Backed by internationally renowned venture capital firms and named in both the Forbes AI 50 list of “Most Promising Private AI Companies in the World” and the Inc. 5000 list of “Fastest Growing Companies in America”, Luminance is transforming how businesses understand and act on the intelligence contained in their contracts.\nWe are expanding rapidly across global markets and supporting enterprise customers in more than 60 countries, including AMD, National Grid, LG and DHL. We are looking for an FP&A Lead to build the financial planning and insight capability needed to support that growth.\nThe opportunity\nThis is a true build-it role. As Luminance’s first dedicated FP&A hire, you will build the capability from the ground up-determining what good looks like and creating the models, reporting, systems and operating rhythms that connect our strategy, operating plans and financial performance.\nReporting to the VP Finance and working alongside the Financial Controller, you will own Luminance’s forward-looking financial view: budgeting, forecasting, long-range planning, performance analysis and management reporting. We are looking for a hands-on finance operator who sees AI as a core part of the modern finance toolkit-using it to strengthen forecasts, challenge assumptions, automate repetitive work and uncover better insight.\nThis will initially be a senior individual contributor role, offering significant ownership and exposure across the business, with the opportunity to build the wider FP&A team as Luminance scales.\nWhat you’ll do\nOwn financial planning - build and maintain the models underpinning Luminance’s annual budget, rolling forecasts, headcount and cost plans, and longer-term strategic plan.\nLead planning cycles end to end - work with department leaders to create ambitious, credible plans and keep the process rigorous and on track.\nTurn performance into action - analyse actual results against plan, identify the underlying drivers and translate them into clear recommendations.\nCreate a trusted view of the business - define and track the KPIs that matter, building reporting and dashboards that give leadership timely, reliable insight.\nPartner across Luminance - help leaders translate company priorities into financial plans, understand performance and make informed resource decisions.\nSupport important decisions - provide executive- and board-level analysis on financial performance, investment priorities and the company’s key value drivers.\nModel future scenarios - evaluate the financial implications of different growth, hiring, investment, market expansion and fundraising scenarios.\nBuild an FP&A capability that scales - continually improve the processes, systems and AI-enabled workflows that make FP&A faster, more accurate and more valuable.\nRequirements\nSignificant experience in FP&A, corporate finance or financial planning and analysis.\nA track record of building or significantly improving FP&A models, processes and reporting within a scaling business.\nExperience in a high-growth B2B SaaS, enterprise software or technology company, with a strong understanding of SaaS metrics and recurring-revenue economics.\nExcellent financial modelling, forecasting and scenario-analysis skills.\nStrong financial and commercial judgement, with the ability to challenge assumptions and turn complex analysis into clear recommendations.\nCredibility with senior stakeholders and the ability to communicate financial concepts clearly to non-finance audiences.\nA hands-on, high-ownership approach-you are as comfortable building the model as presenting its conclusions.\nPractical experience using modern systems, data, AI and automation to improve the quality and speed of finance work.\nDesirable\nExperience supporting board, investor or fundraising processes.\nA professional accounting qualification or relevant background in investment banking, consulting or investing.\nFamiliarity with business-intelligence tools and financial-planning platforms.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4059,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Document Management","Legal AI"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-16T15:07:03Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":60,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.602,"p_room":1,"age_days":3,"expected_fill_days":32,"reasons":["conf:3","stale_co","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-20T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/luminance-fpa-lead","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/luminance-fpa-lead.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-21T03:50:46Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":5654,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-22T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":48121},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=48121"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fluminance-fpa-lead"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fluminance-fpa-lead"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fluminance-fpa-lead"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/luminance-fpa-lead\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fluminance-fpa-lead"}]}
