Vice President of Finance

Wisedocs is a rapidly growing venture-backed AI platform transforming how companies in the insurance industry analyze claims. We’ve raised ~$20 M USD from top investors, support 100+ team members globally, serve 90+ customers across North America and Australia, and are doubling revenue every year.  

Our mission is clear: make it simple and accessible for any organization in the insurance to automate what used to take hours of manual work and surface the insights that matter. 

Built by founders who’ve experienced the claims process themselves, Wisedocs combines deep domain experience with next-gen AI. Our models are trained on 100 million+ documents, and our platform turns chaotic record-stacks into clean, structured timelines, summaries and defensible outputs, with built in expert human oversight (human in the loop).  

You’ll join a mission-driven team that values innovation, collaboration and meaningful impact, where every day you’re helping organizations cut through complexity, make smarter decisions faster, and ultimately support people in claims journeys who often count on us when it matters most.  

If you’re excited about building intelligent products, shaping workflows at scale, and being part of a high-growth company that’s rewriting the rules of document analytics in regulated industries, come join us at Wisedocs. 

Role Summary 
Reporting directly to the CEO, the VP of Finance will play a critical role in the strategic management and financial oversight of the organization. You will be the first, full time, senior finance leader at Wisedocs and joining at an exciting time. As the VP of Finance, you will be a key member of the executive team, responsible for driving the company’s financial strategy and operations during a period of rapid growth and scaling.
