Strategic Finance & Operations

ABOUT LIGHTFIELD Lightfield is an AI-native CRM that assembles itself from your email, calendar, and meetings. It captures every interaction and turns it into organized context: accounts, tasks, follow-ups, and insights, so nothing slips through the cracks. We’re rethinking CRM from first principles. Instead of forcing teams to maintain rigid systems, Lightfield learns from how companies actually work, adapting, automating, and surfacing the insight that drives growth. We’re building the CRM platform we always wished existed: fast, intelligent, and genuinely helpful. The market agrees. Over 5,000 companies have used Lightfield since we launched in November, making us the fastest-adopted product in our category. We raised a $47M Series A led by a16z, with Greylock, Lightspeed, Coatue, Maverick and Audacious participating, and our founders previously built Tome, a generative AI presentation product used by over 25 million people. Before Lightfield, our team worked on Llama, Instagram, Facebook Messenger, Pinterest, Google, and Salesforce. ABOUT THE ROLE We’re looking for someone to join our Strategic Finance & Operations team and help build the financial and operating infrastructure for Lightfield’s next stage of growth. You’ll work directly with our Head of Operations and closely with our CEO and leadership team across strategic finance, company planning, and business operations.

• You have 2-5 years of experience in investment banking, private equity, venture capital, growth investing, strategic finance, or another highly analytical environment
