About the Role

We are hiring a VP Finance to build and lead a world-class finance function as we scale.

What You’ll Do

• Lead all financial planning, budgeting, forecasting, and reporting.
• Own company-wide cash flow management, P&L, and balance sheet.
• Drive profitability and efficiency across the business as a core advisor to the CEO and leadership team.
• Partner with AWS on cost structure, incentives, and FinOps strategy.
• Oversee bookkeeping, payroll, tax, and regulatory compliance (IL + global).
• Manage customer billing, AWS usage reconciliation, and collections.
• Own audit readiness, monthly close, and reporting accuracy.
• Implement and improve financial systems (ERP, accounting, billing).
• Lead automation projects for invoicing, reporting, and forecasting, leveraging tools such as Zapier/Make to optimize repetitive processes.
• Ensure data visibility and consistency reporting across the business.
• Hire, mentor, and manage a high-performing finance team.
• Develop FP&A capabilities to support data-driven decision-making.
• Support GTM, operations, and Engineering teams on finance matters.

What We’re Looking For

• Certified Public Accountant (CPA) with relevant academic degrees.
• 8+ years in senior finance roles, including team leadership in fast-scaling tech, SaaS, or cloud companies (Big 4 background preferred).
• Strong track record with financial modeling, budgeting, and strategy.
• Deep understanding of Israeli tax and global finance practices.
• Hands-on experience with ERPs (NetSuite, Priority), Excel, and automation tools.
• Proven track record working with C-level executives and cross-functional teams.
• Strong analytical skills, attention to detail, strategic thinking capabilities, and the ability to execute tasks hands-on effectively.
• Excellent interpersonal and leadership skills.
• Fluent in Hebrew and English - both written and spoken.
• Familiar with FinOps principles and AWS billing/incentive structures.

Why Join Us?

• Shape a global finance function. Play a key role in building the financial backbone of a company already on the path to global growth.
• Build from the ground up! This is a rare opportunity to create structure from scratch - owning systems, processes, policies, and financial infrastructure at scale.
• There is room to grow with us - this is a chance to lead and evolve with the company.
• High-impact, strategic role, work directly with the CEO and executive team to influence company-wide strategy, growth, and profitability.
• Drive efficiency and innovation by leveraging AI tools and financial automation platforms.
• Tackle real complexity, engage with international operations, transfer pricing, and nuanced billing/partner models across regions.
