- Own revenue recognition under ASC 606
- Own and manage the annual external audit
- Partner with Sales Ops on the full quote-to-cash cycle, to ensure clean revenue recognition, ARR reporting, and commissions calculations

- Partner with the CFO on budgeting, forecasting, and strategic finance projects as the company grows

Our take
Today, many organizations have well-defined policies and processes in place for responding to security gaps in their network and software infrastructures. However, it is common for these practices to not cover newer or less prevalent technologies, such as cloud infrastructure. Because of this, companies now need a way to address these challenges more urgently than ever.
Brinqa is focused on solving this problem by providing the most comprehensive coverage for risk analysis and management across entire enterprise technology infrastructures. By orchestrating the entire cyber-risk lifecycle, Brinqa is empowering organizations to elevate their security control and manage their vulnerabilities all in one place.
Brinqa has continued to strengthen its market position through rapid enterprise growth, production innovation, and leadership expansion. On top of this, the company reported strong growth throughout 2025, alongside the launch of BrinqaIQ, an AI-powered capability designed to make cyber risk data more accessible and actionable across large enterprises. Alongside this, it has expanded its AI capabilities and cloud partnerships, further reinforcing its focus on scalable, data-driven exposure management.
