The company has raised $781M from top-tier investors including Andreessen Horowitz, ICONIQ Growth, and Sequoia. ElevenLabs operates three main platforms: ElevenAgents (voice and chat agents at scale), ElevenCreative (speech, music, image, and video generation across 70+ languages), and ElevenAPI (AI audio foundational models for developers). You will own the US income tax provision, compliance, and controls function, reporting to the Head of Tax. This is a hands-on ownership role managing ElevenLabs' US entity and approximately 9 international entities during a period of rapid growth.
