Job description

ABOUT LVT

LVT is redefining how businesses operate in the physical world, moving beyond traditional security solutions to deliver AI-driven, actionable intelligence that makes sites smarter, safer, and more secure. Since pioneering our first mobile, solar-powered units, our commitment to scrappy, hands-on innovation has made us an established leader and one of the fastest-growing companies in intelligent site technology. We are building the next generation of solutions—from our physical units in the field to a powerful Agentic AI platform—that allows our customers to gain unprecedented visibility and control over safety, compliance, and operations. This is your chance to join a cutting-edge team that isn't just watching the world change, but actively building the technology that is changing it.

We’re a team that’s focused on growth and innovation, and we’re proud that our crew, products, and leadership are being recognized for it.

• A Top-Tier Growth Company: Named one of the Financial Times’ Fastest Growing Companies 2025 and #10 on the Inc. 5000 Rocky Mountain Regional list for 2025.

• Innovative Leadership: Our CEO, Ryan Porter, was named an EY Entrepreneur of the Year 2025, and our CTO, Steve Lindsey, was inducted into the Silicon Slopes CTO Hall of Fame in 2024.

• Product & Software Excellence: We were named one of The Software Report’s Top 100 Software Companies of 2023 and are a winner of the Security Today Govies Award for 2025.

ABOUT THIS ROLE

As LVT scales toward our next phase of growth, we’re adding a Senior Financial Analyst to our FP&A team, a senior individual contributor role built for someone who wants to own R&D finance end to end. You’ll bring predictability to how we budget, forecast, and evaluate return on our R&D and product development spend, and you’ll become the embedded finance partner our Engineering and Product leaders turn to first. Outside of R&D, you’ll support many of our operational leaders and lead special projects: high-priority, cross-functional analyses that inform decisions at the CFO and President level. This is a chance to build the financial discipline around R&D at a scaling hardware and SaaS company.

This is an in-office role based at our headquarters in American Fork, UT.

ROLE RESPONSIBILITIES

R&D Finance & Business Partnership

• Build and own the forecasting and budgeting process for R&D and product development spend, replacing ad hoc estimates with a repeatable, driver-based model.

• Serve as the embedded finance partner to Engineering and Product leadership, translating roadmap and headcount decisions into financial impact and financial constraints into roadmap tradeoffs.

• Lead ROI and capacity planning analysis for R&D investments, helping leadership decide which initiatives get funded, deferred, or cut.

• Establish forecasts and tracking for software and product development costs in partnership with Accounting, ensuring R&D spend is classified and reported correctly.

• Build headcount and hiring plans for Engineering and Product in partnership with People and R&D leadership, tying growth to budget and roadmap milestones.

• Build the trusted, senior-level relationships with R&D and Product leaders needed to influence spend decisions before they become budget problems, not after.

Special Projects

• Participate and lead high-priority, cross-functional analyses (margin expansion, unit economics, pricing, profitability studies) at the direct request of the CFO, President, or VP of FP&A.

• Own ad hoc financial modeling and analysis that supports company-wide strategic decisions, often on compressed timelines and with direct executive visibility.

• Partner across Engineering, Product, Operations, and Supply Chain as needed to support broader FP&A forecasting and reporting cycles.

OUR IDEAL CANDIDATE

• Proven FP&A Depth: 4-7+ years in FP&A, corporate finance, or strategic finance, with real ownership of a budget or spend area end to end.

• R&D Finance Fluency: You understand how to forecast and control engineering and product development spend, including the distinction between capitalized and expensed R&D costs.

• Hardware + SaaS Fluency: You understand gross margin dynamics across both a hardware COGS structure and a recurring-revenue SaaS model, and can speak to both credibly.

• Trusted Cross-Functional Partner: You build real relationships with technical leaders in Engineering and Product, and hold your own in a room with VPs and above without losing the room in financial jargon.

• Recognized Modeling Authority: You’re the person others come to when a model breaks or a forecast doesn’t tie out. Deep, expert-level fluency in driver-based financial modeling in Excel/Sheets.

• Systems Command: Hands-on experience with ERP, Financial Forecasting (Adaptive-preferred), and AI leveraging, with the judgment to know when a process needs to move out of a spreadsheet.

• Self-Directed Operator: You take ambiguous, high-visibility asks and build the process as you go.

• Builder’s Mindset: You’re comfortable being an early, high-leverage IC hire on a growing team, building processes the company will run on for years.

BENEFITS

We believe you do your best work when your whole life is supported. We invest in our crew’s health, families, and financial futures with a benefits package designed to support you inside and outside the office. Full-time benefits include, but not limited to: Comprehensive health, dental and vision coverage, retirement benefits (401k match up to 4%), and flexible PTO.
