About The Position

Abacum is the leading Business Planning solution for finance teams to drive performance. By automating reporting, enabling collaboration, and simplifying planning and forecasting, we help finance teams shift from number crunching to driving strategic decisions. Founded in 2020 by two former CFOs, we’ve grown into a global team of 100+ people across 30+ nationalities. Headquartered in New York, we have offices in Toronto and Barcelona. We’re trusted by industry leaders such as Dish Networks, Strava, BetterUp, Kajabi, JG Wentworth, Abridge, Cortex, and hundreds more. We have raised over $100m, closing in June 2025 our $60M Series B, led by Scale Venture Partners, with the strong participation of Cathay Innovation, Y Combinator, Atomico, Creandum, and angel operators from Adyen, Zapier, and Twitch. Our mission is ambitious and we can’t do it alone - join Abacum as we build the future of Business Planning! The Role You'll spend real time on both sides of AI transformation here: shipping AI-powered workflows that solve real problems, and making sure the rest of Abacum can actually run with AI day to day. One day you're building an agent that saves a team hours of manual work. The next you're in a room turning a skeptical function into believers, or figuring out what "good with AI" should look like for a team that's never had the chance to learn. You'll own the foundation for all of it: a structured AI baseline across every function, org-wide guidelines for how AI shows up in hiring and performance reviews, and the work that builds real AI fluency across the company: tandem sessions, function-specific training, skill repositories, best-practice sharing, and a growing network of AI champions.

Requirements

4-6 years of professional experience owning a project end-to-end in a fast-moving, cross-functional environment. Comfortable being judged on outcomes, not process.
A strong presenter and communicator. You can walk into a room, or a Slack thread, and make a non-obvious idea land with people who weren't already convinced.
Hands-on experience building with AI tools: You have hands-on experience with LLM APIs, automation tools (n8n, Zapier, Make), and basic scripting (Python/SQL). You can build agents, connect systems, and ship real workflows end-to-end.
Comfortable designing and running structured programs, training sessions, or onboarding motions, even if that's never been your formal title.
High ownership and intensity: You take full ownership of problems, move fast, and push things to completion. You’re comfortable operating with urgency and ambiguity.
Ambitious and driven: You want to have an outsized impact. You’re motivated to build something exceptional and obsessed with making Abacum the most AI-native company in our space.

Nice To Haves

Fintech, FP&A, or finance-adjacent SaaS experience is a meaningful plus.

Responsibilities

Build and maintain a structured AI baseline across every function detailing where teams stand today, what's blocking adoption, and what "good" looks like next. Feed that into org-wide AI guidelines.
Run tandem sessions and training that cover both AI features within the tools teams already use and general AI skills such as prompting, judgment, best practices for day-to-day work. Help maintain skill repositories, org-wide and function-specific, so training tracks what's actually relevant to each team.
Build AI-powered workflows and automations yourself that solve real operational problems across the organization. Ship a first version, get feedback, iterate, and know when to move on to the next opportunity.
Partner on structured enablement, training and comms, for automations as they ship, so adoption is part of the release, not an afterthought.
Grow and support a cross-functional network of AI champions, with a real point of view on where that network should expand next.
Own AI adoption and fluency tracking at the org-capability level over time, both general skill level and adoption of specific shipped work, not just per automation.
