VP/SVP Finance

About Lumos

Lumos builds an Autonomous Identity Platform that helps companies control who can access what, and whether they should. The product helps prevent security issues caused by excessive permissions, reduces friction from overly restricted access, and connects applications, identities, and data. Customers include GitHub, MongoDB, Mars, Pinterest, Anduril, Intercom, Roku, and Netskope. At the core of the platform is Albus, an AI agent for identity that can analyze roles, approve access, and identify access drift that people may overlook.

This role will contribute to work used every day by large IT and security teams, in a space that is still being defined. The company is preparing for a Series C fundraising round and is hiring a VP/SVP of Finance to report directly to the CEO.
