Location: Palo Alto, CA (hybrid) Small business owners don't have a risk department. They spend their time and energy starting and growing a business. NEXT's mission is to help entrepreneurs thrive, and we're using AI to make business insurance simple, fast, and affordable enough that it never costs them a day of work. We're an AI technology company that happens to also be a fully licensed insurance carrier. Because we're a full-stack carrier, AI isn't a layer bolted onto someone else's product. It's in the underwriting, the pricing, the classification, and increasingly in how the product itself gets built. We're rebuilding the core judgment loops of a hundreds-of-years old industry, and doing it with a lean team, which is exactly why AI matters. We underwrite our own risk, build our own systems, and own the entire value chain, so the product decisions made here show up directly in what a customer pays and how fast they get covered. Since 2016 we've insured hundreds of thousands of small businesses across the country. As a subsidiary of Munich Re and ERGO, our growth is backed by the financial strength of one of the world's leading reinsurance and insurance groups. About the role: ERGO NEXT is building its Finance organization to be AI-native — starting with reinventing how we forecast the business from the ground up. We're looking for a Strategic Finance Manager, AI & Forecasting to help lead this transformation: someone with strong core strategic finance fundamentals who is equally excited to redesign forecasting, planning, and reporting workflows around AI/LLM-based tools rather than layering AI on top of legacy spreadsheet processes. Reporting to the Head of Revenue & Growth FP&A, this is a high-visibility, high-impact role at the intersection of strategic finance and applied AI, with the mandate to define what "AI-native FP&A" looks like at ERGO NEXT. What You’ll Do: Lead the redesign of the topline reve

Simply put, wherever you find small businesses, you’ll find ERGO NEXT. Since 2016, we’ve helped hundreds of thousands of small business customers across the United States get fast, customized and affordable coverage. We’re backed by industry leaders in insurance and tech, and we still have room to grow — that’s where you come in. We’re looking for a Corporate Finance Manager to join our dynamic finance team. This individual will independently manage financial projects, build and maintain complex financial models, and play a key role in producing high-impact presentation materials for executive and board-level audiences. If you’re skilled in financial modeling, presentation creation, and excited about leveraging technology to drive forecasts, you’ll thrive here! What you’ll do: Lead and manage financial projects independently from planning to execution. Build, maintain, and enhance complex financial and forecasting models to support strategic decision-making. Develop executive-level presentation materials, including board decks, financial commentary, and visualizations that clearly communicate financial insights.
