- Experience implementing or owning an ERP system
- Experience managing or supporting annual financial audits
- Comfort operating with limited structure and building processes from scratch
More about this role
Specter’s mission is to help customers automate the physical world.
Today, we build video sensors with state-of-the-art AI agents that answer any question, anywhere in their environments. Our systems can automatically detect and reason about any physical activity captured on camera, from security incidents (e.g. perimeter intrusion, theft, LPR), to safety monitoring (e.g. PPE detection, injured people), to operational efficiency (e.g. material tracking, congestion monitoring). We offer both long range wireless and wired sensor variants to suit any deployment.
Specter has proven success across several verticals and is now scaling quickly. The company’s operating system is being built now: the financial discipline to plan and allocate resources, the compliance and vendor processes required to serve high-stakes customers, and the operating cadence that helps leadership make better decisions faster.
