- Proven ability to build and lead FP&A functions to a mature, system-driven planning organization with strong process rigor and cross-functional credibility
- Exceptional financial modeling skills with the ability to operate at multiple altitudes
- Strong executive presence and communication skills; you can distill complex financial dynamics into clear, actionable narratives
- Experience owning a company-wide planning cycle, including annual operating plan, long-range plan, quarterly reforecasting, and board reporting
- Track record of building effective partnerships with GTM, Product, and Accounting leaders, bringing commercial judgment and a point of view, not just analysis

- Open to using AI to amplify your skills and strengthen your work - demonstrating curiosity, a willingness to learn, and sound judgment in applying AI responsibly to improve efficiency and impact
What the job involves
- As the Senior Director, FP&A at Vanta, you will own our annual planning, forecasting, and long-range financial model end-to-end, serving as the primary financial partner to the executive team while building the processes, infrastructure, and team that scale FP&A through our next phase of growth
- Vanta's FP&A team exists to ensure focus goes to the places that compound. We turn complex financial signals into clear decisions, give leaders across GTM, EPD, and G&A the visibility to plan with confidence, and hold the business accountable to the unit economics that sustain durable, efficient growth
- As the owner of the annual planning cycle and the long-range model, you set the financial framework against which the rest of the company plans, and as the executive team's primary finance partner, you translate that framework into the investment decisions that shape where Vanta goes next. Building a mature, automated FP&A function is how you make that rigor repeatable as we scale
- Own the annual planning and quarterly forecasting process end-to-end, driving alignment across GTM, EPD, and G&A on headcount, OPEX, and revenue assumptions with clear accountability at every layer of the business
- Serve as the primary financial business partner to our executive team, delivering board-ready financial packages, leading BvA meetings, scenario analyses, and investment frameworks
- Build and maintain the company's long-range financial model, tracking ARR, NRR, CAC/LTV, and unit economics across all customer segments
- Drive product-level and segment-level P&L analysis, surfacing ARR performance to inform pricing & packaging, EPD investment, and go-to-market decisions
- Partner with the accounting and rev rec teams to ensure our forecast methodology aligns with actuals and ensures long-term scalability
- Lead the development of an enterprise-grade FP&A infrastructure, including planning tooling and reporting automation that gives the business real-time visibility into performance and variance
- Lead and develop a high-performing FP&A team, building career paths, instilling analytical standards, and creating a culture of precision and urgency
Our take
The security auditing process is usually very time-consuming, taking hours to complete, and it is often difficult for startups to invest time into such a process. Yet, the benefits of security accreditation are enormous, mainly as many such businesses are working globally and need ways to demonstrate security compliance to one another. Vanta works specifically with startups to help them complete and pass security audits such as SOC 2 and ISO 27001.
The company is a compliance portal and security monitoring platform that businesses use to assess their risk levels. Vanta carries out a pre-audit of a company's digital security and highlights areas that need to be worked on before a full analysis of all threats is carried out. Other businesses such as Datadog or PagerDuty offer similar security monitoring services, but Vanta monitors its customers throughout the year, allowing any issues to be identified and addressed early on.
Vanta's latest $150M raise, boosting its valuation to $4.15B, highlights the company's rapid growth and strong market position. With AI-driven automation, expanding government partnerships, and strategic acquisitions on the horizon, Vanta is scaling quickly while solving real customer problems. Backed by a talented leadership team and a growing customer base, the company looks set to continue its upward trajectory and build a lasting, sustainable business.
