Job Summary
Every person in the right job. Every company hiring the best person for every role. Thats what our agents Jack and Jill exist to do - and in doing it were reshaping a marketplace. Were looking for a finance leader who can mature our commercial operations with the scale of our ambition.
Weve raised $60m within a year most recently a $40m raise led by Air Street Capital with participation from Creandum and Madrona. We are a small AI-native high-leverage team and proven PMF with over 400000 warm candidates in the network. Currently ninety percent of client acquisition is through an inbound self-serve motion with no human in the loop. We are in London and more recently San Francisco and New York.
Our career is one of the most important things in our life with each move a far-reaching decision but theres no-one offering help fairly and for free. When taking the next step in their career most people can only access 1% of the available options.
On the flip side recruitment is insanely inefficient for companies. Hiring the right people is the most consequential thing a company can do yet AI has for the most part failed to make things better.
Jack is an AI agent that finds your next job and helps you land it. Jill is an AI agent for hiring already helping thousands of companies make their next great hire.
Both are connected and working together to deeply understand you - making direct introductions and saving you from sending or reviewing applications.
The last major technological shift in recruitment created LinkedIn. The next great shift is here. The world of work is changing faster than we expected. Finding the right job or the right person has never mattered more. Or been more complicated. Soon everyone will have an AI agent managing their career and every company will have an AI agent helping them hire. Creating a fair and frictionless job market for the first time.
Our mission: end the era of wasted human potential. We believe the only way to fix the system is to rebuild both sides and make them work together.
Youll build the financial backbone that takes Jack & Jill through $100m in revenue. We need a hands-on high-agency leader to build a lean AI-first finance function who can also act as a thought partner to the CEO and the rest of the company including on the complex economics of scaling an inference heavy marketplace.
FP&A and unit economics. Own forecasting planning and budgets and the unit economics across both sides of the marketplace. Finding the balance between aggression and discipline.
Pricing and commercial strategy. Build the pricing models and shape how we make money as we scale.
Board and investor reporting. Produce board-quality reporting and manage our relationships with existing investors.
Fundraising. Work with the CEO on the next and subsequent rounds from the data room and the model to supporting in investor conversations.
Cash and controls. Own cash and own or directly oversee close accounting audit and tax.
An AI-first function. Choose the tools automation and dashboards that let a small finance team do the work of a much larger one.
You will join one of the most talent-dense teams in the world: ex-founders (two thirds of the team) former CTOs published academics thought leaders hypergrowth veterans and people with multiple exits often in the same person. Everyone is an overachiever and we all know what it takes to win.
We move at lightning-speed ship daily have agents that can do as much of the lifting as our humans and we work exceptionally hard.
We also work in person - were 5 days a week together in our office in Shoreditch alongside offices in SF and NYC.
