  • Global Strategy and Efficiency Optimization: Leverage deep analytical insights to refine and optimize global operations, particularly focusing on the strategic significance of the India office. Implement benchmarking and best practices to drive continual improvement in EPD efficiency and effectiveness.
  • Executive Decision Support: Provide executive-level support by delivering actionable financial insights and analyses that drive strategic decision-making. Evaluate complex scenarios to inform resource allocation, technological investments, and strategic project selections.
  • Financial Stewardship and Governance: Uphold the highest standards of financial integrity and governance across R&D operations. Ensure a culture of accountability, transparency, and strategic foresight in financial planning and analysis practices.
  • Innovation and Infrastructure Savings: Identify and execute innovative projects to achieve aggressive infrastructure savings targets without compromising on growth or service quality. Report on progress and adapt strategies to meet evolving technological and market demands.
  • Infrastructure Forecasting: Manage detailed infrastructure forecasts and control spending to meet gross margin expectations. Forecast non-Cost of Revenue (COR) infrastructure and underlying unit economics, including per product margins.
Must Haves
  • A minimum of 10 years of experience in financial management within technology or cybersecurity sectors, with at least 5 years in a leadership role overseeing R&D or product development finance.
  • A master's degree in Finance, Business Administration, or a related field. Relevant certifications (e.g., CFA, CPA) are advantageous.
  • Experience successfully supporting and adding value to global organizations
  • Demonstrated ability to develop and execute financial strategies that support technological innovation and company growth.
