Job Description:

We're looking for a Finance & Business Operations Lead to own the financial and business infrastructure at Bluesky.

Job Responsibility:

  • Support tool procurement and onboarding, and maintain ongoing vendor relationships in partnership with the teams those vendors serve
  • Research and analyze vendors, tools, and partners relevant to strategic initiatives
  • bring structured recommendations to leadership
  • Track subscription costs, flag redundancies, and manage renewals proactively
  • Track budgets across teams, approving reimbursements, and flag variances before they become problems
  • Prepare financial reporting support, investor reporting, and board materials in coordination with the Strategy & Operations Senior Manager and COO
  • Manage invoice routing and expense reconciliation in coordination with our Operations Admin and our fractional finance team
  • Coordinate with the Recruiting team, our fractional finance team, and members of the leadership team to develop funding plans for headcount to support company strategy
  • Build automations and AI integrations into processes, where appropriate
  • Own business insurance end-to-end, including managing annual renewal cycles across all policy types (D&O, E&O, general liability, cyber, and others), maintain broker relationships, ensure applications are accurate, flag coverage gaps proactively
  • Coordinate with partners on tax compliance ensuring deadlines are met
  • Serve as a part of the broader Operations team to support cross-functional work

Requirements:

  • Have 6-8 years of operations experience at a high-growth startup, with significant time spent building 0 → 1 process
  • Thinks AI-first and aims to leverage technology to solve scaling challenges
  • Think in systems: when you see a recurring problem, you build something that makes it not recur
  • Can hold strategic and operational work simultaneously and understand working on a small team requires both
  • Are comfortable operating in a high agency, low ego environment where we move quickly and focus on results
  • Have owned vendor relationships and financial operations with enough depth to not need hand-holding on routine decisions

Nice to have:

  • Experience representing an operations function to leadership or cross-functional stakeholders
  • Familiarity with Ramp, Quickbooks, Rippling, Ironclad, Linear, Notion, Zapier, or similar tools
  • Background spanning operational systems, vendor management, and financial operations
  • Experience building operational infrastructure in a company that didn't have it yet
