Pilot · San Francisco
Manufacturing & Operations
Pilot is building a first-of-its-kind, hybrid software/service solution to tackle the financial back office (bookkeeping, tax, CFO, etc.) so founders and business owners can focus on building and running their businesses. We work with thousands of customers in the tech startup and SMB sectors, and we're growing quickly.
Customer Operations is made up of 150+ employees who partner with our customers to manage their financial back office and support their business goals. This is an individual contributor role reporting into the Head of Business Operations, working closely with Customer Operations service delivery teams, cross-functional partners, and peer Business Operations Managers.This role sits at the center of how we plan, allocate, and forecast work across the organization, and increasingly, how we automate that work. Pilot is moving fast toward agentic, AI-assisted operations, and this person will build and own the systems, models, and reporting that make that shift possible: work orchestration, KPI reporting, resource forecasting, and billing. This isn't a role for someone who wants to build one dashboard and maintain it. It's for someone who wants to keep building better systems as the work itself changes.
The role requires real fluency with data and automation tools (Excel/Sheets at an expert level, plus a builder's instinct for where AI and scripts can replace manual work), sharp attention to detail, and good judgment about what results imply for our strategy and performance. This person works directly with senior leadership.This is a hybrid in-office role based in either our San Francisco or Nashville office.
Pilot launched in 2017 to bring the back office into the modern era. Pilot provides small businesses with dedicated finance experts - which Pilot hires as full-time, U.S.-based employees - who learn the ins-and-outs of their business. Pilot integrates directly with the billing, banking, expense, and payroll systems customers already use. With a special blend of custom software and expert bookkeepers, Pilot delivers accurate, consistent bookkeeping and financial management and tax services that give entrepreneurs the freedom to focus on their business.
Pilot has over 3,000 customers and has raised over $170 million in financing from Sequoia, Index Ventures, Stripe, Bezos Expeditions, and Whale Rock. Our investors also include a long list of world-class entrepreneurs, including Patrick and John Collison, Drew Houston, and Diane Greene. Our most recent funding round doubled our valuation to $1.2 billion – Meet Fintech’s Newest Unicorn.
The base pay range target for the role seniority described in this job description is $72,000 - $105,000 in Nashville, and between $97,000 - $136,000 in San Francisco, CA. Final offer amounts depend on multiple factors such as candidate experience and expertise, geographic location, total compensation, and market data. In addition to cash pay, full-time regular positions are eligible for equity, 401(k), health benefits, and other benefits; some of these benefits may be available for part-time or temporary positions.
