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.

- Own Claude at Rillet – become our internal Claude expert.

- Track progress on key initiatives on behalf of the CEO – proactively flagging risks, identifying roadblocks early, and ensuring the right people are unblocked and moving forward

- Prepare internal and external communications on behalf of the founders, including investor updates and board materials

- Apply analytical horsepower across all functions to generate insights that drive decisions – whether that's modeling sales efficiency in GTM, analyzing retention trends in Customer Experience, building headcount plans in HR, or stress-testing unit economics in Finance

- Run operational processes across internal ops functions

- Project-manage initiatives that span multiple stakeholders and require strong follow-through

- Serve as a connective layer across the organization — making sure decisions get made and nothing falls through the cracks

- Proficient with Claude, you have used it extensively and know how to get the most out of it

- A track record of delivering in fast-moving, ambiguous environments with minimal hand-holding

- Executional by nature

- Strong analytical skills: comfortable building models, interpreting data, and turning insights into action

- Exceptional written and verbal communication: you can draft a crisp investor update and a clear internal Slack message with equal ease
