At Solve Intelligence, we're building something people actually want - and we have the revenue and traction to prove it. 🏗️ The Role: Financial Operations Lead Less than 24 months since launch, we are adding 7 figures of ARR per month, we have raised ~$60M USD, and we are quadrupling headcount this year. We've built a world-class team of AI PhDs, engineers, and patent attorneys. Now, we need a high-energy, ambitious Financial Operations Lead to help us scale to $1B+ ARR. You'll be our first dedicated finance hire, based in London and working directly with the founders. Until now, finance has not been run by any single person. Your job is to own it end-to-end: get the fundamentals running flawlessly, then build the processes, tooling, and budgets that scale us to 100+ people across our three offices (London, New York, and Munich) and our continued revenue growth. This isn't a CFO-strategist role, and it isn't bookkeeping. It's for a hands-on generalist who understands accounting deeply, executes relentlessly, and is happy to go invoice-by-invoice in the morning, build the company budget in the afternoon, and model financials in the evening. You'll do things that don't scale at first to learn the business inside out, automate them away with tooling and AI, and grow into a true business partner to Sales and Marketing — the person with a 360° view of Solve. What you'll own: Payments (AP): Own supplier payments end-to-end — approval workflows, invoices paid on time, duplicates and double-payments caught before they happen — and lead vendor negotiations on everything from software to office space. Billing & Collections (AR): Own customer invoicing across our 1,000+ law firm and enterprise clients. Partner with RevOps to collect our backlog of overdue invoices fast and keep cash flowing in. The Monthly Close & Metrics: Run our external accountants to an accurate, on-time close every month. Own our financial metrics — definitions, reporting, the single source of truth — and work hand-in-hand with the CEO on communicating them to the board and investors. Processes & Tooling: Design and implement our finance stack from scratch. Approvals, procurement, spend management, billing, and more. Choose tools that scale and automate aggressively with AI. Budgets & Financial Culture: Work directly with the founders to build our first budgeting and approval processes (hiring, marketing, conferences, offices, etc) and partner closely with every team. Help the founders instil a culture where money is not free. Modelling & Big Decisions: Build the financial models behind our biggest calls — office leases, hiring plans, marketing budgets — and get stuck into special projects like M&A (we've already made two acquisitions this year). International Finance: Own the finance side of operating and expanding across three countries (and counting): budgets for new office setup, transfer pricing, and international tax, working with our external advisors. Cash & Treasury: Steward the ~$60M we've raised: payroll and vendors always paid, cash put to work safely. 💡 About Solve Intelligence We are the fastest-growing startup transforming Intellectual Property. Our AI platform handles everything from invention harvesting and patent generation through to litigation and licensing. Growth: 20–30% MoM revenue growth; 8 figures of ARR just ~2 years since launch. Market: 600+ IP teams across 6 continents, including Tier-1 firms like DLA Piper, tech giants, and boutiques. Impact: Users report 50–90% efficiency and quality improvements. Backing: ~$60M from Y Combinator, 20VC, Microsoft, Thomson Reuters, and the founders of top companies like Stripe, Perplexity, Tinder, Deel, Hugging Face, and Canva. See our Series B announcement . 👋 Who You'll Work With You'll be joining a founding team with deep pedigree: Sanj (CRO): PhD in AI (Gatsby Unit, UCL), ex-Huawei R&D, former lead at Magic Carpet AI (acquired).
