About Glean

We’re on a mission to make knowledge work faster and more humane. We believe that AI will fundamentally transform how people work. In the future, everyone will work in tandem with expert AI assistants who find knowledge, create and synthesize information, and execute work. These assistants will free people up to focus on the higher-level, creative aspects of their work.

We’re building a system of intelligence for every company in the world. On the surface, you can think of it as Google + ChatGPT for the enterprise. Under the hood, our platform is the connective tissue between AI and knowledge. It brings all of a company’s knowledge together, understands it at a deep level, provides industry-leading search relevance over it, and connects it to generative AI agents and applications.

Glean was founded by a seasoned team of former Google search and Facebook engineers who saw a need in the enterprise space for their technical depth and passion for AI. We’re a diverse team of curious and creative people who want to help each other get big things done—so we can help other teams do the same. 

We're backed by some of the Valley's leading venture capitalists—including Sequoia, Kleiner Perkins, Lightspeed, and General Catalyst—and have assembled a world-class team with senior leadership experience at Google, Slack, Facebook, Dropbox, Rubrik, Uber, Intercom, Pinterest, Palantir, and others.

This team is in charge of managing the company's budget, driving quarterly and annual planning processes, efficiently allocating and deploying the company's resources, conducting financial analyses in collaboration with all departments across the company, and playing a crucial role in solidifying the foundation of our financial and operational data integrity and enabling strategic decision-making. The ideal candidate will have the technical expertise to support their recommendations, manage stakeholders, engage with senior leadership, address critical business issues, and be involved in all business aspects.

  • Work closely with strategic finance, accounting, and GTM teams to align product and GTM strategies with broader financial goals and considerations.
  • Establish and implement scalable reporting dashboards and scorecards to track key operational and financial metrics

Ideally, you would have:

  • 8+ years of relevant experience in investment banking, FP&A, or Data Analytics field — preferably for a B2B and/or SaaS business
  • Strong project management abilities, ability to manipulate and analyze large datasets, critically evaluate current processes, and identify opportunities for process enhancement.

  • Excellent presentation and writing skills and the ability to clearly communicate messages that link business issues, financial results, and strategy at the executive level
