Full Job Posting
Job Purpose
- We are seeking an experienced Chief Financial Officer to lead the financial strategy and operations of a growing cybersecurity company.
- The successful candidate will already have held senior finance leadership within the cybersecurity sector and will be able to evidence it.
- We are looking for a proven operator with a demonstrable track record of measurable results — scaling revenue, managing burn and runway, and delivering funding outcomes — in a comparable technology environment.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop and execute the company's overall financial strategy in alignment with business growth objectives.
- Partner with the CEO and Board on strategic planning, budgeting, forecasting, and long term financial modeling.
- Provide financial insights and scenario planning to support key business decisions (product investment, market expansion, M&A).
- Own the full P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow management.
- Deliver accurate, timely financial reporting to the CEO, Board, and investors.
- Establish and monitor KPIs and financial metrics relevant to a SaaS/cybersecurity business model (ARR, MRR, churn, CAC, LTV, burn rate, runway).
- Lead fundraising efforts (equity/debt), including preparing financial materials, data rooms, and investor presentations.
- Manage relationships with existing and prospective investors, banks, and financial partners.
- Support due diligence processes for funding rounds, partnerships, or M&A activity.
- Ensure compliance with relevant financial regulations, tax requirements, and corporate governance standards across all operating jurisdictions.
- Oversee financial risk management, including cybersecurity specific considerations (e.g., cyber insurance, financial controls around data/IP assets).
- Implement and maintain strong internal controls and audit processes.
Qualifications, Experience & Skills
- Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or related field; MBA or professional qualification (CPA, ACCA, CFA) strongly preferred.
- Minimum 10+ years of progressive finance leadership experience, including at least 3 5 years in a CFO, VP Finance, or senior finance leadership role.
- Direct, hands on senior finance leadership within the cybersecurity sector is mandatory — demonstrable, recent, and supported by verifiable references.
- Proven, evidenced fundraising experience (VC/PE) and/or investor relations, with specific deal outcomes the candidate can substantiate — round size, structure, valuation, and timeline.
- A demonstrable record of quantifiable achievements in prior senior finance roles — for example ARR/revenue grown from one level to another, gross margin improvement, burn reduced, runway extended, or a successful audit or exit.
