Full Job Description
Description
About the Role
Perimeter is looking for a Senior Analyst to partner with the CFO. This is a high-visibility, cross-functional role reporting directly to the CFO. This person will be a key strategic finance partner to leadership and the business, working across capital activities, growth strategy, pricing, financial modeling, board communications, and special projects that touch every part of the business, from technical delivery to corporate development.
This is a role for someone who's comfortable with ambiguity, ready to super-charge the finance organization via AI, moves easily between analytics and executive conversations, and wants broad exposure to running a start up rather than a narrowly scoped function.
Responsibilities
Deep thinking on growth & scaling: Help define the path forward, build decision-making frameworks, and lead special projects in service of scaling Perimeter's mission and driving profitable growth.
Strategic finance & board materials: Support the CFO on strategic finance initiatives, including preparing board materials and other executive-level communications
Cross-functional partnering: Arm business leaders across Perimeter with the analysis and data they need to stay aligned with each other and to balance short-term needs against long-term goals
Modeling and pricing: Own and drive long-term operational and financial models for specific business areas and specifically pricing across USG and international programs, grounded in a real understanding of the underlying business and technical drivers
Special projects:
Partner with the CFO and leadership on capital-raising activities, including equity and debt financing rounds, due diligence preparation, investor presentations, and financial data room management.
Evaluate key initiatives, business models, risks, and opportunities as they surface across Perimeter's technical, commercial, capital planning, and corporate development functions. One current example: helping build a demand roll-up system that supports data-driven decisions at both the bid and execution phases of programs
