ABOUT ZEROFOX

ZeroFox protects what's real by removing what isn't. We steadfastly safeguard organizations from fraud, abuse, misinformation, and attack by preemptively exposing, disrupting, and eliminating external threats across the public attack surface — because when people can't tell what's real, they stop trusting everything.

ZeroFox uniquely fuses Cyber Threat Intelligence, Brand and Domain Protection, Attack Surface Intelligence, Executive Protection, and Physical Security Intelligence in one platform packed with intelligence you'll actually use. Our continuous cycle — Discover, Validate, Disrupt — helps thousands of customers worldwide, including leaders in finance, media, technology, retail, healthcare, and government, reduce risk, accelerate response, and defend their world.

We're growing fast, investing deeply in AI, and building a team of people who are serious about results and never take themselves too seriously. If you're ready to take the fight to the adversary, come defend your world with us.

WHAT ZEROFOX WILL LOOK LIKE TO YOU

This role sits inside a finance function that runs on private-equity discipline — every forecast gets stress-tested, every number has to hold up under board and sponsor review. You'd be joining at a moment when SaaS metrics like ARR, NRR, and CAC aren't just tracked, they're the language leadership uses to make real decisions. The Manager, FP&A seat is where financial rigor turns into actual influence over how the business runs.

THE ROLE

You'll own the monthly forecast and annual budget process end-to-end — building the model, defending the variance, and turning "the numbers moved" into a clear answer for why and what happens next. You'll build and maintain the operating model, board reporting package, and PE sponsor deliverables, and you'll be the person tracking the SaaS metrics — ARR, NRR/GRR, CAC, LTV, and departmental unit economics — that tell leadership whether the business is actually working. You'll partner directly with functional leaders on department-level forecasts, hold the line on budget accountability, and support the CFO on ad hoc analysis: pricing decisions, headcount planning, deal economics, scenario modeling. You'll work closely with Accounting to keep forecast and actuals talking to each other, and you'll have real license to improve the FP&A tech stack as ZeroFox scales — less time reconciling spreadsheets, more time on analysis that changes decisions.

THE REALITY

YOU'LL THRIVE HERE IF...

• You want ownership of real numbers, not a seat that just reports on them
• You can build a model once and defend it in front of a board or a PE sponsor without flinching
• You translate SaaS performance into the language a private equity sponsor expects — not just what the metrics are, but what they mean
• You've actually used AI tools like Claude, Copilot, or ChatGPT to speed up modeling and reporting, not just talked about wanting to
• You can run budgeting, forecasting, and board cycles at the same time without letting one slip

THIS PROBABLY ISN'T FOR YOU IF...

• You need the model handed to you — this role builds it from scratch
• You're looking for a reporting-only seat; this role expects you to hold functional leaders accountable to their budget
• You want a forecast cycle that's slow and consensus-driven — this one moves fast and belongs to you
• You think "good enough" is fine for board reporting — sponsor-grade means every number holds up to scrutiny

THE TOOLKIT

YOU'LL NEED TO BRING:

• 5+ years of FP&A experience, including time at a SaaS or subscription-based company
• Direct experience reporting into a PE-backed or PE-owned finance organization
• Advanced financial modeling skills — you build models other people can actually follow and audit
• Fluency in SaaS metrics and the ability to explain what they mean, not just report them

WOULD LOVE, BUT WE WON'T HOLD IT AGAINST YOU:

• Experience with FP&A and ERP tooling (NetSuite, Adaptive Insights, Anaplan, or similar)
• Sharp Excel/Google Sheets skills, plus comfort with SQL or BI tools (Looker, Tableau, Power BI)
• Hands-on experience using AI tools (Claude, Copilot, ChatGPT, or similar) to speed up modeling, analysis, and reporting
• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field; MBA, CPA, or CFA a plus

THE OTHER STUFF

Compensation range: $125,000 – $145,000 base + $10,000 bonus. 

• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage
• 401(k) with company match
• Unlimited PTO
• Remote-friendly culture with a Baltimore HQ home base
