Full job description

About Runlayer AI is transforming how every company operates, but most enterprises are stuck. They want to move fast with AI Agents, tools, and workflows, but they can't do it safely. We're fixing that.

Our team built AI Actions for OpenAI, shipped Zapier Agents to millions of users, and launched the first remote MCP server with Anthropic. We helped establish the protocol, and now we're building the platform enterprises need to actually put AI to work.

Runlayer is one platform for MCPs, Skills, and Agents : purpose-built security, fine-grained governance, and complete observability so organizations can go all-in on AI across the entire company without the risk. We just raised a $30M Series A led by Felicis, with participation from Khosla Ventures, bringing our total raised to $42M. Already trusted by Gusto, Instacart, Opendoor, dbt Labs, and Decagon.

This is our first dedicated finance hire. You'll own strategic finance end to end: the operating model, monthly metrics reporting, capacity planning, pricing and unit economics, and accounting & tax close.

What you'll do

  • Own the operating model

  • Run monthly metrics reporting

  • Build and maintain live dashboards for ARR, pipeline, burn, and sales productivity

  • Own the finance tech stack: QuickBooks, Ramp, banking partners, billing system, including the integrations between them

  • Manage tax, revenue recognition, reporting requirements, & financial compliance

  • Manage the monthly accounting close with our accounting team

  • Partner with sales leadership on comp plans, quota design, capacity models

  • Prep board materials and support fundraising diligence

What we're looking for

  • 2+ years in investment banking or private equity, followed by 3+ years in strategic finance or FP&A at a high-growth startup

  • AI-native. You should already be using AI heavily in your own work

  • Experience at an enterprise sales company, ideally with infrastructure or usage-based focus

  • Strong modeling skills. Driver-based, easy to audit, built for other people to use

  • You've managed accounting closes

  • Comfortable building and owning the entire finance function

What We Offer We provide a competitive package designed to attract and retain top talent who can work effectively with enterprise customers.

  • Competitive salary and equity — compensation that reflects your expertise and customer-facing responsibilities.

  • Paid time off — paid vacation, paid sick leave, and paid parental leave.

  • Professional development — budget for conferences, courses, and certifications in AI, enterprise software, and customer success.

  • Top-tier equipment — your choice of laptop and accessories to create your ideal work environment.

  • Health benefits — comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage.

  • Customer interaction opportunities — work directly with innovative companies and see the immediate impact of your work.
