Hey! We’re The Rundown, the world’s best and fastest place to learn about AI. We’re looking for our first finance team member.
This role is remote for anyone in Canada.
About us
At The Rundown, we’re building the leading media company that makes AI information accessible, understandable, and impactful for everyone. AI is moving fast and will continue to change the way we live and work — our mission is to teach the world how to understand and use it.
Since launching in January 2023, our newsletter and social media channels engage with millions of people each day, and our new AI university teaches how to use the tools that will soon become a part of daily life.
About the role
As The Rundown’s first finance hire, we need someone who’s sharp, entrepreneurial, and creative to oversee all aspects of finance and accounting operations.
What you’ll do
- Develop and execute the company’s financial strategy (including budgeting, forecasting, and financial planning), financial reporting (preparing statements, reports, and analysis), manage cash flow, ensure compliance, and optimize operational expenses.
- Oversee HR functions, including payroll, compliance with labor laws, and assisting with hiring, firing, and team performance.

- Identify and pursue strategic partnerships to enhance the company’s financial and operational capabilities.
In addition to your day-to-day responsibilities, you’ll think about our core products, how we can expand into new areas, and how we can move even faster. And since we’re a small team, you may have to get your hands dirty to ensure ideas are executed on.
