Verkada is a leader in cloud-based B2B physical security. Verkada offers six product lines — video security cameras, access control, environmental sensors, alarms, workplace and intercoms — integrated with a single cloud-based software platform.
Designed with simplicity and scalability in mind, Verkada gives organizations the real-time insight to know what could impact the safety and comfort of people throughout their physical environment, while empowering them to take immediate action to minimize security risks, workplace frustrations and costly inefficiencies.
Founded in 2016 with more than $460M in funding raised to date, Verkada has expanded rapidly with 16 offices across three continents, 2,100+ full-time employees and 28,000+ customers across 70+ countries.
This is an exciting opportunity to help build the Sales Finance function at a high growth pre-IPO startup, as part of Verkada’s growing Strategic Finance team. As an early member of the team, you will play a critical role partnering cross-functionally as a trusted advisor to our various go-to-market teams to drive financial insights, decision-making rigor, and operational excellence, and help Verkada reach the next level of scale and operating sophistication in the process.
In this role, you will:
- Partner closely with leaders across the Sales org, including related sales support teams (Sales Operations, Sales Development, Solutions Engineering, and Channel Sales)
- Be the primary owner of Verkada’s topline forecasting models, improving visibility and predictability of both our quarterly results as well as the company’s long term trajectory
- Define, build, and monitor core GTM metrics and management dashboards, and facilitate planning and goal-setting processes in Sales
- Build business cases for new initiatives and drive ad hoc analysis for these teams’ most critical business questions
- Get sh*t done! Be comfortable rolling up your sleeves and getting into the weeds to drive impact on a daily basis… we knock out today’s problems while also balancing our need to build for the long-term
We’re looking for:
- 2-5+ years of top tier professional experience. You’re coming to us from a Strategic Finance, Business Operations, Private Equity, Investment Banking, or other highly analytical role at a fast growing startup.
- High analytical horsepower paired with strong financial modeling skills. You can effortlessly translate business concepts to well structured spreadsheet models, and are excited to learn new analytical tools and generate insights through data.
- High attention to detail and strong strategic instincts. You are meticulous in ensuring your and others’ output is precise and error-free, but pair this with a strong sense for 80/20 to know when things “pass the smell test” and what is critical vs. secondary to an answer.
- A growth mindset and comfort with ambiguity. You are comfortable working in a fast-paced startup environment that will require you to create structure out of ambiguity, manage often competing priorities, and pivot quickly when circumstances change.
- Excellent communication and partnership skills. You can effectively engage with a diverse array of stakeholders ranging from sales reps to engineers, and build the credibility, relationships, and buy-in necessary to strike the delicate balance between partnering and constructive challenging that this role requires. Fantastic written and verbal communication skills are a must.
- A team player with a low “ego to smarts ratio”. You bring a positive, learn-it-all (not know-it-all) energy to your teams, and are generally known for being great to work with. Life is short… we want to enjoy the time we spend with our colleagues!
