VP of Finance

Who we are

Rilla’s the leading conversation intelligence software for outside sales. Think solar, roofing, and real estate sales reps.

They talk to customers face to face, our mobile app records their conversations, and our AI automatically transcribes and analyzes their conversations to help them improve their sales.

Our vision is to bring the power of conversation intelligence from the Zoom meeting and the call center to the more than 10M salespeople who work offline.

We’re growing 20% MoM, have hundreds of clients, including Fortune 500 companies, Net Revenue Retention above 170%, an NPS higher than the iPhone’s, and we are cash flow positive!

We are one of the fastest-growing startups in the world right now and in history.

We’re backed by Byron Deeter (one of the best investors of all time) from Bessemer Venture Partners, the top Cloud investor in the world.

And we’re a Cloud 100 Rising Star company.

Who you are

• A customer obsessive. Someone who deeply cares about delighting clients and solving their pains, not about vanity metrics.

• An infinite learner. You are always looking to learn more and learn faster. You feel uneasy when you get complacent, and you’re constantly seeking discomfort.

• A team player. You love giving and receiving feedback and learning and growing as a team.

• Unafraid of failure. You take risks. You see failure as an opportunity to learn, grow, and be better the next time. In a weird way, you trick your brain into being excited when you fail because it means you get a new opportunity to learn more.

• Affinity for the unconventional. You get a kick out of rejecting conventional wisdom. And you’re not afraid to try weird, crazy, and quite possibly stupid ideas.

• Extremely focused. You practice extreme focus in everything you do. You’re always looking to prioritize your time and resources to maximum efficiency.

What you’ll get

Right now, a large portion of our growth is coming from existing clients. The Client Growth Associate is one of the most important roles that we’re hiring for right now.

You will be working alongside our Head of Client Growth and CEO to help us unlock multiple millions of dollars of potential revenue that we can achieve by merely upselling our existing clients.

You have the unique role of working at the intersection between client relations, data analytics, and product insights.

You’ll be part of one of the fastest-growing startups in the world.

In a space that is completely untapped and where we have no competition.

This means that you’ll be in charge of a large and growing book of business, executing the client growth tasks and motions to ensure our clients are as successful as they can be.

And you will get to contribute to the development of our best practices, systems and processes for client success, which is the thing that matters the most to us because that’s literally the only thing we care about.

And you will scale yourself as the company scales with you.

What you’ll do

• You will develop and execute comprehensive financial strategies aligned with the company's goals and objectives.

• Identify opportunities for cost optimization, revenue enhancement, and profitability improvement.

• Oversee the preparation and analysis of accurate and timely financial reports, including monthly financial statements, KPI dashboards, and variance analyses.

• Provide insightful financial analysis and recommendations to support strategic decision-making by the executive team and board of directors.

• Establish and maintain effective internal controls, policies, and procedures to safeguard company assets and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.

• Assess and mitigate financial risks, including currency exchange, interest rate fluctuations, and credit exposure.

• Stay abreast of changes in accounting standards, tax regulations, and industry trends to ensure compliance and mitigate risks.

• Manage the company's capital structure, including debt financing, equity financing, and working capital management.

• Build and maintain relationships with investors, financial institutions, and other stakeholders to facilitate fundraising activities and strategic partnerships.

• Build and lead a high-performing finance team, fostering a culture of collaboration, accountability, and continuous improvement.

• Provide mentorship, coaching, and professional development opportunities to finance team members to support their growth and career advancement.

• Cultivate strong cross-functional partnerships with other departments, such as Sales, Marketing, Product Development, and Operations, to drive alignment and achieve shared goals.
