Finance Manager - AI Startup (On-site, Amman)

About the role

A YC-backed AI startup is hiring a hands-on Finance Manager to own finance for its international AI and SaaS business. As the company's sole internal finance employee, you will work directly with the founders and manage accounts and daily operations while producing reliable financial reports. The role suits someone who has already run a finance function independently.

Key responsibilities

• Accounting and monthly close: maintain the ledger, reconcile bank and payment-platform balances, manage accruals, prepayments and deferred revenue, and produce accurate financial statements
• Billing and collections: turn customer contracts and usage into invoices, manage credits and refunds, reconcile balances and follow up on overdue payments
• Payments and expenses: check supplier invoices against agreements, manage payables and expenses, track renewals, prevent duplicate payments and prepare payment runs for approval
• Payroll and contractors: check compensation changes and commissions, reconcile payroll costs, funding, deposits and final settlements
• Cash and planning: maintain a rolling cash forecast, budget and hiring plan, and track burn, runway, commitments and expected receipts
• SaaS reporting: maintain revenue, retention, gross-margin and customer-profitability reports, including AI, cloud and voice costs
• Compliance and investor reporting: own the finance calendar, coordinate advisers, prepare financial packs, forecasts and due-diligence materials
• Systems and controls: maintain finance-system access, approval controls and documentation, and improve the processes behind them

Required profile

• Strong hands-on accounting experience, including independent ownership of the monthly close and financial reporting
• Proven experience running finance in a startup, scaleup or lean technology company
• Experience supporting multinational entities across countries, currencies and payment systems
• Understanding of subscription and usage-based business models
• Clear professional English and the ability to explain finance to non-finance colleagues
• Applicants must currently be based in Jordan; the final engagement is conditional on an acceptable criminal-record check

Required skills

• QuickBooks Online or a comparable accounting system
• Spreadsheet skills
• Stripe, international payroll platforms and Jordan/GCC operations are valuable
• Use of AI or automation is valuable
• CPA, ACCA, CMA, JCPA or a comparable qualification is an advantage
