Job Description

Profound is the marketing platform for the AI era. As people increasingly turn to ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini to decide what to buy, we give brands the intelligence to see how AI represents them and the Agents to act on it. Today, ~13% of the Fortune 500, plus companies like Ramp, Figma, Chime, Calendly, and DocuSign, use Profound to turn AI Search from a black box into a measurable growth channel. Backed by Lightspeed, Sequoia, Kleiner Perkins, and Khosla Ventures at a $1B valuation, we're a lean, fast-moving team across NYC, SF, Buenos Aires, and London, shipping at a relentless pace and defining a new category at the biggest shift in marketing in 25 years. If you want to do the best work of your career at the frontier of AI, come build it with us. We are hiring for Strategic Finance and Operations as a high-impact, early finance hire to help build the financial backbone of one of the fastest-growing companies in AI. This is a true Swiss army knife role, hands-on, fast-moving, and high-visibility. You will partner with every team at Profound, and no two weeks will look the same. The ideal candidate holds themselves to a high bar, moves quickly without sacrificing precision, and thrives when given ownership to lead work from start to finish.
