About Us

At MAI (pronounced “my”), we're on a mission to democratize advanced advertising technology. We believe that cutting-edge marketing tools, once exclusive to large enterprises with massive budgets, should be accessible to everyone. Our platform uses AI agents to automate and optimize performance marketing, empowering small and mid-sized businesses to scale their ad spend profitably without the need for an agency or endless hours of manual campaign management.

Founded by ad platform veterans from Google and Instacart, we've successfully raised a $25 million Seed funding round led by Kleiner Perkins to accelerate our growth. This capital will be used to expand our teams, bringing our vision of intelligent, autonomous marketing to life. Our AI agents have already proven their value, helping clients drive 40% more sales and managing millions in monthly Google Ads spend. Our client waitlist is growing by the day

What You’ll Do

  • General BizOps: Partner with our Leaders to automate and tackle key business operations projects across R&D, People, Sales & Marketing, etc.

  • Board Level Impact: Partner with Founders on Board Meeting narratives, business metrics, initiatives, P&L, etc.

  • Financial Operations: Own the "Order-to-Cash" cycle.

  • The Books: Lead the end-of-month cleanup in QuickBooks, ensuring our CPA has a "push-button" experience for tax and reporting.

  • Global Payroll: Own the end-to-end payroll and workforce lifecycle, while building a scalable system for managing and paying our global network of contractors and vendors.

  • Expenses: You will own the 'source of truth' for employee total compensation, ensuring that every gym stipend, home-office reimbursement, and company-paid benefit is correctly taxed and reported in partnership with our CPA consultant.

What You’ll Bring

  • 6+ years of experience in Finance Ops, BizOps, or Accounting, ideally at a high-growth tech startup. Prior experience in Management Consulting a plus.

  • QuickBooks Expert: You’ve managed the books for a startup before and understand the nuances of SaaS accounting.

  • The "Operator" Mindset: You don't just identify problems; you build the automation or the process to fix them.

  • Extreme Detail Orientation: You’re the person who catches the $0.50 discrepancy in a 100-line invoice.

Compensation and Benefits:

We're offering a stake in our success and a commitment to your well-being. Our total compensation package is designed to support you, both professionally and personally:

  • Salary: A base salary range of $170,000 to $195,000.

  • Equity: We want you to feel invested in our mission, which is why we offer meaningful equity.

  • Health and Wellness: Our medical, dental and vision coverage is designed to take care of you and your family.

  • 401(k): We'll help you build for your future with a competitive 401(k) program.

Are you ready to build the future with us? We believe in a holistic approach to hiring. If you're passionate about our mission and have a drive to learn and grow, we encourage you to apply even if you don't meet every single requirement. We value potential, curiosity, and hunger. We can't wait to hear from you.
