Wefunder • San Francisco, CA

About The Position

Wefunder helps everyday people invest in the startups they love.
We've helped thousands of startups and small businesses - including flying cars, space rockets, breweries, Hollywood studios, and potential Ebola cures - raise over a billion dollars.
We're a Public Benefit Corporation with a mission to revitalize capitalism and keep the American dream alive. GDP growth is slowing. Wealth inequality is increasing. Entrepreneurship is dying across America; falling from 10.6% to 3.6% among those under 30 since 1989. We're reversing these trends by funding more deserving businesses across all of America, not solely tech startups in Silicon Valley.
We're a team of founder types: enjoy autonomy, responsibility, the opportunity to learn, and no red tape. Just make it happen.
Your Role
Assist with back-end money operations. Help ensure that founders and Wefunder are paid accurately and on time.
Track a robust pipeline of companies—stay up to date on their status and know them like the back of your hand.
Serve as an internal resource for all payment-related issues and processes, understanding how and when payments run and what can affect them.
Support the Wefunder system through reconciling, processing, and optimizing how the team handles funds.
Help improve disbursement and revenue processes so they become faster, more reliable, and more accurate.

Requirements

• You have experience supporting back-end financial or payment operations, with attention to accuracy and timeliness.
• You ruthlessly prioritize. You'll be a point person for our entire team as they go through the crazy process of fundraising and the ultimate goal - getting the funds - on top of having dozens of competing priorities. You know how to separate the wheat from the chaff.
• You're a clear communicator who can collaborate with internal teams and escalate issues when needed.
• You thrive in ambiguity. You're comfortable learning quickly and asking a lot of questions. You prefer being thrown in the deep end. You aspire to learn every small detail about the fundraising and funding process.
• You have incredible organizational skills. You can manage internal operations, calls, and debugging—all while making sure that no balls get dropped when dealing with dozens of founders.
• You're highly accountable and reliable. If you say you'll do something, you'll get it done.
