What are the responsibilities and job description for the Founding Business Operations and Strategy position at Numeric?
About Numeric
Every business relies on accounting. Yet most software in the space was built in the early 2000s — clunky, slow, and far behind the curve on AI. Today, accountants are facing a growing, unsolved data problem as a consequence of complexity, data, and system fragmentation — and they lack the tools to solve it. The problems are real, hard, and increasingly urgent. But they’re solvable.
Enter Numeric — the modern financial data platform for accounting and finance. Weaving together data, workflows, and AI-first solutions, we’re empowering accounting teams to achieve verifiable, detailed financial data faster and make business decisions with greater confidence.
We have strong product market fit and a growing base of customers who love our product — including Anthropic, Plaid, Brex, Betterment, and many more. We’re backed by top-tier investors including Menlo Ventures, IVP, Founders Fund, and 8VC, along with founders and executives from Ramp, Segment, and other category-defining companies.
The Role
Numeric has reach an inflection point: customer demand is accelerating, our product surface is expanding, and the complexity of our business is growing quickly. For us to build a foundation for growth for many years to come, we need sharp, experienced operators who thrive in ambiguity, love solving hard problems and aren’t afraid to roll up their sleeves.
This role is ideal for someone with a consulting background and/or experience building 0-to-1 at an early-stage startup. You should want to not only analyze and understand, but dig into the sometimes unglamorous work of what’s needed across go-to-market, product & engineering, and operations. Some of the projects you might own in your first several months might be:
This is a high-visibility, high-ownership role with direct impact on the trajectory of the company.
This is a 100% in-person role based in our San Francisco or New York City office.
