Since pioneering our first [mobile, solar-powered units](https://www.lvt.com/story), 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](https://www.lvt.com/careers) 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. ***LVT IS PROUD TO BE AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER.*** *All applicants will be considered for employment without attention to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, veteran or disability status.
