JOB-1577
A Seed-stage startup that builds an AI-native platform for accounting firms is hiring a product lead who comes from the finance side. The role suits someone with real accounting or financial-services depth who wants to convert that expertise into durable software.
Day to day
- Lead discovery work and customer research for the product, including user interviews and process mapping, and shape the roadmap with the technical and executive founders
- Work inside the product as a user would, such as running a real close, and feed those lessons into roadmap choices
- Pair up with product engineers on specifying needs, and with the applied AI team on evaluation methodology, datasets and reliability
- Design and ship modest customer-facing features with the help of AI coding tools; no engineering degree needed
- Study production workflows to keep AI performance strong across the monthly close, audit, tax and bookkeeping
- Guide UI and UX choices with a high standard for quality
Who thrives here
- Three to eight years in accounting, tax, audit or finance, or in strategy consulting with hands-on financial work
- Domain depth in financial services or fintech
- Evidence that you have built something using AI coding agents, plus a grasp of client, server and database basics
- Comfort collaborating closely with users and software engineers
- A plus: having run an accounting practice, chief-of-staff experience, or an operator-generalist background, and a basic sense of design
On-site in New York, NY. Visa transfers considered.
