Strategic Finance & Operations Associate
About The Position
Profound is on a mission to help companies understand and control their AI presence. We are creating a new category at the intersection of AI, search, and brand visibility, helping brands measure and influence how they show up across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and beyond. We are hiring a Strategic Finance and Operations Associate as a high-impact, early finance hire to help build the financial backbone of one of the fastest-growing companies in AI. This is a true Swiss army knife role, hands-on, fast-moving, and high-visibility. You will partner with every team at Profound, and no two weeks will look the same. The ideal candidate holds themselves to a high bar, moves quickly without sacrificing precision, and thrives when given ownership to lead work from start to finish.
Requirements
- 3 to 5 years of experience in strategic finance, FP&A, investment banking, management consulting, or a similarly rigorous analytical role, with high-growth SaaS experience strongly preferred
- Technically sharp and able to turn ambiguous data into a narrative that drives strategic decision-making
- Fluent in SaaS business models and able to connect metrics to the operating decisions that move them
- Excellent written and verbal communicator who can make complex ideas land with any audience
- High ownership and low ego, caring more about getting it right than getting credit
- Naturally curious with a bias toward action, eager to dig in, figure it out, and move things forward without waiting to be asked
Responsibilities
- Drive strategic analyses that inform how we price, invest, and compete, translating complex data into clear recommendations for the business
- Partner with Sales, RevOps, Marketing, and Engineering as the connective tissue between Finance and the rest of the company
- Help build the financial infrastructure for a company expanding internationally
- Build and maintain financial models that drive planning, investment decisions, and long-term growth
- Take on high-impact ad hoc projects that do not fit neatly into a job description but provide outsized leverage to the business
