What's Clyde - Clyde is an end-to-end product protection platform that is re-thinking the way retailers increase loyalty and drive revenue, and the way customers manage their purchases. We are tackling the $50B per year extended warranty market and becoming the de facto solution in the space by leveraging an intense focus on product, design, and customer experience. Clyde delivers product protection plans directly to consumers as they shop, owning the relationship from purchase to claim submission to resolution. We know that the relationship between retailers and their customers is far from over after checkout, so we’re building products to deliver value at every stage of this relationship.

As Clyde’s first accounting hire, this person will make an immediate and substantial business impact by owning financial and statutory reporting processes as well as helping manage our financial systems and internal controls. The ideal candidate is an analytical thinker who enjoys working cross-functionally and is excited to roll up his or her sleeves and serve as an integral part of a rapidly growing startup. This role reports to the CFO.
