The universal API for meeting video, audio and metadata
About Recall.ai
Recall is the universal API for meeting bots. Our unified API captures data from meeting platforms like Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Google Meet. We support over 1000 companies today, and process millions of hours of meeting data every year. We provide a simple API to a problem that typically takes our customers more than a year to build in house, and a team of 5 to maintain forever.
We’re at an inflection point in our growth. In a market where everyone is mining for gold, we’re selling shovels. We grew 1300% last year to multi-million ARR, and serve category leaders such as Calendly, Apollo.io, Instacart, Mindtickle, and more. Our NRR is 150%.
About the role
Recall.ai’s mission is to make it easy for developers to work with conversation data.
Conversations have become the world’s largest dataset. Every year there are more words spoken over phone calls & video conferences than on every webpage on the internet.
Today we power 1,000+ companies, process millions of meeting hours per year, and generate $14m+ ARR.
About the Role
As Head of Finance, you will own Recall.ai’s financial strategy, planning and operations—driving the end-to-end FP&A process, partnering closely with leadership and being fully responsible for our finance function. You’ll translate complex data into clear recommendations, and embed financial rigor across product, sales and engineering teams.

Deep cross-functional impact. You’ll advise product, marketing and sales on ROI, resource allocation and go-to-market spend.
Why You Shouldn’t Join
