Liminal is the actionable intelligence company. We've built a proprietary Living Graph — a verified knowledge architecture that maps the real-time structure of Identity, Fraud, and Cybersecurity — and the agentic AI systems and human verification layer to make it trustworthy. Visa, Mastercard, Google, and JPMC use it to make strategic and revenue decisions. Series A, 80 people, offices in NYC, Salt Lake City, Porto, Lisbon, and Manila. The architecture works, the customers are real, and we're scaling the team.

The Role

Liminal is building the verified intelligence system trusted by Visa, Mastercard, Google, JPMC, and the world's leading platforms in Identity, Fraud, and Cybersecurity. We're Series A, 80 people, and entering the phase where operational discipline is the difference between a company that scales and one that stalls.

We're looking for a Director of Finance & Business Operations to be the operational backbone of the company. Reporting to the CFO, you'll support the finance function on FP&A while owning the internal systems that keep Liminal running — cross-functional reporting, HR and people operations, board and investor relations, and the special projects that don't have a home but need to get done well. You'll partner with every function, build the processes that enforce accountability, and ensure leadership has the clean data and clear visibility they need to make decisions fast.

This is a hands-on operator role, not a strategy-only position. You'll build dashboards and SOPs, run planning cycles and board prep, manage the OKR cadence and the ad-hoc fire drill in the same week. This is an AI-native role — you're expected to design operational systems that incorporate automation and scalable frameworks from the outset.

What Success Looks Like

In your first 30 days, you've mapped the operational landscape — financial reporting, people processes, planning rhythms, and system gaps — and identified the highest-leverage areas to improve.

In your first 90 days, you've become the CFO's right hand on FP&A reporting, taken ownership of board prep and the company operating cadence. Planning cycles and cross-functional reporting are running predictably. Leadership trusts the numbers.

In your first year, operational processes across Finance, People, and cross-functional programs are standardized and documented. Data systems are clean and reliable. Board and investor materials are sharp. The organization has experienced a meaningful reduction in operational friction — and you've built the infrastructure to sustain it as we scale.

What You'll Do

• Support the CFO on FP&A processes including budgeting, forecasting, monthly close reporting, and variance analysis — ensuring leadership has accurate, timely financial visibility
• Lead board and investor reporting — preparing materials, managing the cadence, and ensuring the narrative is clear, data-driven, and aligned with company strategy
• Coordinate the company's weekly, monthly, and quarterly operating rhythm — OKR setup, progress tracking, reporting, operating reviews, and follow-ups
• Partner with HR to support people operations — headcount planning, compensation analysis, organizational design, and process improvements across the employee lifecycle
• Build and maintain cross-functional dashboards, KPIs, and reporting that give leadership reliable visibility into business performance across Finance, GTM, Product, and Engineering
• Build scalable processes, document workflows, create SOPs, and implement systems that reduce friction and enforce accountability across the organization
• Lead special projects and cross-functional initiatives from scoping through execution — managing milestones, dependencies, and stakeholder communication
• Evaluate internal tools and systems, proposing improvements or automation opportunities that improve speed and accuracy
• Support the senior leadership team with ad-hoc strategic and operational requests with high reliability and speed
• Ensure documentation, approvals, and processes comply with company policies

What You Bring

You've operated in a similar role at a fast-paced SaaS or technology company — business operations, strategy, or a cross-functional operational role where you supported finance and owned the processes that keep a company running. You're analytical and systems-oriented, with experience across financial reporting, operational planning, and core business tools (CRM, HRIS, financial systems, project management platforms). You build clear, data-driven materials — decks, dashboards, models — and communicate complex information concisely to senior leaders and board audiences. You're highly organized, high-ownership, and comfortable operating independently across multiple workstreams with competing deadlines. You work with AI tools as a default, not an experiment.

Bonus Points

Experience at an early-stage technology company (Seed–Series B) in a BizOps, finance support, or cross-functional operational role. Background in management consulting, investment banking, or internal strategy. Experience preparing board and investor materials. Exposure to people operations, including headcount planning and compensation frameworks. Experience designing or implementing automation or AI-driven operational workflows. Proficiency with Asana for program management.

Why Liminal

You'll build the operating system for a company that's scaling. This isn't a mature organization where the playbooks are written. You'll define how Liminal runs — the planning cycles, the reporting frameworks, the processes that turn strategic goals into executed plans. The infrastructure you build will carry the company through its next phase of growth.

You'll work at the center of everything. This role touches Finance, People, Product, GTM, and Engineering. You'll have more context on how the business operates than almost anyone — and the trust and autonomy to act on it.

The stakes are real. You'll prepare the materials that go to the board and investors. You'll own the data that leadership uses to make decisions. The accuracy and clarity of your work directly shapes how the company allocates resources, hires, and grows.
