WHO WE ARE Verkada is transforming how organizations protect their people and places with an integrated, privacy-sensitive AI-powered platform that includes solutions for video security, access control, air quality sensors, alarms, intercoms, and visitor management. We’ve got serious momentum in the market: more than 30,000 customers (including 100+ of the Fortune 500), a $5.8B valuation, more than $1 billion in annualized bookings, and backing from CapitalG, Sequoia Capital, General Catalyst, Felicis Ventures, Next47 and more. Physical AI is one of the most consequential technology shifts of our time, and Verkada is at the center of it. You can look at all kinds of communities to see our platform’s impact in the world. It's the retailer that uses our agentic AI to deter theft before it happens. The warehouse that uses AI-powered alerts to make sure its team is protected on the floor with proper PPE. The school that’s alerted to a threat in real-time and triggers a lockdown in seconds, not minutes. We’re rapidly scaling this impact: today, more than 2 million Verkada devices are deployed across 170+ countries. ABOUT THE ROLE This is an exciting opportunity to join a lean but growing Strategic Finance & Business Operations team at a high-growth pre-IPO startup. You will play a critical role as an analytical thought partner to various leaders and teams across Verkada to drive business insights, decision-making rigor, and operational excellence, helping us reach the next level of scale and operating sophistication in the process. Depending on interest, we currently have roles open in both our Product and GTM pillars. In this role, you will: * Be the primary business partner to several of our senior leaders * Drive financial planning and budgeting as the accountable owner for key portions of our several hundred million dollar budget * Define the management dashboard / key operating metrics that help us understand the health of our business, and generate deep insights around our performance * Identify opportunities to improve resource allocation and operating efficiency, and work cross-functionally to tackle critical change projects to realize these opportunities * Help us operate the business at the next level of scale through better tooling, self-serve automation, and internal processes We’re looking for: * 2-6+ years of top tier professional experience. You’re coming to us from a Strategic Finance, Business Operations, Sales Operations, FP&A, or other highly analytical role at a fast growing company, 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. 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! * 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! * Must be willing and able to work onsite five days per week in San Mateo, California.
