GTM Finance Business Partner
Aim Security
Welcome to the future of cloud networking and security!
Cato Networks is the first company to converge enterprise networking and security into one centralized and global service that is delivered by cloud. It is led by networking and security pioneer Shlomo Kramer (Check Point, Imperva) and early investor (Palo Alto Networks, Exabeam, Trusteer and more). Cato’s unique technology inspired a brand-new product category, later named “SASE” by Gartner and a market expected to reach $28.5 billion by 2028.
This is your opportunity to get on the rocket ship and join a company that is building a cutting-edge enterprise network and secure cloud platform, and is on a fast track to becoming the worldwide market leader – don’t miss it!
We are looking for a GTM Finance Business Partner (FBP) to join our FP&A team and serve as a strategic finance leader to our regional GTM executives. Cato’s GTM organization is a primary growth engine of the company. As a GTM Finance Business Partner, you will directly influence how we allocate resources, scale our field operations, and drive efficient growth across regions. You will sit at the intersection of strategy, finance, and execution - helping regional leaders run their business with financial clarity and discipline.
The GTM Finance Business Partner will act as the financial co-pilot to regional GTM leadership (Regional VPs / CMO), supporting full ownership of the region’s budget and financial performance. Regional leaders at Cato operate as the “CEO” of their territory - accountable for growth, efficiency, and strategic execution - and the FBP will be their primary financial partner.
This is not a back-office reporting role. It is a highly visible, strategic, and hands-on finance position that combines planning, performance management, business analytics, and cross-functional leadership. You will work closely with Sales, Customer Success, Sales Engineering, Channel, Field Marketing, and Global GTM leadership, ensuring financial discipline while enabling growth.
