## About the role

ERGO NEXT is building its Finance organization to be AI-native — starting with reinventing how we forecast the business from the ground up. We're looking for a Strategic Finance Manager, AI & Forecasting to help lead this transformation: someone with strong core strategic finance fundamentals who is equally excited to redesign forecasting, planning, and reporting workflows around AI/LLM-based tools rather than layering AI on top of legacy spreadsheet processes. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- Lead the redesign of the topline revenue forecasting process from the ground up, using AI/LLM-based tools and workflows in place of legacy manual, spreadsheet-driven approaches
- Partner with Finance and Data Science to identify, evaluate, and implement AI tools and agentic workflows that improve the speed, accuracy, and scalability of forecasting and planning
- Drive long-range and annual planning process while building repeatable, AI-assisted modeling and reporting frameworks
- Spearhead strategic finance activities applying AI-driven analysis to accelerate diligence and scenario modeling
- Partner cross-functionally to define and automate KPI tracking, using AI to surface insights and recommendations faster than traditional analysis allows
- Prepare Board materials and executive presentations, incorporating AI-generated analysis and scenario modeling to sharpen the narrative
