About this role

Brisk Teaching is the leading AI platform for K-12 educators, empowering teachers to deliver personalized, curriculum-aligned instruction at scale. As Senior Business Operations Manager you will own finance operations and financial planning across the company. The role drives budget accountability with department leads and manages vendors that keep the business running efficiently.

You will handle accounts receivable end-to-end, manage accounts payable and vendor payments, and administer the Ramp expense platform. Additional duties include owning sales tax compliance, supporting monthly close with the external bookkeeper, and preparing quarterly investor metrics and board-ready materials.

The lean operations team covers finance, people, legal, IT, and business operations with no layers of management or detailed playbooks. You will report to the Head of Operations, partner with a fractional CFO, and operate with high autonomy while using AI tools aggressively to stay efficient.

This environment rewards ownership and structure-building on open-ended problems. You will build financial models that inform spending and growth, lead monthly budget reviews, support annual planning cycles, and drive procurement improvements that reduce spend across the vendor portfolio.
