Light exists to replace factory-era ERPs with software that feels alive. Our Smart Financial Platform gives modern, global companies superpowers—automated accounting, real-time reporting, and financial flows that move at the speed of the business.

We build with our customers, ship fast, and obsess over craft. We’re an early team defining a new software category. Think engineers who love debits and credits, designers who care about reconciliation states, and operators who treat finance as a product. Backed by world-class investors and advised by industry titans, we’re building category-defining products with the freedom to ship ambitiously and own outcomes.

Come help us make Light the global default for next-gen finance.

  • Running outbound prospecting: email, LinkedIn, cold calling - to engage decision-makers in target industries (asset-light, multinational companies).
  • Booking high-quality meetings with finance leaders and C-suite executives, understanding their needs and positioning Light's value.
  • Developing personalized outreach strategies and messaging to break into target accounts.
  • Collaborating closely with Account Executives to ensure seamless handoffs and pipeline efficiency.
  • Tracking and optimizing outreach efforts, using tools like Amplemarket, HubSpot, and LinkedIn Sales Navigator.

Your mission is to help prospects see the light:

  • Clear, concise, and persuasive across email, phone, and live conversations.
  • High phone confidence. This is a phone heavy role with daily cold calling.
  • A hunter mentality: you're proactive, resilient, and energized by outreach.
  • CRM hygiene and follow ups are second nature.
  • Comfort in a fast-paced startup environment, thriving amidst change and high expectations.
  • Coachable and desire to learn about tech, SaaS, and business acumen.

Bonus points:

  • Any amount of Audit/Accounting experience, a finance degree, or previous experience selling to the office of the CFO.
  • Experience selling financial software, ERPs, or fintech solutions.
  • Prior success using sales automation/prospecting tools (Amplemarket, Salesloft, Outreach, HubSpot).
  • You actively experiment with AI tools, build side projects, or use AI to improve prospecting, research, and workflow efficiency.
