[Hiring] VP, FP&A - On-Prem Software (Subscription-Based Recurring Revenue) @Simplex.

Aug 27, 2025 - Simplex is hiring a remote VP, FP&A - On-Prem Software (Subscription-Based Recurring Revenue). Location: USA.

This is a 100% remote role based anywhere in the United States.

Our client, a fast-growing, private equity-backed network infrastructure/security software company, is looking for a VP/Head of FP&A.

The company:

• 9-12 months from a successful exit. Pitches are complete, and they are monitoring performance.
• 500+ employees
• 200+ million USD revenue with "low teens" historical growth
• Very sticky customer base (mid-90% retention)
• Profitable with "mid-30s" EBITDA
• Has acquired multiple companies over the last few years.

You will come in at the start of the transaction process and support the company through the sale. The company's business is complex, and there will be a very steep learning curve with limited time to get up to speed, so we are looking for someone who can come in and understand the nuances of working with on-prem revenue/ASC606 and how that impacts forecasting. There is a strong existing accounting support function that will work closely with the FP&A team.

Responsibilities

• Support the company through a successful sale/transaction over the next 9-12 months, interfacing with the PE sponsor as well as the buyer.
• Quickly gain a deep understanding of the business - forecasting, sales cycles (9+ months), revenue recognition (ASC606), customer expectations, operational complexities.
• Integration of 3 acquisitions and their data/platforms over the last few years.
• Lead P&L reporting and forecasting processes (monthly, quarterly, annual, and long-range plans) with high accuracy and transparency.
• Build, maintain, and present robust financial models and systems to support scenario planning, decision-making, and provide visibility into key metrics and KPIs.
• Manage a team of approximately 15 people.

Qualifications

• 15+ years in FP&A/Leadership with an emphasis on forecasting, financial analysis, and modeling.
• Familiarity with FP&A within on-premise software (subscription-based recurring revenue) environments is critical.
• Experience working at other equivalent network infrastructure/security software companies is ideal.
• Experience in an organization of similar scale (500+ employees, 200M+ revenue).
• Experience working under private equity sponsors—M&A, transaction, capital raising background.
• Background in banking, consulting, or due diligence/advisory earlier in your career is a plus.
• Track record of influencing leadership decisions through clear communication of complex data analysis.
• Experience thinking strategically about complex business problems, leading to recommendations and action plans.
