About The Position

Maximor is building the AI operating system for the CFO office, with Audit-Ready AI Agents that connect to a company's existing finance stack to automate processes like order-to-cash, record-to-report, treasury management, financial reporting, and audit readiness. The company has raised $9M and is defining a new category in AI for finance. This role is designed for an individual who can adapt to evolving needs, working directly with founders on critical tasks that may include understanding customer workflows, developing ROI models, conducting market research, and contributing to category definition through various forms of content and engagement. The emphasis is on a generalist approach, with a strong preference for individuals who can build and execute, leverage AI tools effectively, and possess clear thinking and writing skills. The role is for early-career individuals with a focus on learning and growth, rather than a predefined career ladder.

Unusual curiosity and a drive to explore topics in depth.

Build necessary tools, prototypes, and analyses, such as internal tools with AI, pricing analyses, customer event execution, and metrics dashboards.
Help define the company's category through original research, customer stories, founder content, conference talks, and building relationships within the accounting and finance industry.
