VP of Finance

Role Description

SE Ranking is looking for a VP Finance to join our leadership team and become the CEO’s partner on financial planning, business performance, capital allocation, long-term value creation, and leadership of the company’s Finance and Legal functions.

The successful candidate will lead the Finance function, serve as a key member of the leadership team, and help build the capabilities, team, and operating discipline required to support a significantly larger and more complex business.

This role is not about maintaining the status quo. It is about helping leadership answer questions such as:

• Where should we invest for the highest long-term return?
• How should we balance growth and profitability?
• How do we allocate resources across products, markets, and initiatives?
• What financial outcomes should we expect from major business decisions?
• How do we build a company capable of operating successfully at significantly greater scale?

The VP Finance will report directly to the CEO and serve as a member of the leadership team.

Qualifications

• Experience leading finance within a SaaS business, ideally between $20M and $100M ARR
• Strong background across FP&A, business performance, financial leadership, and finance operations
• Proven experience building or materially upgrading a finance function
• Deep understanding of SaaS metrics, recurring revenue models, forecasting, unit economics, and capital allocation
• Experience developing multi-year operating plans and supporting executive decision-making
• Ability to connect company strategy with financial outcomes and operational execution
• Experience partnering with CEOs, leadership teams, Boards, lenders, investors, or private equity stakeholders
• Strong executive presence and communication skills
• Ability to operate as both a strategic leader and hands-on builder
• Experience leading teams and developing future leaders
• Experience working in multi-entity, international environments
• Comfortable operating in a remote-first, globally distributed organization

Requirements

• CPA or equivalent professional qualification
• Experience in PE-backed, VC-backed, or founder-led SaaS businesses
• Experience with audit readiness, financial governance, and finance transformation initiatives
• Experience supporting acquisitions, integrations, financing activities, or strategic transactions
• Experience scaling finance organizations through periods of rapid growth and increasing complexity
• Experience overseeing legal, compliance, governance, or other corporate functions
• Strong interest in automation, AI, and modern finance systems

Success in This Role

Within the first 12–18 months, success would include:

• Reliable forecasting, planning, and operating review processes that improve company decision-making
• Strong visibility into growth, profitability, efficiency, and investment performance
• Increased confidence from the Board, lenders, investors, auditors, and leadership team
• Improved financial discipline around resource allocation and investment decisions
• Successful modernization of finance systems and reporting infrastructure
• A Finance and Legal organization that is both operationally excellent and strategically influential
• Financial capabilities, governance, and reporting quality that support the company’s next stage of growth and complexity

Why Join SE Ranking

This is an opportunity to become the senior finance leader of a profitable, growing SaaS company with global reach, strong fundamentals, and significant ambition. You will work directly with the CEO and Board, help shape the company’s future, and build Finance and Legal functions that play a central role in strategy, execution, governance, and long-term value creation.

For the right candidate, this role offers significant ownership, executive visibility, and the opportunity to build and lead a world-class Finance organization as SE Ranking continues to scale.
