Do you want to be part of building what's next in human-AI collaboration?\nSema4.ai is transforming how enterprises adopt AI by making intelligent agents practical, safe, and scalable for real business workflows. We're solving hard technical problems at the intersection of LLMS, AI orchestration, enterprise systems integration, and production-grade reliability.\nWhat you'll experience:\nHard problems, real impact - Build systems that deliver measurable productivity and efficiency gains and bottom-line value for finance teams\nCutting-edge technology - Work at the frontier of Agentic AI, workflow orchestration, and enterprise-scale systems\nAccelerate your career growth - Work with world-class teams on leading-edge technology, pioneering customers, and world-class colleagues\nWe're a team of innovators in open source, big data, and automation-as-code. If you want to work on challenging technical problems with direct business impact alongside exceptional engineers and product builders, let's talk.\nThe Opportunity\nWe are looking for a Founding Product Manager to set and execute the multi-quarter strategy for Sema4.ai ’s AI finance agent portfolio. You'll decide which finance workflows we automate, in what order, with what level of autonomy - and how the underlying agent primitives (Runbooks, Actions, Document Intelligence, evals) need to evolve to support them. You'll be the senior product voice for finance agents internally and the face of the product externally with CFOs, controllers, and design partners.\nThis is a senior IC role with org-wide influence. You won't have direct reports on day one, but you'll set direction for the PMs, engineers, and applied AI folks working on adjacent surfaces, and you'll be expected to raise the product bar across the entire org.\nWhat You'll Do\nPrimary Focus:\nShape the multi-quarter strategy and roadmap for AI finance agents, and own execution and delivery\nMake the hard portfolio calls: where to go deep vs. broad, what to build vs. partner for, when an agent is good enough to ship vs. needs more rigorous evals.\nDrive the underlying platform requirements (Runbooks, Actions, Document Intelligence, HITL, observability, evals) that finance agents need\nDefine the company-level quality bar for agents that touch the ledger: accuracy targets, SLAs, auditability, controls posture, rollback.\nPartner with GTM leadership on positioning, packaging, and pricing for the finance portfolio; own the narrative we take to market.\nWork closely with our design partner companies to understand gaps and opportunities, and drive these learnings back into the product\nRaise the bar for how the broader product org thinks about agents\n\nWhat You Bring\nRequired Experience\n8+ years of product management experience, with a track record of shipping B2B SaaS or enterprise products at scale, including at least one product that materially moved business metrics.\nShipped AI/LLM-powered products in production and developed crisp opinions on evals, hallucination management, agent design, and the gap between flashy demos and customer-ready products.\nDeep working knowledge of finance operations: you can hold a 90-minute working session with a controller about three-way match, period close, accruals, and SOX-relevant controls without losing the room.\nDemonstrated influence beyond your direct scope - you've shaped roadmaps, platforms, or company strategy you didn't formally own.\nTechnical fluency to debate agent architecture, prompt/tooling design, RAG, eval frameworks, and integration patterns (ERPs, doc stores, messaging) with senior engineers as peers.\nExecutive presence with customers: you can run the room with a CFO and walk out with their next-quarter use case committed.\nCrisp written communication, sharp prioritization instincts, and a bias to ship - even when the data is incomplete.\n\nNice to have\nPrior staff/principal PM experience at an AI-native company or AI-forward fintech\nTime spent in-seat as a controller, FP&A leader, AP/AR director, or audit partner\nExperience navigating enterprise procurement and security review at the SOC 2 / SOX / data-residency level.\n\nHow We Work\nWe move fast and value autonomy.\n\nWe have a bias for action.\n\nWe write to think and communicate clearly.\n\nWe build together, not in silos.\n\nWe respect each other.\n\nWe value execution over plans, and customer impact over internal consensus.\n\nWhySema4.ai\nMission and impact: Work at the forefront of applied AI, helping global enterprises transform how finance operates and how decisions get made.\n\nAutonomy and ownership: Join a high-trust, high-impact environment where experienced builders own meaningful problems and ship quickly.\n\nLearning and growth: Collaborate with a seasoned team of product, engineering, and go-to-market leaders who have scaled category-defining companies.\n\nFlexible, people-first culture: Sema4.ai supports a modern, flexible work model that enables people to do their best work while balancing life outside of work.\n\nOur founding team that has already “done it” before, with world-class investors.\n\nBenefits\nOwnership: We believe that hard work should be rewarded. That’s why we offer equity to all our employees. We want everyone to be part of the value we are creating.\n\nHealth benefits: Our benefits package includes medical, dental, and vision coverage, with a portion of premiums covered by the company.\n\nRetirement: We offer a 401(k) pension plan with a matching contribution without age or service requirements.\n\nTime off: We care about your well-being and fulfillment outside of work. You are encouraged to plan your time off based on your personal needs and workload.\n\nOther perks: We reimburse you for annual wellbeing benefits of your choice. We also offer a work from home equipment allowance.\n\nTools for success: Top of the line equipment, access to training, courses, and the best AI tools in the market.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5944,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":8,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity","Flexible schedule","Retirement plans"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Artificial Intelligence","AI Agents"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-11T10:26:53Z"}],"liveness":{"score":12,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.437,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":78,"expected_fill_days":24,"reasons":["conf:10","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-09-24T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/sema4-founding-product-manager-finance","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/sema4-founding-product-manager-finance.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-09-24T07:31:01Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers"}}
