About Avante

Ask any employee to explain their benefits, and you'll likely get a confused shrug. Ask any HR leader if their benefits investment is working, and you'll get an honest "I don't know." For employees, benefits are confusing and overwhelming. For HR and finance leaders, benefits are the second-largest expense, but they lack the visibility to know what's working and what's wasted.

At Avante, we're changing that. We're an AI-native benefits intelligence platform built to turn benefits complexity into clarity. For employees, our agent Carly provides personalized, always-on benefits guidance. For benefits leaders, our agent Ava monitors their entire program, surfaces what needs attention, and delivers strategic intelligence on costs, utilization, and outcomes in seconds. Together, these agents create a closed-loop system where employee engagement data informs benefits strategy, and smarter strategy improves the employee experience.

We're based in Seattle and New York, and work 4 days a week in the office (one day remote). We're growing fast, serving enterprise customers like Samsung, Zscaler, and News Corp.

The Role

What You'll Do

  • Own the model, planning, and the numbers. Own forecasting and planning, build FP&A, accounting, and financial systems, and give the leadership team and Board a clear, current read on the business at all times. Define, track, and communicate the metrics that run the business: ARR, NRR, churn, gross margin, cash flow, and LTV/CAC.
  • Steward capital and own board and investor relations. Act as a steward of capital, tell the ongoing financial and strategic story, engage investor networks, and represent the finance voice at board meetings.
  • Stand up systems and controls. Put the right systems, oversight, and controls in place to support the next phase of our growth, without slowing the business down.
  • Work in sync with the CEO and CoS on operational rigor: Bring an independent point of view and lead transformative, cross-functional bets in capital deployment, resourcing, product pricing and how we constitute and run the team.
  • Turn strategy into operating plans. Translate the CEO's and leadership team's priorities into financial and operating plans, budgets, and targets, then hold the business accountable to them with clear metrics and honest reporting.
  • Run the operating backbone. Oversee short-term gaps in the organization; legal and contracts (including managing outside counsel), administration, and business operations. (Go-to-market and revenue operations sit with the CRO).
  • Use AI as a core part of how you work. We're an AI company. We expect this leader to change everyone’s idea of what is possible in this job because of how they use AI to model, analyze, draft, and build their own workflows.
  • Build and lead the team. Decide what we hold in-house versus with external partners and contractors, and when, fractionally and full-time. Sequence the hires and develop the people who run finance and operations day to day.

What We're Looking For

  • Direct experience taking a company through series Seed into growth rounds and deploying meaningful capital.
  • 8+ years operating across functions: FP&A, FinOps, revenue or business operations, investing or diligence, or operating roles in high-growth B2B software.
  • A track record of influencing decisions well beyond finance, as a business partner, not just a finance operator.
  • A bias to build, not just to govern. Your instinct is to create and solve, not only to stabilize and control.
  • Experience with fundraising and investor/board relations.
  • High ownership, a bias toward action, and comfort operating in ambiguity.
  • Based in or willing to be in New York or Seattle, on-site four days a week.

Nice to Have

  • Experience managing finance-adjacent functions such as people operations, business operations, and legal.
  • Experience moving a finance or operations function from fractional or outsourced to fully in-house.
  • Experience carrying a company from Series A into its growth stage.
  • Familiarity with HR, benefits, healthcare, or HR-technology buyers and markets.
  • Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, or related field required; MBA or CPA preferred.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
