📋 Description

• Vannevar Labs supports people on the front lines by building tools that deter and de-escalate conflict with America’s adversaries. • We build software and hardware for this mission that enable our customers to maintain maritime vigilance, disrupt misinformation, and collect non-traditional intelligence. • This mission has become urgent. The US and our allies are fighting a war of deterrence with woefully outdated technology. • Since our founding in 2019, we have grown to support a wide range of missions and capabilities across all U.S. service branches, multiple combatant commands, partner nations, and the intelligence community. • You’ll play a critical role in shaping the company’s financial future—leading M&A due diligence, refining our revenue and pricing operations, and supporting strategic planning across the business. • You’ll own high-impact work streams, everything from evaluating acquisition targets to improving unit economics and building models that guide key decisions.

🎯 Requirements

• 7+ years of experience in finance, accounting, or strategic finance, ideally with exposure to government contracting or SaaS business models. • Strong background in M&A due diligence, transaction structuring, and financial modeling. • Deep understanding of financial statements, revenue operations, and key SaaS and/or government financial metrics. • Experience optimizing finance processes and implementing systems for scaling financial operations. • Ability to work cross-functionally, providing clear financial insights to both technical and non-technical teams. • Low-ego, high-ownership mindset—comfortable working in ambiguity, building from scratch, and taking initiative.

🏖️ Benefits

• Health, dental, and vision insurance • 100% remote first culture. You can work from anywhere in the US and all full time employees have WeWork access • Unlimited PTO including competitive vacation and holiday schedules • Lifestyle stipends - Monthly mental health, wellness & fitness stipend, in-home office setup stipend and family planning assistance • Salary top-up during military reserve duty • Fully paid parental leave • Child and pet care reimbursement during travel
