About Clark:

Every audit answers one question: can I trust this? For 150 years, people have answered it by hand. Clark is changing that.
We build AI that doesn’t just assist auditors. It does the audit work itself. More than 35 CPA firms already use Clark to run audit fieldwork faster and at equal or better quality. Audit is where we start. Our mission is to build the trust infrastructure layer for the AI economy, and we’re only getting started.
We’re a small, hard-working team backed by top investors. We take ownership and judge ourselves by results. If you want to change how an entire profession works, you’ll fit in here.

  • Represent Clark in select internal and external engagements

  • Help build a culture of excellence, transparency, and ownership

 

Who You Are

 
  • 2+ years of experience in strategy, operations, consulting, or a related field—even better if B2B tech, SaaS, or a high-growth startup

  • Highly organized, analytical, and capable of owning turnkey execution

  • Exceptional communicator and relationship-builder across all levels

  • Thrive in a fast-paced, fully onsite environment with direct access to decision-makers

Bonus

  • Exposure to AI, enterprise SaaS, infrastructure, or accounting/audit sectors

  • Early-stage startup experience

 

How We Work

 
  • Fully onsite in NYC, five days a week — no remote or hybrid

  • High-pace, high-ownership, and direct reporting to Clark leadership

  • Your results drive your recognition and growth

 

Compensation & Benefits

 
  • Competitive salary + meaningful early-stage equity

  • Comprehensive healthcare, dental, and vision coverage

  • Unlimited PTO (and we mean it)

  • Wellhub Platinum membership (gyms, studios, wellness apps)

  • Dinner provided every night you’re in the office

  • Top-tier equipment and tools of your choice
