Strategic Finance & Operations

Profound is the fastest-growing AI marketing platform, used by 15% of the Fortune 500 including Comcast, Estée Lauder, and Walmart, and innovators like Ramp, MongoDB, and Figma. It is where marketing teams do the work: research, briefs, content, campaigns, reporting, all in one place, alongside agents that carry the load with them.

Built on 2B+ real user prompts and growing, Profound’s data shows you what people ask AI and what the models say back. Profound's AI Marketer joins that data with deep context about our customers to find the opportunities worth acting on, and then puts agents to work: automating reporting, drafting content, auditing pages for readability, running competitive research. It measures what works and gets better every day.

We are hiring for Strategic Finance and Operations 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.

• 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

• 3 to 7 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
