Description

Vega is one of the fastest-growing startups in cybersecurity, redefining security analytics and operations with an AI-native platform for the SOC. We are building the next-generation operating system for security teams - already delivering real impact at some of the world's largest organizations by improving detection, unlocking the value of their security data, and reducing cost and complexity. With HQs in New York and TLV, we're looking for people who want to be a part of the next rocket-ship in cyber.

The Role

You'll build Vega's financial planning and analysis function from scratch - no existing model, process, or team to inherit. You get to lay the foundation, run it yourself for the first year, and then build the team around it.

The most important part of this job, by far, is partnering with our go-to-market org. You'll sit shoulder-to-shoulder with Sales and Marketing leadership, turning pipeline into forecasts and financial insight into real commercial decisions. If you'd rather build models quietly in a corner, this probably isn't your role - we need someone who wants to be in the room.

What You'll Do

Business partnering with go-to-market (the heart of the job)

  • Be the finance partner Sales and Marketing leadership actually turns to - pipeline coverage, quota planning, headcount, spend
  • Own the revenue forecast, and keep it tightly connected to what's happening on the ground in go-to-market
  • Dig into unit economics: CAC, LTV, payback, margin by segment
  • Lead the financial thinking behind pricing and packaging decisions

Planning and models

  • Build and own the company's operating model - revenue, headcount, and expenses across every department
  • Build and maintain the model we use for fundraising, and support diligence with investors
  • Run the annual budget and rolling forecasts, and keep a clear eye on runway and scenario planning

Reporting and leadership

  • Build board materials - not just the slides, but the story behind them
  • Set up monthly reporting rhythms, variance analysis, and department budget reviews
  • After about a year, hire and lead your own FP&A team
Requirements

What You Bring

  • 8+ years in FP&A, strategic finance, or investment banking followed by an operating role
  • Startup experience: you've built FP&A foundations at an early or growth-stage company
  • Real fluency in SaaS metrics and unit economics
  • A track record of true partnership with go-to-market teams - this is what will set you apart from other candidates
  • Experience building fundraising models and board materials that leadership genuinely relied on
  • Expert-level modeling chops, and you're just as comfortable rolling up your sleeves solo as you are eventually leading a team
  • A communicator who can turn a spreadsheet into a decision, not just a report

Salary ranges: $180K-$220K, depending on experience and location

Skills Required

  • 8+ years in FP&A, strategic finance, or investment banking followed by an operating role
  • Startup experience building FP&A foundations at an early or growth-stage company
  • Fluency in SaaS metrics and unit economics (CAC, LTV, payback, margin)
  • Proven partnership with go-to-market teams (Sales and Marketing)
  • Experience building fundraising models and investor diligence/board materials
  • Expert-level financial modeling skills and hands-on modeling ability
  • Strong communication skills to translate analysis into commercial decisions
  • Experience hiring or leading an FP&A team (ability to build and manage a team)
