Full Job Description
About the role:
In this role, you'll serve as a trusted strategic advisor to senior leadership across two fast-growing, AI-native businesses: an AI-native claims TPA and an AI-native platform for insurance.

As a strategic partner to senior leadership, you'll influence some of the company's most important decisions-from where we invest and how we scale to how we build an AI-native finance organization. You'll work cross-functionally, connecting strategy, finance, operations, and execution to help drive the business forward.

This is a high-impact, high-autonomy role for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment. You'll tackle the company's biggest challenges, lead cross-functional initiatives, and help build AI-first systems, processes, and operating rhythms that will define our next stage of growth.

What you'll do:
  • Partner directly with senior leadership to shape company strategy, driving decisions on growth, investments, capital allocation, and organizational priorities
  • Lead high-impact, cross-functional initiatives that improve business performance, partnering with leaders across Product, Engineering, Operations, Go-to-Market, Recruiting, and People from identifying opportunities through execution
  • Design the operating rhythms that help the company scale, including planning, forecasting, performance management, and company-wide decision-making processes.
  • Define the company's long-term financial strategy, including fundraising, strategic planning, and/or evaluating new business opportunities.
  • Directly shape how we build an AI-native finance organization, reimagining how AI augments every part of the workflows, from planning, analysis, decision-making, to execution

About you:
  • 4-6 years of experience across management consulting, investment banking, private equity, Strategic Finance or Business Operations roles in high-growth companies
  • Proficiency in complex financial modeling and planning
  • Comfortable working cross-functionally with multiple teams, building strong relationships, and driving alignment in an ambiguous, fast-moving environment.
  • Demonstrated outstanding analytical and problem-solving skills
  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to simplify and articulate complex financial concepts to diverse stakeholders, from executives to operators.
  • Hands-on operator: comfortable digging into the details with teams, implementing solutions, and iterating quickly - not just producing metrics or analysis.
  • Detail-oriented and execution-focused, with the resilience to thrive in a high-performance, fast-paced setting.

Benefits:
  • Competitive salary & equity
  • Medical, dental & vision insurance
  • 401k with company match
  • Unlimited PTO
  • 3 days/week in NY office
