(Sr) Manager, Strategic Finance & Business Operations - GTM

Verkada•San Mateo, CA

1d•$190,000 - $245,000

About The Position

This is an exciting opportunity to partner closely with our go-to-market teams at a high growth pre-IPO startup, as part of Verkada’s growing Strategic Finance & Business Operations team. You will play a critical role as an analytical thought partner to our Sales & Marketing leaders to drive topline planning and goal-setting, manage spend allocation decisions, deepen our understanding of ROI on our GTM investments, and drive strategic projects that move the needle on company growth.

Requirements

6-8+ years of progressive high growth experience. You’re coming to us from a Growth, Strategic Finance, Business Operations, Sales Operations, or other highly analytical role at a fast growing startup, and may have begun your career in investing, management consulting, and/or investment banking.
High analytical horsepower paired with strong modeling and data skills. You can effortlessly translate business concepts and frameworks to well structured spreadsheet models, and have the analytical toolkit to autonomously generate insights through data.
Attention to detail and strong strategic instincts. You are meticulous in ensuring your and others’ output is precise and error-free, but pair this with a strong sense for 80/20 to know when things “pass the smell test” and what is critical vs. secondary to an answer.
A growth mindset and comfort with ambiguity. You are comfortable working in a fast-paced startup environment that will require you to create structure out of ambiguity, manage often competing priorities, and pivot quickly when circumstances change.
Excellent communication and partnership skills. You can effectively engage with a diverse array of stakeholders ranging from sales reps to engineers, and build the credibility, relationships, and buy-in necessary to strike the delicate balance between partnering and constructive challenging that this role requires.
A team player with a low “ego to smarts ratio”. You bring a positive, learn-it-all (not know-it-all) energy to your teams, and are generally known for being great to work with. Life is short… we want to enjoy the time we spend with our colleagues!

Nice To Haves

Prior experience working on or closely partnering with Sales leaders or data-driven Growth teams is a plus.
Fluency in database concepts, SQL, and the latest AI tools is a big plus… you use AI to supercharge (not substitute for) your strong technical capabilities!
