About Assembled

Great customer support requires human agents and AI in perfect balance, and Assembled is the only unified platform that orchestrates both at scale. Companies like Canva, Etsy, and Robinhood use Assembled to coordinate their entire support operation — in-house agents, BPOs, and AI — in a single operating system. With AI Agents that resolve cases end-to-end, AI Copilot for agent assistance, and AI-powered workforce management that optimizes both human and AI capacity, Assembled helps teams deliver faster, better service while making smarter decisions about how to staff and automate. Backed by $71M from NEA, Emergence Capital, and Stripe, we're building the platform that makes AI and human collaboration actually work.

The role

As our first CFO, you'll own finance end-to-end and partner with our leadership team on decisions that shape the company. Key challenges we face today are: redefining pricing architecture across seat-based and usage-based products, managing unit economics against evolving AI infrastructure costs, and creating a bundling strategy across our product portfolio.

Along with traditional finance responsibilities, you’ll define how finance operates in an AI-native company. We hold a strong opinion that most "we need more ops" asks are really "our systems are messy." A clean Salesforce, clean financial stack, and Claude agents do most of the work that used to justify headcount. Finance should set the template for how every function operates.

What you'll own
  • FP&A end-to-end: operating model, unit economics, planning, forecasting, and variance

  • Capital strategy: burn management, cash planning, runway, and decisions across debt, equity, and strategic transactions

  • Operating cadence: month-end close, monthly forecast lock, monthly P&L review, board reporting, and external audit

  • Revenue operations: Salesforce and other key GTM systems, quota and capacity planning, deal desk, and advising on go-to-market strategy

  • Pricing and packaging (co-owned with Product and GTM): seat-based WFM, usage-based Agents, and the bundling strategy across both

  • Team: hire for and lead a finance function that scales with the business

About you
  • Well rounded. You've owned a mix of responsibilities across FP&A, accounting, and more. Maybe you have some non-finance background, too

  • AI-pilled. You're on top of the latest models (Opus vs. Sonnet), implement AI in your day-to-day workflows, and keep your teams on the cutting edge

  • SaaS fluent. You know the drivers of a SaaS business cold. Ideally you've seen $30M → $100M

  • Board-facing. You can translate analysis into clean narratives for senior leadership and investors and drive them to clear decisions

  • Hands on. You subscribe to the Nat Friedman-ism that "the cultural prohibition on micromanagement is harmful"

We know great candidates don’t always meet every requirement listed in a job description. If the role excites you and you believe you can make an impact at Assembled, we encourage you to apply. We value diverse perspectives and are committed to building an inclusive workplace where everyone feels like they belong and has the opportunity to do their best work. We look forward to hearing from you!
