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.

- Partner with functional leaders across the company on org design, headcount planning, leveling, and team structure.

- Coach managers on feedback, performance, team dynamics, and difficult conversations.

- Own employee relations end-to-end, including investigations, performance improvement, and separations, in coordination with counsel.

- Run performance and compensation cycles, from calibration through communication, in partnership with People Ops.

- Turn people data into decisions and build the playbooks that let the company scale.

- Use AI to automate the repeatable parts of People work so your time goes to judgment, coaching, and strategy.

WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR

- You have 7+ years as an HRBP or People Partner in high-growth environments. You've scaled through the 150–500 range.

- You have deep employee relations experience and multi-state US employment fluency. International experience is a plus.

- You've run performance and compensation cycles yourself, not just supported them.

- Leaders trust you fast, and you're direct with them, including when the answer is no.

- You're data-fluent and already use AI tools to automate your own work. At Rillet this is a requirement, not a bonus. You communicate with precision, whether it's a Slack message, a comp explanation, or a hard conversation.

The expected base salary range for this role is $180,000–$230,000 in San Francisco. Final compensation within this range will depend on factors including skills, experience, qualifications, and the scope of the role. This role is also eligible for equity and benefits.
