We are looking for a Director of Finance to join our finance organization and help us scale the rigor, systems, and financial judgment of the company as it grows.

This is a senior, hands-on role for someone who combines deep technical accounting judgment with genuine fluency in how venture-backed companies operate — someone equally comfortable defending a revenue recognition position under US GAAP and explaining why a customer's NRR trend matters to valuation.

This is a player-coach position. You will personally own specific hands-on areas of our finance operation in NetSuite while also acting as a strategic partner to the CFO and a technical resource across the finance function. You will work closely with the Corporate Controller and other finance leadership, and will be expected to take on materially greater scope as the function matures.

Position location: Tel Aviv or Haifa site,Hybrid working model

Requirements:

• CPA (or equivalent professional accounting credential)
• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
• Prior experience at a Big 4 (or equivalent top-tier) audit firm, with direct experience preparing and supporting technical accounting positions through partner review
• 5–10 years of progressive finance/accounting experience, including exposure to a venture-backed startup environment.
• Proven managerial experience.
• Hands-on experience with NetSuite, particularly around billing, revenue recognition, and order-to-cash processes.
• Practical experience with multi-entity accounting, including translating transfer pricing arrangements into intercompany journal entries and reconciliations within an ERP
• Genuine day-to-day fluency with AI tools in finance workflows (e.g., agentic assistants like Claude Cowork, Office/Excel AI add-ins, or equivalent)
• Familiarity with payroll processes and requirements across multiple jurisdictions, including both the US and foreign sites
• Genuine fluency in startup and venture mechanics: preferred vs. common equity, cap tables, unit economics, and key SaaS/startup KPIs such as NRR, and how these connect to valuation and competitive positioning.
• Sharp, self-driven, and comfortable operating with ambiguity and incomplete process
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills; able to translate technical accounting conclusions for non-finance stakeholders.
  
  

Nice to Have:

• MBA.
• Prior experience in a company that scaled from an earlier stage through significant growth in headcount, entities, or geographic footprint.
• Exposure to fundraising processes, board reporting, or investor due diligence.
  
  

Responsibilities:

• Manage and develop our existing accounting team (currently two bookkeepers and one payroll controller), setting the standard for accuracy, process, and technical judgment as the team grows.
• Partner with the CFO on financial process design, identifying where manual, spreadsheet-driven workarounds should be replaced with scalable, systemized processes in NetSuite.
• Support fundraising, audit, and investor-facing workstreams, including data room preparation, as needed.
• Actively use AI and modern tooling to accelerate technical accounting research, close processes, and reporting — rather than defaulting to manual work.
• Serve as a financially fluent business partner: understand and speak knowledgeably about unit economics, preferred equity structures, NRR and other key SaaS/startup metrics, valuation drivers, and competitive moat — and connect those concepts to our numbers.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Sales, Legal, and Operations on deal structuring and its accounting implications.
• Own multi-entity and intercompany accounting, including translating transfer pricing policy into intercompany journal entries and reconciliations across proteanTecs' legal entities in NetSuite.
• Independently research and draft technical accounting memos (e.g., ASC 606 revenue recognition) that connect our specific contract structures and business model to US GAAP — not just apply a pre-built template.
• Set up and maintain sales orders in NetSuite with correct product configuration and revenue recognition schedules for complex, multi-element arrangements.
• Run the monthly revenue arrangement process and related accrual entries, ensuring they are accurate, timely, and defensible.
