fal is the generative media ecosystem powering the next generation of AI products. We build the infrastructure, tools, and model access that teams need to move from idea to production, and do it at scale without compromise. For developers and enterprises, fal is the foundation that makes generative media not just possible, but practical: a unified platform where high-performance inference, orchestration, and observability come together to unlock new categories of AI-native products.
As generative media reshapes industries across a market projected to grow by hundreds of billions over the next decade, fal is becoming the ecosystem that ambitious teams build on.
About the role
We’re looking for a strategic finance partner to join our growing finance team. You will help across all functions - consolidations, KPI reporting and tracking, systems implementation, and ad hoc strategic projects. This is not a typical B2B SaaS business, and fal is not a typical environment: we’re a deliberately flat organization with very few titles or layers, moving extremely fast with data and processes still being built. The ideal person is interdisciplinary, resourceful, low-ego, and energized by ambiguity and a high-urgency pace.
What you’ll do
Planning: Support company-wide financial planning, forecasting, and budgeting processes
Models: Help maintain and extend our bottoms-up revenue model across GTM motions and products, track and report actuals vs variances, and surface insights
Systems: Assist with FP&A software implementation and additional finance systems (ERP, procurement)
Reporting: Partner with accounting and data on monthly revenue reporting, ensuring product- and customer-level breakdowns are accurate and usable
Visibility: Build dashboards giving leadership real-time visibility into key performance metrics vs plan and forecast
Make the data usable: Go into the data (e.g. BigQuery), spot what’s wrong, and drive it to a fix with the right people; we’re a lean team without a dedicated analyst, so this is core to the job
Automate: Use AI tools to automate recurring financial workflows
What we’re looking for
Required:
5+ years of experience across strategic finance, private/growth equity or investment banking with 3+ years of finance operating experience at a high-growth technology company
Able to read and troubleshoot data and validate metrics independently. You don’t need to hand-write SQL, but you must read a table, find what’s wrong, and problem-solve it
Working knowledge of accounting concepts (billings, deferred revenue, AR, rev rec) and able to translate them for non-finance stakeholders
Strong financial-modeling skill; can distill complex data into clear, actionable insights
Strong cross-functional communication and influencing skills
Resourceful, low-ego, high-urgency, and genuinely excited to operate in a fast-changing AI startup with evolving processes
Preferred:
Experience in AI, cloud, or large-scale computing infrastructure
Experience implementing a modern FP&A tool
Track record of building/using AI tools to automate financial workflows
How we work (please read)
fal is intentionally flat: there are very few titles, and almost everyone reports to a senior leader rather than a layer of managers. People here are excited about the AI space, take real ownership, move fast, and aren’t focused on titles or hierarchy. If a messy, high-autonomy, build-as-you-go environment sounds energizing rather than stressful, you’ll thrive.
Why join
Work with senior leaders on strategic and high-priority problems at one of the fastest-growing companies in AI. High autonomy, real ownership as you earn it, and competitive compensation, equity, and benefits.
