About The Position

At Armadin, we're a group of engineers, researchers, and security researchers on a mission to redefine what proactive security can do in the AI era. Cyberattacks are becoming autonomous and relentless and we believe defending against threats before they materialize is one of the most powerful ways to protect the institutions the world depends on. We're building autonomous proactive security from the ground up, reinforcing the tradecraft of elite security practioners into purpose-built security models and agents that discover risk and remediate it before organizations are breached. Led by Kevin Mandia, founder of Mandiant ($5.4B exit to Google), our team brings together researchers and engineers from Google, xAI, Meta, Stanford, Georgia Tech, Waterloo, Berkeley, and MIT to reinvent security for an adversary that never sleeps. As Sr Financial Analyst for GTM, you'll own the financial engine of our GTM organization. You'll manage top-line revenue and bookings, oversee commissions and incentive structures, track and control GTM OpEx (travel & expenses by region), and forecast with the precision that informs hiring, compensation, and strategic decisions. You'll partner directly with our Sales and Marketing leaders. You'll need to speak their language: understand territory dynamics, compensation mechanics, and contract structures. You'll also need to own the spreadsheets: build models, analyze actuals vs. forecast, and explain variance to leadership.
