About the role
VP Finance
Qodo is searching for a strategic and commercially-minded VP Finance to join as our first senior finance executive. This is a pivotal leadership role - you will own the financial architecture of a fast-scaling B2B SaaS company, operating as a trusted partner to the executive team while building the systems, processes, and team needed to fuel our next stage of growth.
As VP Finance, you will bring both strategic vision and hands-on execution to every aspect of our financial operations, from long-range planning and investor relations to revenue operations and regulatory compliance. You are a builder who thrives in ambiguity, moves fast, and can zoom in and out between board-level narratives and ground-level detail.
What will you own?
- Set the financial strategy and vision for Qodo, in close partnership with the leadership team
- Own full P&L accountability, annual budgeting, and multi-year financial planning
- Lead and mature our FP&A function, building scalable forecasting processes, tracking burn, headcount, and key SaaS performance metrics
- Translate complex financial data into clear strategic recommendations that drive growth, efficiency, and informed decision-making across the business
- Serve as a key financial voice in VC board meetings, presenting performance, runway, and budget impact with confidence and clarity
- Partner with the CEO, RevOps, and GTM leaders to model pricing strategies, optimize revenue, and design commission structures
- Oversee financial compliance, risk management, and internal controls across our global operations
- Ensure strong command of Israeli tax law and navigate US regulatory requirements as we scale internationally
Requirements:
- 8+ years in senior finance roles, with meaningful experience leading finance in a high-growth B2B SaaS startup environment
- Deep expertise in P&L ownership, budget management, and building scalable financial processes from the ground up
- Fluent in SaaS metrics- ARR, NRR, CAC, LTV, churn and how they connect to business strategy
- Hands-on experience with sales order management, billing operations, and revenue recognition, ideally using NetSuite
- Proven track record designing and managing complex commission structures and performance review cycles
- Strong command of Israeli tax and regulatory frameworks; US finance exposure is a significant advantage
- Exceptional communicator with the ability to influence at all levels — from board decks to cross-functional alignment with legal, GTM, and product teams
- Strategic thinker who is equally comfortable rolling up their sleeves and diving into the details
