About the Role
Abnormal Security is hiring a GTM Finance Manager to serve as the financial backbone of our Go-To-Market (GTM) organization—Sales, Customer Success, and Marketing. Reporting to the Sr. Director of GTM Finance, this role will drive planning, expense management, and operational visibility across the full GTM P&L.
This is both a strategic and highly operational role.

You’ll partner cross-functionally with GTM Ops and Finance leaders to harmonize planning frameworks, refine key metrics, and perform scenario analyses that inform international expansion, new GTM motions, and investment trade-offs.
The ideal candidate is an expert in GTM financial management with a forward-looking mindset—equally comfortable optimizing expenses, evaluating business cases, and deploying AI-enabled forecasting tools to improve accuracy and scalability. In a fast-growing, global cybersecurity enterprise, your impact will shape how we invest resources, measure performance, and accelerate sustainable growth.

- Executive Reporting & Insights: Deliver executive-ready reporting and analysis for GTM and Finance leadership, including variance analyses, ROI tracking, investment trade-offs, and strategic recommendations.
- Ad Hoc Strategic Projects: Support and lead special projects that cut across GTM functions, providing financial insight, bandwidth, and connective tissue between business units.
- Champion Forecasting Innovation: Introduce and champion modern, AI-enabled forecasting tools and methodologies to improve accuracy, scalability, and speed of decision-making
- Expense Optimization: Identify, track, and optimize GTM operating expenses, ensuring resources are allocated efficiently to maximize return on investment.

- Process Standardization & Automation: Build repeatable, scalable processes for planning and expense management, leveraging automation and advanced analytics to reduce manual effort.
