In July 2026, we crossed $2Bn in monthly delivered load value on the platform, and we're at ~$XM+ ARR and growing fast.\nOur AI-powered platform serves Haulers, Producers, and Contractors-optimizing truck routing, loaded-mile delivery, and project planning while delivering exceptional customer service through personalized AI agents.\nWe're a Series A company backed by Mucker Capital, and we're building the team that will take us from $XM to $XXM+ ARR.\nWhy This Role Exists\nTread has built a powerful company brain that is available for our internal team to power decision making and context setting, that helped power us to $XM in ARR. This is a unique and powerful asset that we believe can help us build a lean and incredibly fast AI driven finance operations practice. We believe that in extending our existing AI powered workflows, Tread can continue to scale revenue efficiently without a traditional Finance function. To get to $XXM+ and beyond, we need a dedicated AI-pilled finance professional who owns the entire revenue dollar journey from forecasting, modeling, biz-ops, and some business development. This individual will build the function, extend the agents in place, and create the playbooks that help accelerate our journey to revenue growth and profitability.\nWe're deliberately looking for someone from an investment banking or growth equity / private equity background who wants to stop advising from the outside and start operating from the inside. You already know how to model a business, pressure-test unit economics, and tell a crisp story to investors. Here you'll do all of that for a company whose numbers you actually own, sitting next to the founders as decisions get made.\nWhat You'll Own\nStrategic Finance & FP&A\nOwn the model. Build and maintain the company's operating model, budget, and rolling forecast - and make it the source of truth leadership runs the business on.\n\nUnit economics. Own the metrics that matter for a vertical SaaS + usage business: ARR, net revenue retention, CAC, payback, gross margin, magic number, and burn multiple. Identify where the economics break and which levers matter most.\n\nDecision support. Turn ambiguous questions - pricing changes, new segments, hiring plans, go/no-go on a big deal - into clear, quantified recommendations the team can act on.\n\nFundraising & Investor / Board\nBoard & investor materials. Build the board deck, the data room, and the reporting package. Own the numbers investors see and be able to defend every one of them.\n\nFundraising support. Partner with the CEO to run the next raise - model, narrative, diligence, and the financial engine room that keeps a process moving fast.\n\nCash & capital. Own cash-flow forecasting, runway, and scenario planning. Nobody at Tread should be surprised by the cash position.\n\nBusiness & Revenue Operations\nRevenue operations. Connect the quote-to-cash workflow - from deal to invoice to collections - and make sure ARR is live, reconciled, and trustworthy.\n\nOperating cadence. Run the rhythms that keep a scaling company aligned: KPI dashboards, weekly business reviews, and the metrics definitions everyone agrees on.\n\nCross-functional leverage. Partner with GTM on comp plans and pipeline math, and with product/ops on the cost and margin side of how we deliver.\n\nAI-Native Systems & Automation\nAutomate first, hire second. Design the finance and ops stack to run lean. Use AI tools - Claude, ChatGPT, and the modern automation layer - to handle reconciliations, variance narratives, data cleanup, reporting, and the busywork that eats an analyst's week.\n\nBuild the systems. Own the tooling - billing, ERP/accounting, CRM integrations, dashboards - and wire them together so data flows without manual handoffs.\n\nSet the standard. Establish how a modern, AI-first finance and ops function operates at Tread, and write the playbook for it.\n\nWho We're Looking For\nWe're looking for someone who is action oriented and high agency, and skilled in corporate finance and modeling. Specifically:\n2-5 years in investment banking, growth equity, private equity, or a top-tier strategic finance / corporate development seat.\n\nElite financial modeling and analytical chops - you can build a three-statement model and an operating model from a blank sheet and defend every assumption.\n\nCommercial instinct on top of financial rigor - you want to understand why the business wins.\n\nAI-native. You already lean on AI tools to work faster, and you want to build a finance function around them. Comfort with AI is not optional here.\n\nExtreme ownership and comfort with ambiguity. There's no org chart or process here yet - you'll build both.\n\nClear, executive-level communicator who can move between a founder, a board member, and a customer's controller in the same afternoon.\n\nNo task is beneath you, and you'd rather ship the answer than hand off a recommendation.\n\nNice to Have\nExposure to SaaS or usage-based business models and the metrics that go with them.\n\nSome accounting fluency (close, revenue recognition) or willingness to get fluent fast.\n\nLight technical skills - SQL, spreadsheets-as-code, or hands-on with automation tools (Zapier / Make / n8n).\n\nInterest in logistics, construction tech, or hard-industry software.\n\nWhy This Role Is Rare\nYou own the whole thing. The model, the board materials, the cash, the systems - the full scope a banker or investor usually only sees from across the table.\n\nDirect line to the CEO and the cap table. You'll sit in the room where decisions get made and help make them, from day one.\n\nA real launchpad. This is the seat that becomes Head of Finance, VP Finance, or Head of BizOps as Tread scales.\n\nBuild the AI-native version. Most finance functions are being retrofitted for AI. You get to build one that's AI-native from day one.\n\nReal company, real numbers. Series A, real revenue, real enterprise customers, in a giant market that's barely been digitized.\n\nWhat Success Looks Like (First 12 Months)\nLeadership runs the business off your operating model, and the board trusts your numbers.\n\nMonthly close is fast, clean, and largely automated. Cash and runway are never a surprise.\n\nUnit economics are defined, instrumented, and understood across the team, and you've flagged the levers that matter most.\n\nThe next fundraise (when we run it) has a finance engine room that makes diligence move fast.\n\nThe finance & ops stack runs lean and AI-native, doing the work of a much larger team.\n\nCompensation & Benefits\nCompetitive salary plus meaningful early-stage equity - this is a foundational hire and the equity matches it. Full health coverage and a flexible remote/hybrid setup.\nHow to Apply\nSend a note on why this role fits you to . Tell us about a time you owned a number or a decision that mattered - and, if you'd like, show us something you've built with AI. Tread is an equal-opportunity employer. We hire for talent and drive, and we welcome applicants from every background.","description_format":"text","description_chars":7200,"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":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Supply Chain & Logistics Software"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-06T15:40:48Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":10,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.352,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":69,"expected_fill_days":32,"reasons":["conf:2","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-20T05:45:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":160000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/tread-ai-finance-operations-manager","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/tread-ai-finance-operations-manager.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-21T01:51:42Z","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":2768,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-22T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"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":32779},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=32779"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Ftread-ai-finance-operations-manager"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"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%2Ftread-ai-finance-operations-manager"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"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%2Ftread-ai-finance-operations-manager"},{"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/tread-ai-finance-operations-manager\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Ftread-ai-finance-operations-manager"}]}
