About the Company
Why We Built Lyric: Supply chains are more critical and complex than ever. Every day, large enterprises navigate trillions of possible decisions that could impact the bottom line. Powerful algorithms and AI can address these problems, yet most organizations struggle to leverage supply chain AI at scale. The current SCM technologies are either rigid, limited-scope point solutions or custom solutions built in-house, which demand immense expertise and investment.
That is…until now.
Enter Lyric: Lyric is an enterprise AI platform built specifically for supply chains, offering the best of both worlds:
Out-of-the-box AI solutions for optimizing networks, allocating inventory, scheduling routes, planning fulfillment capacity, promising orders, propagating demand, building predictions, analyzing scenarios, and more, plus
A platform-first approach that empowers both business and technical users with end-to-end product composability, leveraging no-code tools, their own code, or even forking our code to build and refine supply chain decision intelligence
With Lyric, enterprises no longer have to choose between flexibility and speed, they get both.
The Mission: We’re building a new era in supply chain with the team best equipped to lead it. With over 20 years at the intersection of supply chain and algorithms, we developed a deep conviction that global supply chains needed something like Lyric. Since our inception in December 2021, that conviction has been validated time and time again.
Today, a growing number of Fortune 500 companies, including Smurfit WestRock, Estée Lauder, Coca-Cola, and more, are innovating on their own terms with Lyric. We can’t wait to see what our customers, both current and future, are empowered to build with us next. Come build with us!
About the role
We're looking for a Strategic Finance Lead to serve as a critical partner to the Head of Finance and leadership team as we scale the business.
This person will be the Head of Finance's primary partner and help build the financial operating system of the company. You'll own the company model, lead annual planning and forecasting, and help drive strategic decisions across every function of the business.
You'll partner closely with leaders across GTM, Product, Engineering, Customer Success, Delivery, Operations, and Accounting to improve visibility, resource allocation, and decision-making as Lyric enters its next phase of growth.
This is a highly strategic and hands-on role for someone who enjoys building from first principles, thrives in ambiguity, and wants to help shape how a modern, AI-native company scales.
The ideal candidate has experience in high-growth B2B SaaS businesses with hybrid software + services business models, particularly organizations with meaningful professional services, implementation, customer engineering, or forward deployment teams alongside recurring software revenue.
Lyric operates globally across the US, EMEA, and India, and this role will help support financial planning and operational decision-making across a distributed international organization.

Serve as a strategic finance partner to leaders across the business
Drive visibility into business performance through reporting, KPI development, and financial analysis

Collaborate on ASC 606 considerations across software and services revenue streams
Support cash planning, working capital management, and finance systems improvements
Help build scalable finance processes to support global growth
We're not looking for someone who simply uses AI tools. We're looking for someone who can help reimagine how finance operates inside an AI-native company.
Leverage AI to improve planning, forecasting, reporting, and decision-making
Identify opportunities to automate workflows and increase analytical leverage across the finance organization
Help define how a modern finance team operates in an AI-native company
What We're Looking For
6–12+ years of experience in strategic finance, FP&A, investment banking, consulting, or related fields
Experience supporting high-growth B2B SaaS companies with hybrid software + services business models
Strong understanding of SaaS and professional services revenue models
Experience building and maintaining complex financial models
Familiarity with ASC 606 revenue recognition principles
Strong understanding of services metrics, including utilization, billable hours, and blended margins
Experience with driver-based forecasting, scenario modeling, and business partnering
Excellent analytical, communication, and stakeholder management skills
Experience supporting global operations is a plus
Why Join Lyric?
