Company mission
To save human lifetimes of tedious, white-collar work.
Role
Who you are
- You're graduating soon or recently graduated (any major, but some finance / business acumen preferred) and want a broad, high-ownership first role
- You're unusually organized and like closing loops. Nothing slips through the cracks on your watch
- You're comfortable with numbers and pick up new software fast
- You're proactive; you'd rather figure it out and propose a fix than wait to be told
- You care about getting things right, especially where money, people, and compliance meet
- You're excited to be in the office with the team in New York
- You don't need finance or operations experience; bring the instincts above and the willingness to learn, and we'll teach you the rest
What the job involves
- This is the role where you learn how a company actually works. You'll sit at the center of Heron (across finance, people, and office operations) and own the systems, vendors, and day-to-day processes that enable everyone to do their best work. It's broad by design: the ideal first job if you want to build real judgment quickly and grow toward a career in finance, operations, or people
- Keep the money moving — own accounts payable and receivable, manage corporate cards and repayment plans, keep our AR tracker current, and make sure spending is coded correctly across our US and UK books
- Onboard every new joiner — run it end to end, from accounts and equipment to background checks and a great first week
- Run benefits and vendors — administer health, pension, and family benefits across both countries, and be the person who keeps everything accurate
- Support immigration and compliance — help move visa processes along and keep our paperwork clean
- Tidy and automate — keep our tools and trackers up to date, set up new customer accounts in our billing and data systems, and build the small automations that save everyone time
- You'll work closely with our finance and operations leads, get real responsibility from week one, and see every part of how a startup gets built. Some of the most valuable people at any company started in exactly this seat
Our take
NY-based Heron Data uses advanced AI and LLMs to automate document-heavy workflows. It stands out in the automation market for this laser-focus on handling documents - which traditionally cause problems for businesses looking to reduce manual work.
The company's flagship product is capable of streamlining underwriting for small business lenders and specialty finance companies. It integrates into existing CRMs directly, enabling customers to easily deliver their services faster, more accurately, and fairly.
With over 150 clients across industries like fintech, insurance, and law, the future is an exciting one for Heron. It already handles over 350,000 documents a week, for FDIC-backed lenders to leading insurers, which puts it in an ideal position for expansion.
