Not improving it - replacing it. We’re building a new agentic stack called PQA - Prompt, Quote, Approve, designed for the enterprise, on a data model built for how pricing actually works today.\nWe’re Kleiner Perkins’ first incubation since Glean, led by second-time founders with successful exits, and a team of engineers from Snowflake, Databricks, Citadel, Meta, Robinhood, Brex, and so on. We’re in-person in San Francisco, and we’re just getting started.\nWhat you'll do\nBe Roadrunner's first finance hire - you'll own our financial health end-to-end and build the function from the ground up.\n\nSet up the systems, reporting, and processes that give leadership a clear picture of where we stand and where we're going.\n\nOwn our financial narrative for the board and investors - runway, burn, growth, and what it all means for the business.\n\nBe the finance partner to every team: helping Sales think about deal economics, helping leadership make headcount and budget decisions with real numbers.\n\nDecide what you handle yourself and what you outsource - you'll have the judgment to know the difference and own the outcomes either way.\n\nExample projects\nTake over financial operations from the founder and build the processes so nothing falls through the cracks - then make it scale.\n\nBuild our first real FP&A model: budgets, scenario plans, and a headcount plan that gives leadership the numbers to make big decisions with confidence.\n\nWhat you'll bring\nExperience running finance at a high-growth startup - ideally as the first or only finance hire.\n\nEqually strong as an operator and a strategist. You can get in the weeds and zoom out to the board level.\n\nGood judgment about what to build, what to buy, and what to outsource - and the ownership to see it through regardless.\n\nA real partner to the business, not a back-office function. You lean into the decisions, not just the reporting.\n\nA driver, not a passenger. You create structure where none exists and are comfortable with ambiguity.\n\nBased in SF or excited to relocate - we're an in-person team.\n\nBonus points if…\nYou've been the first finance hire at an early-stage company and know what zero-to-one feels like.\n\nYou've worn multiple hats - accounting, FP&A, RevOps, compliance - and know how they connect.\n\nWhat we offer\nMedical, dental, and vision benefits for you and your family.\n\nLunch and dinner, as well as snacks and coffee to keep you energized.\n\nTake what you need vacation policy.\n\nEqual opportunity\nWe value our differences, and we encourage all to apply - especially those whose identities are traditionally underrepresented in tech organizations. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, gender expression or identity, sexual orientation, ancestry, national origin, citizenship, age, marital status, veteran status, disability status, political belief, or any other characteristic protected by law. Roadrunner is an equal opportunity employer.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3090,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":true,"industries":["Sales Enablement"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-12T06:11:27Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":3,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.122,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":184,"expected_fill_days":30,"reasons":["conf:2","stale_co","ghost","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-11-11T05:49:22Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/roadrunner-founding-strategic-finance","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/roadrunner-founding-strategic-finance.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-11T12:43:53Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":22827,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-12T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":688329},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=688329"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Froadrunner-founding-strategic-finance"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":2,"usd":0.2},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Froadrunner-founding-strategic-finance"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Froadrunner-founding-strategic-finance"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/roadrunner-founding-strategic-finance\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Froadrunner-founding-strategic-finance"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":797408}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"roadrunner.ai","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":797408},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
