Senior Finance & Accounting Ops Manager

Maven AGI is an enterprise AI platform on a mission to unleash business artificial general intelligence (AGI), starting with customer service. Founded in July 2023 by executives from HubSpot, Google, and Stripe, Maven builds conversational AI agents capable of delivering accurate, autonomous support that delights customers at scale. Our platform unifies fragmented systems, integrates knowledge and personalization sources, and enables intelligent actions - all without costly system changes. We're laying the foundation for a future where our technology handles complex tasks, allowing people to focus on what they do best: creative problem-solving, relationship building, and delivering exceptional customer experiences. We've started by reimagining the enterprise customer experience with a support use case. We believe today's support experience is broken: slow and painful for customers, and expensive and human-capital-intensive for companies. With recent advancements in Generative AI, it is now possible to deliver delightful customer experiences at a fraction of today's cost. Maven has raised more than $75M from leading investors including M13 and Lux Capital and is scaling quickly, with a growing roster of Fortune 500 and high-growth technology customers. Team Maven has assembled a world-class team from Google, Meta, Amazon, and Stripe, and is supported by executives and advisors from OpenAI, Google, HubSpot, and Stripe.
