Metaview

Hiring is tedious, inefficient, and unreliable. The root cause of this is that the most important moments when hiring are fluid, synchronous, human interactions, but we only have highly-lossy and unsophisticated (ie, manual) ways of capturing the data that these interactions emit.

Metaview is building an AI-first platform to establish a new, richer ground-truth for hiring. We’re using this ground-truth to radically enhance hiring workflows, data, and decisions.

As a result, we’ll turn hiring into the business-critical team sport it truly is.

We’re a Series A startup founded by Siadhal and Shahriar after their experiences building products and teams at Uber and Palantir, and backed by phenomenal investors in the US and Europe. Our starting point on this mission is an AI-powered conversation assistant that gives hiring teams superpowers: beautifully structured and summarized interview notes, pre-filled candidate feedback forms, and rich candidate write-ups generated in just a few clicks (if that). Our customers are raving fans of the product, and we’re already seeing that Metaview is becoming the center-of-gravity for the hiring process at companies like Brex, Quora, HelloFresh, and over a thousand more.

The team

  • We own our work from end-to-end. We work “towards goals”, not “on tasks”. We’re a team that knows the satisfaction of doing great work is only felt when it impacts the customer.

  • We optimize for rate-of-learning. We treat learning as the highest-form of currency for delivering future impact, and act accordingly: we run experiments, question thoroughly, and talk to customers over-and-over. We covet earned secrets.

  • We’re direct and actively-transparent in how we communicate and share progress. There’s no point painstakingly hiring a world-class team, if they are then uninformed or unaware of the context that matters.

Our HQ is in London, UK.

The role

Metaview is growing rapidly, and we want to go even faster.

To make this happen, the Ops and Finance Manager will work directly with Metaview’s founders and will:

  • Take the lead on ensuring we have world-class visibility into our finances, are being efficient with cash, and that we’re meeting our financial obligations as a global organization.

  • Assist with and, over time, own company-level reporting of our core business metrics to the team, board, and investors.

  • Drive proactive analysis, research, or experiments into opportunity areas for accelerated growth. You’ll own the things that don’t yet have a dedicated owner.

  • Obsess over our operational cadence as a fast-growing business and we can use “how we work” to accelerate further.

  • Pick up new things that come up, as they inevitably will, and attack them with ferocity.

Fundamentally, this role is about operational leverage. We need to maximize our leverage and increase the company’s capacity to get work done. This is a career-defining opportunity for anyone that is passionate about startups, with a growth-mentality, and that seeks discomfort and ambiguity.

You

  • 3+ years experience in top-tier consulting or ops roles at high-performing tech companies.

  • Strong academic background.

  • Strong foundation in financial principles.

  • Technology, business, and innovation is your favourite topic.

  • Sharp analytical skills. Excel/Gsheets wizard, and SQL a strong plus.

  • Appreciate analysis is less than half the job. It’s there to serve execution.

  • Have a desire to get your hands dirty across a broad range of opportunities: from financial modeling, to reporting, to HR, to obsessing over how to create a phenomenal environment for the team to do the best work of their lives.

What’s in it for you

  • Work directly with Metaview’s founders. A front-row seat on a high-growth AI rocketship.

  • As you’d expect: we take hiring seriously. These will be the best teammates you’ll ever work with.

  • Incredible variety of vital work to get done. A phenomenal grounding for future founders, COOs, or CFOs.

  • Your rate of learning will be the fastest it has ever been.

  • Generous salary and equity in a Series A startup that is growing 4x YoY.

  • All the benefits you expect and more.
