing company. The person must run the monthly close and audit, handle usage based billing and revenue recognition, build the financial model and planning, manage GPU and compute contracts and cash, and support fundraising and investor reporting. A strong candidate has owned a close and a model at a startup, has worked with metered or infrastructure revenue, is comfortable with a large variable cost base, and can work directly from raw data. How it fits the AI era The company sells AI inference, so the finance work centers on metered usage and compute costs that shift with demand. AI tools can speed up reconciliation and reporting, but the judgment on revenue recognition, contract terms and cash planning stays with the person. The role rewards someone who can query usage data directly and turn it into numbers the founders can act on. How it builds AI experience Working here means learning how AI inference is priced and billed, how GPU capacity commitments affect margins, and how usage data reconciles to reported revenue. That gives direct exposure to the economics of AI infrastructure. To prepare, a candidate could practice building reconciliations from raw usage data and modeling variable compute costs.
