Light
AI-native finance platform for multi-entity accounting
Light exists to replace factory-era ERPs with software that feels alive. Our Smart Financial Platform gives modern, global companies superpowers - automated accounting, real-time reporting, and financial flows that move at the speed of the business.
We build with our customers, ship fast, and obsess over craft. In a short time, Light has gone from idea to the operating core for leading companies like Lovable, Legora, and Fuse Energy.
We're an early team defining a new software category. Think engineers who love debits and credits, designers who care about reconciliation states, and operators who treat finance as a product. If you're excited to modernise how companies run money, you're in the right place.
Backed by world-class investors including Balderton and Atomico and advised by industry titans, we're building category-defining products with the freedom to ship ambitiously and own outcomes. Come help us make Light the global default for next-gen finance.
Finance teams at fast-growing companies run global, real-time businesses on legacy ERPs and a roster of point solutions taped together.
Light gives them a way out.
Why run ten tools when one robust system can do the job? We build the finance solution that lets finance teams have it all, through three parts that work as one:
Our ledger records every transaction across every entity in real time, so the numbers hold up from day one.
Our apps adapt Light to how each business runs, from procurement to billing to reporting.
Our agents operate the repetitive work that used to need another hire, so finance teams spend their time on the decisions that matter.
Light started life in Copenhagen, made London its HQ and has global ambition. We believe we have the product and the team to transform the finance function the world over. Today we run it for companies like Lovable, Legora and Keyshot, with backing from Atomico, Balderton, Seedcamp, Cherry and Entrée.
We're looking for a US Marketing Manager to make Light the default finance platform for scaling companies across the United States. This is one of our first US roles, and you'll join alongside our US Sales Lead. The two of you will work side by side to build Light's brand and presence in the market, with the team in Europe a Slack message away.
The good news is you won't start from scratch. Many of our customers already run on Light in the US, from US-headquartered companies to European businesses with American operations. A network of accounting partners extends our reach, and our hackathons earlier this year, hosted with the likes of McKinsey and J.P. Morgan across the country, gave us a pulse in the market. Now, come on in and harness the the opportunity.
You'll join a small, ambitious marketing team of field marketers across Europe, product marketers, a designer, a videographer and a central growth team running demand generation in every market.
Building and running the US marketing plan with our US Sales Lead, with pipeline targets you share.
Running a field and events programme across the cities that matter to US finance leaders, from intimate CFO dinners to flagship moments people talk about for months.
Growing our network of accounting partners, along with the advisors, investors and communities that US finance leaders trust.
Localising our story, content and campaigns for American finance teams, and turning US customer stories into content people want to share.
Working with our central growth team to test and scale digital demand generation in the US.
Building relationships with US press and the people who shape the tech and finance conversation.
Enough years in the seat to know what works at a fast-growing company, ideally because you've built the ground game for a scaling B2B SaaS business in the US before.
A track record across field, events, partnerships and content, and the judgment to know which lever to pull and when.
Comfort working as one team with sales, implementation and customer success, and with colleagues on the other side of the Atlantic.
Deep curiosity about how AI is reshaping finance teams and the companies they serve.
A great storyteller across video, text and meme.
A can-do, empathetic and collaborative spirit. No brilliant assholes here, please.
A passport. Expect regular trips across the US and to our teams in London and Copenhagen.
*If the core of the role sounds compelling but you don't tick every box, we'd still love for you to reach out and convince us you're the right person.
A base salary of $88,000–$162,000 DOE (depending on experience).
Medical, dental and vision insurance, with your premiums fully covered by Light.
A 401(k) with a company match of up to 4% of your salary.
Life insurance at twice your salary, plus short- and long-term disability cover.
Potential stock options.
Unlimited paid time off, plus US public holidays.
Regular socials and two company offsites a year.
The chance to build Light’s US presence from the ground up as one of our first hires in the market.
Light is an equal opportunity employer.
If you love building from the ground up and want to plant the flag in the US for a company set on retiring the ERP the world over, let's talk.
Light provides an AI-native finance and accounting platform that replaces legacy ERP for hypergrowth companies. It handles multi-entity bookkeeping, accounts payable/receivable, expenses, payments, and consolidated reporting on a ledger built for very large data volumes, all in one system. The product works by offering cloud-based accounting across multiple entities, with an integrated ledger and processes for spending, invoicing, and payments, plus connections to infrastructure partners like JP Morgan, Adyen, and BDO to support banking and operations. This differentiates Light from competitors by focusing on AI-assisted, scalable ERP replacement tailored for fast-growing firms, enabling international expansion without long, multi-month ERP projects. Light’s goal is to streamline finance operations at scale, simplify international growth for its customers, and continue expanding its platform and engineering capacity to serve more companies.
