About Kick

About Kick Kick is an applied AI company building the first self-driving accounting experience. Backed by General Catalyst and Felicis.

About the role

Kick is growing fast and is planning to soon raise capital to rapidly scale the organization. Our most important problems are cross functional and we need a high-agency problem solver to help us scale. You'll work directly with our CEO and Head of Finance & Operations to drive finance, operations and GTM projects to completion with high ownership so they scale to 100X without you. This role will primarily be project based, deployed to the most critical projects in the company. Examples include:

What they're looking for

  • 3–7 years post-grad, with experience in MBB, investment banking, or a former chief of staff role
  • Strong financial acumen building models from scratch and understands how ARR, NRR, gross margin and rev rec connect
  • Hands-on builder who ships working dashboards, automations and processes on their own
  • AI-native: uses Claude or ChatGPT daily and has built workflows with tools like Clay, n8n, Zapier or Claude Code
  • High agency: runs several projects at once and makes progress without a playbook
  • Clear writer and communicator, credible with the CEO, investors and candidates
More about this role

This role will primarily be project based, deployed to the most critical projects in the company. Examples include:

  • Optimize our finance tech stack to operate near autonomously (e.g., upgrade billing process, optimize vendor evaluation & payment processes)
  • Drive key reporting efforts (e.g., improved live ARR tracking, margin analyses, projections, etc.)
  • Support fundraising and investor relations, from the model and data room to investor updates
  • Build our RevOps foundation: document the sales process and CRM setup, own funnel reporting, and find what drives conversion as outbound scales
  • Optimize our customer support workflows, improving our agents to deliver best-in-class service
  • Build AI agents and automations that give the team leverage, like surfacing buying signals from LinkedIn and X
