- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
- Comfort operating in ambiguity with imperfect data

What the job involves
- We’re hiring a Senior Finance Analyst to help us better understand our business and make faster, better decisions. This is not a reporting role. You’ll own the financial model, KPI infrastructure, and performance insights, working closely with the Head of FP&A as a true thought partner
- You’ll translate strategy into numbers, bring structure to ambiguity, and proactively surface insights that shape how we operate. This is a high-ownership role for someone who wants to drive impact, not just report on it
- If you’re excited by ambiguity, enjoy building from scratch, and want a seat at the table for real decisions, this is a high-impact opportunity
- Build, maintain, and continuously improve operating and cash flow models
- Translate strategic initiatives into scenarios (pricing, headcount, GTM changes)
- Stress-test assumptions and proactively surface risks and opportunities
- Evolve models as the business scales and changes
- Define and own core business and sales KPIs
- Build dashboards that leadership actively uses to make decisions
- Partner with Sales, Ops, and Finance to ensure metrics are accurate and actionable
- Continuously iterate on metrics that are not driving behavior or outcomes
- Analyze revenue, pipeline, sales efficiency, and unit economics
- Deliver clear insights on what’s happening, why it’s happening, and what to do next
- Proactively identify trends and issues before they show up in results
- Support high-impact ad hoc analyses tied to real business decisions
- Work closely with the Head of FP&A on strategic questions
- Bring data-backed hypotheses and perspectives
- Challenge assumptions constructively
- Help drive tradeoff decisions across growth, efficiency, and cash
Our take
Developers rely on open source code and apps in their day to day work, but when the provenance of the code is unknown this creates potential weaknesses that cybercriminals can exploit. Chainguard exists to build security into the coding supply chain by making it possible for companies to enforce security policies based on auditable signatures baked into the code.
In the wake of huge cyber attacks, software supply chain security has been an area of major focus. However, most of this has surrounded the scanning and detection of threats. Chainguard's approach comes from the other end of the process, focusing on building security into the software itself.
Built by former engineers who are aware of developer workloads, Chainguard is designed to be easily installed and integrated into existing automation systems. The company has secured substantial funding, the latest of which will support more aggressive product and R&D spending as it looks to further boost sales.
