About us
Encord is the universal data layer for AI that helps 300+ AI teams train and run models on the right data. Our platform indexes, curates, annotates, and evaluates data across the full AI lifecycle, from development through production.
Trusted by Woven by Toyota, AXA, UiPath, Zipline, and more. We're an ambitious team of 100+ working at the frontier of AI and have raised $60M in Series C funding from Wellington Management, CRV, Next47 and Y Combinator.
The role
As Finance Associate at Encord, you'll own the operational core of our finance function, including: supplier payments, customer invoicing, and month-end reconciliations - ensuring everything runs accurately and on time. You'll partner closely with the wider finance function and cross-functional teams across the business, helping make finance a great partner to the rest of the company. The day-to-day processes are yours to run and improve: where something is manual or unclear, you'll have the real opportunity to make it better. It's a strong fit for someone early in their finance career who takes ownership seriously and wants their work to underpin the teams building tools for multimodal AI.
What you'll do
- Manage day-to-day bookkeeping, accounts payable, VAT returns and accounts receivable.
- Process employee expense reports and ensure adherence to company policies.
- Oversee client invoicing and manage billing workflows.
- Assist with month-end close procedures, bank reconciliations, and general ledger maintenance.
- Support financial reporting, budgeting, and variance analysis.
- Collaborate on ad-hoc finance and operational projects as they arise.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Who we're looking for
- Precision in the core. You take pride in managing the transactional heart of the company. You aren't just processing invoices or reconciling accounts; you view accuracy in bookkeeping and compliance as the critical foundation that allows us to move fast and make informed decisions.
- A builder of systems. You don’t just accept manual processes as status quo. Whether it’s improving expense workflows or refining billing, you look for the "better way" to do things, ensuring our financial systems scale as quickly as our business.
- Collaborative by nature. You recognize that effective finance isn’t a back-office function—it’s a partner to the business. You’re ready to bridge the gap between financial operations and the cross-functional teams building the tools for multimodal AI.
- Ready for high-growth ownership. You are early in your finance career, but you crave responsibility. You want a role where your daily output directly supports our growth, and you’re hungry for the professional development that comes from operating in a fast-paced environment.
