At 1Password, we’re building the foundation for a safe, productive digital future. Our mission is to unleash employee productivity without compromising security by ensuring every identity is authentic, every application sign-in is secure, and every device is trusted. We innovated the market-leading enterprise password manager and pioneered Unified Access Management, a new cybersecurity category built for the way people and AI agents work today. As one of the most loved brands in cybersecurity, we take a human-centric approach in everything from product strategy to user experience. Over 180,000 businesses, from Fortune 100 leaders to the world’s most innovative AI companies, trust 1Password to help their teams securely adopt the SaaS and AI tools they need to do their best work.

If you're excited about the opportunity to contribute to the digital safety of millions, to work alongside a team of curious, driven individuals, and to solve hard problems in a fast-paced, dynamic environment, then we want to hear from you. Come join us and help shape a safer, simpler digital future.

The Director of Strategic Finance will report directly to the VP, Strategic Finance and is responsible for owning 1Password's consolidated financial plan, forecast and reporting cadence, serving as the primary finance partner to the Engineering, Product & Design and G&A organizations, and setting the company's spend strategy for cloud hosting and AI as we build toward public-company readiness. The Director sets the function's strategic direction, oversees operations, drives successful delivery, and develops a high-performing team to achieve impactful results.

How we’re using AI today

On the Finance team, we’re using AI to drive productivity, scale insight, and deliver better decision-making across 1Password. AI helps us move faster and sharpen our thinking, from summarizing context and pressure-testing assumptions to turning complex inputs into clear executive-level narratives. We bring AI into our work thoughtfully, improving repeatable workflows while staying accountable for the accuracy, confidentiality, and controls behind every output, creating space to focus on judgement, strategic partnership, and meaningful business outcomes.

This is a remote opportunity within Canada and the US.

What we're looking for:

- Experience: 8+ years of experience in finance with at least 3 years in a leadership role, preferably within the SaaS or cybersecurity industry.

- Education: Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics or a related field, or equivalent practical experience. MBA, CPA or CFA preferred, not required.

- Proven track record of achieving improved forecast accuracy and planning-cycle speed at scale, ownership of a consolidated three-statement forecast in a high-growth environment, and measurable cost or gross margin outcomes delivered in partnership with a technical organization.

- Strong business acumen with expertise in corporate FP&A for high-growth SaaS, spanning three-statement forecasting, unit economics and gross margin analysis, R&D investment planning, and cloud cost structures.

- IPO or public-company experience: Direct involvement in an IPO process or operating inside a recently public company, including S-1 support, guidance setting, or the quarterly external reporting cycle.

- Excellent analytical and strategic thinking skills, with a demonstrated ability to develop and execute plans that drive measurable results.

- Solid experience in operational excellence, including process improvements, system optimization, and performance metric management.

- Proven ability to collaborate effectively cross-functionally with peer leaders and teams.

- Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the proven ability to influence peers and upward using expertise and data insights, simplifying complex topics, and incorporating feedback into decisions.

- Experience in leading strategic department initiatives in fast-paced, complex, and dynamic environments.

- Proven success in building and developing high-performing teams.
