Rillet
Chicago, IL Full Time
POSTED ON 10/27/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 11/25/2026
What We Do

Rillet serves accounting and finance teams, the financial brains of their companies. Our job is to help them run the numbers with impossible speed, accuracy, and insight.

Rillet is the Agentic ERP built for modern finance teams. We help companies automate the most critical parts of finance, from closing the books and recognizing revenue to consolidating entities and reporting to investors. More than 600 companies run on Rillet, including Mercor, Scribe, and Function Health, and we partner with leading accounting firms including EY and KPMG.

We’re building in one of the largest software markets in the world, with the momentum to match. Rillet has raised more than $200M, is valued at $1B, and is backed by Sequoia, a16z, ICONIQ, Bain Capital Ventures, Oak HC/FT, and other leading investors. We’re using that backing to build the financial infrastructure for the next generation of companies and help every business run its numbers at the speed of AI.

Who We Are

Rillet’s pace is not for everyone. Intelligence is table stakes. To succeed here, you need extreme speed, agency, and flexibility.

The people who thrive at Rillet do not wait for assignments. They internalize the mission, design a strategy, and bring back results that are better, faster, and more creative than a manager could have asked for.

Our work revolves around our customers. The people who succeed here are energized by delivering what matters most, even when it was not part of the original plan.

Rillet is built on deep accounting expertise, and it takes people from many disciplines to build a category-defining company. You do not need to be an accountant to thrive here. You do need to care deeply about the problems we solve and the impact our customers can create. Together, we combine the precision of accounting with the speed, creativity, and ambition of AI-native software to power the financial core of the world’s fastest-growing companies while redefining what finance teams should expect from their software.

Who We Need

You’ll work closely with our Head of GTM and Business Development Manager to scale the sales pipeline and drive execution toward ambitious growth targets. As one of the first members of the GTM team, you’ll have a key role in shaping our strategy, testing new approaches, and building the foundation for Rillet’s long-term go-to-market success.

We’re primarily looking for teammates who are based near our New York City, San Francisco or Chicago offices (or willing to relocate). Team members work in-office Tuesdays and Thursdays, plus one additional flexible day. Certain roles may require additional in-office time based on function.

  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills—you can distill complex concepts into clear, conversational messaging.
  • Experience reaching out to finance or accounting decision-makers.
  • Strong understanding of financial operations and accounting concepts.
  • Proactive and action-oriented mindset—you take initiative.
  • Thrives in a dynamic, fast-paced environment while maintaining high attention to detail.
  • Strong organizational and time management skills with the ability to prioritize and execute across multiple projects.
  • Analytical and curious, you enjoy experimenting with outreach strategies and using data to inform decisions.
  • Experience working cross-functionally with GTM, product, and leadership teams.
