The Opportunity
As Vice President of Finance, you will lead the Financial Planning and Analysis (FP&A) and Deal Desk functions during a critical phase of Flock Safety’s growth. This role is both strategic and hands-on — responsible for building a world-class team while serving as a trusted thought partner to the executive team. You’ll bring public-market rigor to a high-growth, private-company environment, elevating forecasting precision, GTM financial strategy, and decision-making across the business. This is an opportunity for a proven finance leader to shape how Flock plans, measures, and scales — helping the company operate like a public company well before it becomes one.
The Skillset
World-class FP&A leadership: Deep experience leading FP&A at a company meaningfully larger and more complex than Flock, with a demonstrated ability to scale financial planning, forecasting, and reporting.
Public-market mindset: Strong understanding of public company standards, including forecast accuracy, operating cadence, financial controls, and executive-level reporting expectations.
GTM & enterprise sales finance expertise: Proven experience partnering closely with Sales, Marketing, and RevOps — owning or deeply supporting GTM FP&A, enterprise sales motions, capacity modeling, pipeline economics, and ROI analysis.
High-velocity operator & builder: Thrives in fast-paced, ambiguous environments; brings a builder mentality to designing teams, processes, and financial infrastructure that scale with the business.
Exceptional business partnership: Trusted advisor to executives and functional leaders; collaborative, thoughtful, and influential, with the ability to translate financial insights into clear, actionable recommendations.
Strong people leader: Experience building and developing high-performing teams with clear ownership, accountability, and growth paths.
Feeling uneasy that you haven’t ticked every box? That’s okay; we’ve felt that way too. Studies have shown women and minorities are less likely to apply unless they meet all qualifications. We encourage you to break the status quo and apply to roles that would make you excited to come to work every day.
