We are a diverse team of forward thinkers who empower each other to find creative and collaborative solutions in an industry ripe for modernization. We are passionate about the problems we’re solving for our customers and equally passionate about the company we’re building.

HiveWatch is here to help security teams pivot from chasing threats to preventing them. We protect organizations, people, and property through the intelligent orchestration of physical security programs. With better communication, more insights, and less “noise”, we are modernizing what it means for businesses and their employees to truly feel safe.

  • Founder with Deep Industry Expertise Ryan Schonfeld, Founder & CEO, began his career as a police officer and investigator before leading Global Security and Safety Technology at Fox Group. He founded HiveWatch to disrupt an antiquated physical security industry with AI-powered tools that free security operators from false alarms to focus on real threats.
  • Cutting-Edge AI Technology Security leaders are under tremendous pressure to modernize their function using AI, and HiveWatch is uniquely positioned to automate 90%+ of alarm responses for organizations, transforming how enterprise security teams work.
  • Culture of Ownership & Impact This is an environment where you can take genuine ownership, build meaningful relationships, and deliver results quickly. If you want to help build and scale a rapidly expanding organization with a real path to advance your career, this is the place.

About the Role

We are seeking a strategic, analytical, and hands-on Head of Finance to lead HiveWatch’s finance function through its next phase of growth. This role will be full-time and in-person at our headquarters in El Segundo, CA.

As a key member of our leadership team, you’ll report directly to the Co-Founder & CEO and partner closely with leaders across every team at HiveWatch. You’ll be responsible for driving the company’s financial strategy, planning, and operations, ensuring HiveWatch remains focused on value creation and capital-efficient growth.

This is a unique opportunity to build the finance function at a high-growth, Series B SaaS company—balancing strategic foresight with the willingness to roll up your sleeves and execute.

Key Responsibilities

Strategic Finance & Leadership

  • Serve as a strategic partner to the CEO and executive team, shaping company strategy through data-driven insights and financial discipline.
  • Develop and execute financial plans that align with HiveWatch’s growth, profitability, and capital efficiency objectives.
  • Establish a clear framework for measuring and communicating the company’s value drivers—ensuring alignment across teams on what truly moves the business.
  • Lead preparation of financial materials for the Board of Directors and investors; present performance, forecasts, and key strategic initiatives.
  • Partner with the CEO on capital strategy, fundraising, and investor relations.
  • Revenue Operations & Business Performance

  • Partner closely with the Head of Sales and Revenue Operations team to develop and maintain aggressive yet achievable business targets and operational rhythms.
  • Support forecasting, pipeline analysis, and performance tracking across all revenue streams, aligning GTM and Finance around shared objectives.
  • Implement scalable processes for revenue reporting, KPI tracking, and ROI analysis to support decision-making.
  • Financial Operations & Controls

  • Oversee accounting, FP&A, budgeting, and reporting processes to ensure timely, accurate financial information.
  • Build and maintain dashboards and systems that translate complex financial data into actionable insights for all stakeholders.
  • Ensure compliance with accounting standards, tax, and regulatory requirements.
  • Manage relationships with external auditors, banks, tax accountants, and other financial partners.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Partner with GTM, Product, and Operations leaders to evaluate business performance, pricing, and investment tradeoffs.
  • Drive accountability across the organization through clear metrics, financial transparency, and operational rigor.
  • Foster a culture of collaboration between finance and other departments to ensure financial considerations are embedded in all major decisions.
  • Required Qualifications

  • 10+ of experience in high growth strategic / corporate finance, investment banking, private equity, or similar roles.
  • Proven track record leading finance within a high-growth SaaS organization.
  • Strong background in FP&A, business modeling, and operational finance.
  • Demonstrated ability to partner with GTM teams (sales, marketing, and customer success) to drive revenue efficiency and accountability.
  • Hands-On operator — this role requires leadership, AND comfort “doing the work” in a fast-moving environment where teams are intentionally kept lean
  • Preferred Qualifications

  • Prior experience scaling a SaaS company from Series B through Series C or exit.
  • Experience building or enhancing financial systems and tools (NetSuite, Quickbooks, Salesforce, etc.).
  • Strong understanding of SaaS metrics such as ARR, NRR, CAC, LTV, sales efficiency, and payback period.
