Leader of Finance at Lumos

Every breach, every failed audit, every new hire stuck in onboarding purgatory traces back to the same question: who has access to what — and should they?

Identity is where modern companies break. Too much access leaks data. Too little grinds the business to a halt. Lumos is the industry's first Autonomous Identity Platform — software that doesn't just surface access risk, but acts on it. We started with a self-service AppStore and grew into the critical infrastructure connecting apps, identities, and data for GitHub, MongoDB, Mars, Pinterest, Anduril, Intercom, Roku, and Netskope. At the center is Albus, our AI agent for identity — mining roles, approving access, and catching the drift humans miss.

You'll ship work that thousands of IT and security teams touch every day. You'll own problems without playbooks, because the category is being redefined in real time — by us.

✨ Your Responsibilities

• Build the financial blueprint that takes Lumos from where we are today to $100M ARR over the next three years.

• Help us evolve from seat-based pricing into a true AI tool, with a real model behind how we charge for agents and AI identities.

• Build a high-leverage Finance team that uses AI to do the work of a much bigger one.

• Run a tight Finance machine the org trusts, with clean numbers, disciplined spend, and healthy banking and compliance.

• Be the financial voice in the room with the Head of Sales, Head of Engineering, COO, and CEO, making every leader sharper at their job.

• Own the board, investor updates, and banker relationships, keeping us ready for the next round at all times.

🙌 What We're Looking For

• You have been the #2 or #3 in Finance at a $100M+ private company, or the Head of Finance at a growth-stage company. You have closed a real round. You have built a capacity model for a sales-led enterprise GTM motion. You know the difference between optimization and transformation, and you have driven the latter.

• You are AI-native. You use Claude or equivalent every day. You can name three things you stopped doing manually in the last 12 months.

• You catch errors before anyone else does. You get nervous when something does not add up. You also know when to step back and let the operator make the call.

• You are good at the small things and the big things. You hire well. You get a charge from being in the room when the company makes its biggest calls.

⭐️ What We Value

We also care about whether you would be a good fit for Lumos based on the values and characteristics that define how we achieve outcomes, not just your resume.

Thank you for considering Lumos, we hope to hear from you! 🎉
