Role
Who you are
- A background in investment banking, private equity, management consulting, strategic finance, product finance, venture capital, or a comparably analytically rigorous role
- Strong proficiency in spreadsheet-based financial modeling, with the ability to build and maintain complex operating models from the ground up — and genuine enjoyment of the craft
- Demonstrated ability to take full ownership of a workstream and drive it independently from question to decision
- Comfort operating in systems and data, not just spreadsheets — you'll get into a billing configuration, a usage dashboard, or a SQL query to verify behavior rather than assume it
- The judgment and conviction to form an opinion and defend it, paired with the openness to update it as the analysis evolves
- A genuine, current interest in AI — you follow the field and have a perspective on where model and compute economics are heading
- Ability to communicate complex financial information clearly to non-finance audiences
- Preferred: direct experience owning pricing, packaging, or monetization strategy — setting or revising prices, designing tiering and packaging, or measuring the impact of pricing changes
- Preferred: experience with usage-based, API, or developer-platform pricing, or other consumption-based business models
- Preferred: hands-on experience with a usage-based billing platform such as Orb, Metronome, or Stripe Billing, or equivalent billing operations experience
What the job involves
- Glean is seeking a Strategic Finance Associate to join our Product Finance team and partner with our Product and Engineering organizations.
- The Strategic Finance team at Glean tackles some of the company’s most critical business challenges, bringing financial rigor to decisions across every department.
- In this role, you will act as a thought partner bringing financial insights, strategic analysis, and decision support to the economics of Glean’s AI products.
- This role sits at the intersection of Finance, Product, and Engineering and is ideal for someone who thrives in cross-functional environments, loves turning data into action, and is fascinated by the world of model and compute monetization.
- You’ll get broad exposure across the full Product Finance charter — token economics, compute modeling, margin analysis, billing operations, pricing strategy, and long-range planning
- Own inference pricing economics end to end: build and maintain the financial models that connect token economics, inference and compute costs, and margin to pricing, packaging, and tiering decisions across Glean’s models and consumption offerings
- Drive billing operations end to end: operate and improve the billing systems that translate pricing into invoiced revenue, ensuring provisioning, credits, overage, and reconciliation are accurate and scalable across consumption and hosted customers
- Serve as the deep-dive pricing partner on complex, technically nuanced deals, modeling specific usage and product-feature scenarios and turning that analysis into clear, opinionated recommendations
- Partner cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, and GTM to evaluate pricing and packaging changes, new model launches, and consumption-based offerings, and to ensure billing behavior stays aligned as products ship
- Analyze the drivers of unit economics and gross margin, surfacing the trends, risks, and opportunities that should inform pricing and monetization strategy
- Build the operating backbone for pricing and billing — the documentation, controls, and automation that let these systems run without depending on any one person
- Collaborate with Finance, FP&A, and Accounting counterparts to ensure pricing and billing decisions are consistent with broader financial strategy and reporting
Our take
Glean is an intuitive digital assistant which allows employees to search across all their apps and find the information and tools that they need more quickly.
With so many SaaS apps being used by modern day companies, overwhelm and inefficiency inevitably enter the equation. Glean’s search engine is proving popular for how it unifies and centralizes all these distributed tools and data.
It’s been quite a start to life at Glean, having emerged from stealth in 2021, it received a $1B valuation in early 2022, thus achieving unicorn status. Since then, the company has gone on to raise substantial funding and bring its valuation up to $7.2B in 2025. With this impressive growth, its secured some big name customers like Grammarly, databricks, and Rubrik.
That Glean was co-founded by a quartet with senior experience at Google, Microsoft, Uber, and Facebook stands the company in good stead. However, it’s the fact that its search engine is solving a new, but very real problem in the workplace that’s seen its popularity surge so quickly, which it’s likely to continue to do in the future. And its adaptability to include new AI capabilities to its platform, such as generative AI, has Glean well set to see further growth.
