About the role
About the Role
Kick is growing fast and is planning to soon raise capital to rapidly scale the organization. Our most important problems are cross functional and we need a high-agency problem solver to help us scale. You'll report directly to our Head of Finance & Operations and work directly with our CEO to drive finance, operations and GTM projects to completion with high ownership so they scale to 100X without you.
What You'll Do
This role will primarily be project based, deployed to the most critical projects in the company. Examples include:
Optimize our finance tech stack to operate near autonomously (e.g., upgrade billing process, optimize vendor evaluation & payment processes)
Drive key reporting efforts (e.g., improved live ARR tracking, margin analyses, projections, etc.)
Support fundraising and investor relations, from the model and data room to investor updates
Build our RevOps foundation: document the sales process and CRM setup, own funnel reporting, and find what drives conversion as outbound scales
Optimize our customer support workflows, improving our agents to deliver best-in-class service
Build AI agents and automations that give the team leverage, like surfacing buying signals from LinkedIn and X
Run key hires from sourcing to close, including designing work trials
Upgrade HR operations, from the tech stack to our first performance management framework
Jump on whatever matters most next, with direct visibility into CEO priorities
