Job Description

Our mission is to be the technology backbone for strategic competition against peer adversaries. These missions – including intelligence, information operations, special activities, and perception management – are happening today and their success or failure will determine if we go to war tomorrow.

We've been on the front lines of these missions since 2019, and have grown to support a wide range of missions across all US service branches, multiple combatant commands, partner nations, and interagency stakeholders. We deploy both hardware and software products to support people on the front lines that span collection, planning / assessments, and effects.

We've grown from $3M in run-rate revenue in 2021 to $80M in run-rate revenue today. We've been profitable since 2022 and have raised $91M in venture capital funding through Series B. We're valued at $1.5B as of 2025.

As Deputy Head of Finance, you’ll play a critical role in shaping the company’s financial future—leading M&A due diligence, refining our revenue and pricing operations, and supporting strategic planning across the business. You’ll own high-impact work streams, everything from evaluating acquisition targets to improving unit economics and building models that guide key decisions. We're looking for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, high-ownership environment—comfortable switching between tactical execution and long-term planning. You’ll work closely with the Head of Finance and the broader team to drive growth, support complex transactions, and ensure we have the financial infrastructure to scale.

• Experience optimizing finance processes and implementing systems for scaling financial operations.
• Ability to work cross-functionally, providing clear financial insights to both technical and non-technical teams.
