At Solve Intelligence, we're building something people actually want - and we have the revenue and traction to prove it. The Role: Financial Operations Lead Less than 24 months since launch, we are adding 7 figures of ARR per month, we have raised $60M USD, and we are quadrupling headcount this year. We've built a world-class team of AI PhDs, engineers, and patent attorneys. Now, we need a high-energy, ambitious Financial Operations Lead to help us scale to $1B+ ARR. You'll be our first dedicated finance hire, based in London and working directly with the founders. Until now, finance has not been run by any single person. Your job is to own it end-to-end: get the fundamentals running flawlessly, then build the processes, tooling, and budgets that scale us to 100+ people across our offices and our continued revenue growth. This isn't a CFO-strategist role, and it isn't bookkeeping. It's for a hands-on generalist who understands accounting deeply, executes relentlessly, and is happy to go invoice-by-invoice in the morning, build the company budget in the afternoon, and model financials in the evening. What you'll own: Payments (AP): Own supplier payments end-to-end. Lead vendor negotiations, approval workflows, invoices paid on time, and duplicates or double-payments caught before they happen. Billing & Collections (AR): Own customer invoicing across our 1,000+ law firm and enterprise clients. Partner with RevOps to collect our backlog of overdue invoices fast and keep cash flowing in. The Monthly Close: Run our external accountants to an accurate, on-time close every month; numbers we trust, and clean data behind the board and investor reporting that the CEO owns. Processes & Tooling: Design and implement our finance stack from scratch. Approvals, procurement, spend management, Billing, and more. Choose tools that scale and automate aggressively with AI. Budgets & Financial Culture: Work directly with the founders to build our first budgeting and approval processes (hiring, marketing, conferences, offices, etc) and partner closely with every team. Help the founders instil a culture where money is not free. Vendor Negotiation & Cash: Negotiate pricing and contracts with suppliers - everything from software to office space - and steward the $60M we've raised: payroll and vendors always paid, cash put to work safely. About Solve Intelligence We are the fastest-growing startup transforming Intellectual Property. Our AI platform handles everything from invention harvesting and patent generation through to litigation and licensing. Growth: 20-30% MoM revenue growth; 8 figures of ARR just 2 years since launch. Market: 600+ IP teams across 6 continents, including Tier-1 firms like DLA Piper, tech giants, and boutiques. Impact: Users report 50-90% efficiency and quality improvements. Backing: $60M from Y Combinator, 20VC, Microsoft, Thomson Reuters, and the founders of top companies like Stripe, Perplexity, Tinder, Deel, Hugging Face, and Canva. See our Series B announcement. Who You'll Work With You'll be joining a founding team with deep pedigree: Sanj (CRO): PhD in AI, ex-Huawei R&D, former lead at Magic Carpet AI (acquired). Chris (CEO): PhD in AI, published researcher, ex-Dyson and Alan Turing Institute. Angus (CTO): MEng Computer Science, ex-Qualcomm and Coremont (Brevan Howard). Who You Are We are a high-performance culture. To thrive here: You get your hands dirty: You'll happily go line-by-line through invoices, the CRM, and the bank to make things clean - then fix the process so it stays clean. It's detail-obsessed: Duplicate invoices, overdue payments, wrong pricing - nothing gets past you. You have high agency: There's no playbook and no finance team behind you (yet). You find the mess, own it, and fix it. You're a business partner, not a back-office cop: You work close to sales and the wider team, helping everyone spend smarter and move faster. You're ambitious: You'll do the dirty work now because you want to build the finance function as we scale. What You Bring Must-Haves: 5+ years in finance at high-growth tech companies - e.g., FP&A lead/head, finance ops, or a similar generalist finance role - now hungry for broader scope. Deep fluency in accounting - you can run external accountants to an on-time close - without needing to be an accountant yourself. A track record of implementing finance processes, tooling, and automation that scale with a fast-growing company. Strong modelling skills across budgets, forecasts, P&L, and cash. Exceptionally clear written and verbal communication. Preferred & Nice-to-Haves: First/early finance hire experience: You've built a finance function from scratch before. Procurement & negotiation: Experience negotiating vendor contracts and pricing. Treasury: Experience managing cash and liquidity at scale. Accounting foundation: An accounting qualification (ACA/ACCA/CIMA) or accounting background. Tooling mastery: Experience with modern finance stacks (e.g., ERP/accounting, spend management, billing & AR systems), and experience leveraging AI across everything you do. What's In It For You? Compensation: Competitive base + significant equity - true ownership in a high-growth startup. Founding Impact: Be finance hire , build the function from the ground up, and grow into leading it as we scale. Support: Full visa sponsorship and private medical insurance. Perks: Free meals and the chance to work with the smartest minds in AI. Ready to own the financial engine behind the rocket ship? Apply now.

The Role This role is the technical spearhead of our consultancy client's new-world work. You'll operate much like a startup CTO, working in a small pod, typically alongside a Delivery Lead, and taking ownership of the end-to-end technical execution of client engagements, from scoping and system design through to build and rollout. This is genuinely forward-deployed work. You'll be embedded within the client's environment, working with their real data and operating within their security and technology landscape. The expectation is to have a working prototype within the first few days of an engagement, with feedback and iteration happening every couple of days. Successful POCs are then taken through to MVP within weeks. Between engagements, you'll help extend our internal AI platform and turn what you've proven in the field into accelerators, templates and playbooks - making each engagement faster, smarter and more effective than the last. What You'll Be Doing Building working AI proofs on real client data during Assess engagements - the prototype is the discovery tool, built while the value case is made Delivering client POCs and MVPs: RAG pipelines, agent architectures, LLM integrations and protocol-driven tooling (MCP, tool orchestration) Iterating in short loops: demoing every few days, taking feedback, changing course without ceremony Engineering for production from day one: guardrails, security and integration into the client's estate, scalability and telemetry - designed inside the build, not bolted on Proving trustworthiness with evals: golden datasets, automated evaluation pipelines, accuracy and drift monitoring - and hill-climbing on the results Wrangling client data: pipelines, messy edge cases, integrations that are harder than they look Owning and evolving our internal AI platform; codifying repeatable field patterns into reusable assets. Leading advanced technical sessions in our upskilling programme, and upskilling client engineers during Transform engagements Evaluating emerging AI tools, frameworks and protocols, and making pragmatic adoption calls Strong software engineering foundations - clean code, testing, CI/CD, production mindset - with strong general-purpose programming (e.g. Python, TypeScript) and proficiency in 2+ modern languages Full-stack capability: enough front-end, back-end and data engineering to build the whole thing yourself Hands-on production LLM and agent experience: prompt engineering, agent workflows, RAG, tool orchestration and MCP - with evidence you've shipped AI users actually rely on, and how you proved it could be trusted Evaluation-driven habits: golden datasets, eval frameworks, guardrails - you measure whether it works rather than asserting it does Client-facing delivery experience, and comfort with the constraints of enterprise environments: security, compliance, legacy integration High agency and comfort with ambiguity - you can operate with minimal supervision in a client's world A value instinct: you can explain what a build is worth in business terms, and say when something isn't worth building Vector databases, embeddings, fine-tuning Former founder or startup experience Open-source contributions or visible AI side projects

What You'll Be Doing Building working AI proofs on real client data during Assess engagements - the prototype is the discovery tool, built while the value case is made Delivering client POCs and MVPs: RAG pipelines, agent architectures, LLM integrations and protocol-driven tooling (MCP, tool orchestration) Iterating in short loops: demoing every few days, taking feedback, changing course without ceremony Engineering for production from day one: guardrails, security and integration into the client's estate, scalability and telemetry - designed inside the build, not bolted on Proving trustworthiness with evals: golden datasets, automated evaluation pipelines, accuracy and drift monitoring - and hill-climbing on the results Wrangling client data: pipelines, messy edge cases, integrations that are harder than they look Owning and evolving our internal AI platform; codifying repeatable field patterns into reusable assets. Leading advanced technical sessions in our upskilling programme, and upskilling client engineers during Transform engagements Evaluating emerging AI tools, frameworks and protocols, and making pragmatic adoption calls Strong software engineering foundations - clean code, testing, CI/CD, production mindset - with strong general-purpose programming (e.g. Python, TypeScript) and proficiency in 2+ modern languages Full-stack capability: enough front-end, back-end and data engineering to build the whole thing yourself Hands-on production LLM and agent experience: prompt engineering, agent workflows, RAG, tool orchestration and MCP - with evidence you've shipped AI users actually rely on, and how you proved it could be trusted Evaluation-driven habits: golden datasets, eval frameworks, guardrails - you measure whether it works rather than asserting it does Client-facing delivery experience, and comfort with the constraints of enterprise environments: security, compliance, legacy integration High agency and comfort with ambiguity - you can operate with minimal supervision in a client's world A value instinct: you can explain what a build is worth in business terms, and say when something isn't worth building Vector databases, embeddings, fine-tuning Former founder or startup experience Open-source contributions or visible AI side projects
