Description

FutureSight is seeking an experienced and visionary Founding CEO to lead the launch of a new AI-native loan covenant monitoring and compliance platform for mid-market borrowers. CFOs and controllers are stuck managing covenant compliance through brittle spreadsheets and manual reporting, translating real-time ERP data into rigid bank formats under constant risk of technical default. At the same time, banks and credit funds waste enormous analyst time chasing data and validating calculations instead of managing risk. We’re building a borrower-first compliance layer that sits between accounting systems and loan agreements. The platform automatically translates ERP data into lender-specific covenant logic, generates bank-ready compliance certificates, and surfaces early breach risk — without changing bank systems. This is an opportunity to build a category-defining AI platform in a $2B+ market, redefining how mid-market borrowers manage credit compliance. As Founding CEO, you will Win customers — Run pilots, shape pricing, and validate retention + expansion. Build the product — Work with FutureSight’s product/engineering pod to launch V1.
