Company mission
To close the justice gap using technology and AI.
Role
Who you are
- 8+ years in FP&A / corporate finance, with meaningful time supporting R&D, Engineering, or a technical/product org
- Deep comfort with SaaS and AI/usage-based economics: CoR, gross margin, unit economics, and how infrastructure/inference cost drives them
- Strong SQL (BigQuery a major plus) and expert Excel/Sheets modeling, with clean, maintainable model architecture
- Strong grasp of how R&D spend flows through the P&L
- Ability to be a genuine partner to technical leaders, holding substantive conversations with engineering or ML leads to translate technical work into financial views
- Precise, low-ego, self-directed, and concise work ethic
- Nice to have: Experience at a high-growth AI/ML company, familiarity with modern data stacks, contract negotiation experience, people management experience, and CPA/CA/CFA
- Nice to have: Familiarity with a modern data stack (dbt, EPMs) and building repeatable, auditable finance pipelines
What the job involves
- The Director of FP&A, R&D acts as the strategic finance partner to Engineering, Product, and Data/ML leadership, owning the R&D operating plan and establishing LLM economics as a fundamental financial discipline
- This role manages the P&L for R&D headcount and Cost of Revenue (CoR) for AI in production, driving efficiency through direct engagement with our data stack (BigQuery/dbt)
- Partner day to day with engineering, product, and data leaders as their trusted finance counterpart
- Build the analyses that shape build-vs-buy, pricing, and infrastructure decisions
- Support foundation-model and cloud vendor negotiations with data-backed positions
- Deliver clear, concise reporting and variance commentary to the CFO, FP&A leadership, and the board
- Own the R&D budget, forecast, and headcount plan across Engineering, Product, and Data/ML. Drive the re-forecast cycle and keep hiring plans tied to output and priorities
- Make LLM/inference and cloud compute cost a first-class, closely monitored metric. Build the model that tracks unit costs; monitor spend daily; and partner with engineering to find and defend efficiency. This is not a monthly-close afterthought, it's a core operating metric of the business
- Own the connection between usage, inference cost, and gross margin. Model the margin impact of new products, pricing changes, and model/infrastructure choices, and make the tradeoffs legible to leadership
- Bring financial rigor to major R&D spend decisions including foundation-model and API contracts, cloud commitments, data, and dev tooling, including negotiation support and ROI cases
Our take
Every year, millions of personal injury cases in the US are resolved with only a small fraction going to trial, leaving many victims potentially under-compensated due to inaccurate settlement proposals. EvenUp aims to change this by leveraging AI technology to streamline the assessment of injury cases.
The AI tools evaluate raw case files, including medical and police records, creating tailored "demand packages" that present comprehensive compensation arguments. This improves lawyer performance and victim outcomes.
Despite concerns about AI bias and privacy, EvenUp has garnered significant investor interest, closing a funding round in 2025 that was one of the largest in the history of legal AI. Now valued at over $2 billion, it is investing in its team and introducing new techniques and products for personal injury and other legal areas.
