Tenstorrent is leading the industry on cutting-edge AI technology, revolutionizing performance expectations, ease of use, and cost efficiency. With AI redefining the computing paradigm, solutions must evolve to unify innovations in software models, compilers, platforms, networking, and semiconductors. Our diverse team of technologists have developed a high performance RISC-V CPU from scratch, and share a passion for AI and a deep desire to build the best AI platform possible. We value collaboration, curiosity, and a commitment to solving hard problems. We are growing our team and looking for contributors of all seniorities.

We are seeking a Finance Operations Specialist to join our growing Finance organization and help build the scalable operating foundation needed for the next stage of the company. This role will own and improve core finance processes, identify root causes of operational friction, and partner across Finance and the broader business to make work more efficient, controlled, and insight-driven.

You will play a critical role in transforming finance operations through disciplined process design, clear ownership, thoughtful change management, and practical automation. We are looking for a manager who is energized by solving ambiguous problems, has an appetite for using AI to improve how Finance works, and can turn ideas into durable processes that teams actually adopt.

This role is remote, based out of the United States.

We welcome candidates at various experience levels for this role. During the interview process, candidates will be assessed for the appropriate level, and offers will align with that level, which may differ from the one in this posting.


Who You Are

  • Own and continuously improve key Finance Operations processes, including process design, documentation, controls, service levels, escalation paths, and performance reporting.
  • Lead root-cause analysis for recurring operational issues, establish KPIs, identify trends and risks, and translate findings into corrective actions with measurable follow-through.
  • Build scalable operating procedures, playbooks, intake mechanisms, governance routines, and searchable guidance that support consistent execution as the company grows.
  • Partner with Finance leadership, technology and systems teams, and cross-functional stakeholders to deliver process improvements, automation, systems implementations, policy rollouts, and broader Finance transformation.

What We Need

  • You have improved end-to-end business processes and understand core finance operations such as procure-to-pay, accounts payable, expense management, purchasing, vendor management, close support, or financial reporting.
  • You bring strong analytical, project management, and change management skills, including advanced Excel or Google Sheets proficiency; experience with ERP, workflow, expense management, or reporting tools is a plus.
  • You are a curious, pragmatic, and detail-oriented problem solver with sound judgment around AI, automation, data quality, controls, security, and human oversight, and you can build trust, lead through ambiguity, and coach a team.

What You Will Learn

  • End-to-end Finance transformation, including the operating model, processes, controls, and systems that enable a high-growth organization.
  • Practical AI and automation in Finance, with experience evaluating and implementing responsible use cases that improve productivity, data quality, service delivery, and decision-making.
  • Cross-functional business partnership across Finance, Procurement, Legal, IT, People, and other teams, with a deeper understanding of how business decisions affect financial outcomes.
  • Scalable operations, governance, and change leadership, with opportunities to shape Finance’s operating model, expand your leadership scope, and take on broader responsibilities as the company grows.
