About HappyRobot

Autonomous AI workers that communicate, coordinate, and operate at scale across the real economy. Backed by Y Combinator and a16z.

About the role

We are hiring our first Strategic Finance & Business Operations hire to help build the finance function from the ground up and drive high-impact projects across the business. This is a foundational role equal parts strategic finance leader and operator, splitting time between strategic finance (50%) and project-based business operations (50%).

What they're looking for

  • 2 to 5 years of experience with a strong foundation in investment banking, private equity, or consulting, followed by experience at a high-growth technology company (Series A to D preferred)
  • You have built financial models extensively. Excel and Google Sheets are extensions of your brain
  • You thrive in ambiguity. You do not need a playbook. You write the playbook
  • High agency, low ego. You will build a board deck in the morning and chase down a missing invoice in the afternoon. No task is beneath you
  • Exceptional judgment and prioritization. You know the difference between what is important and what is urgent
  • Strong communicator who can distill complexity into clear, actionable recommendations for founders and leadership
