Do you want to help make the world safe from cyber attack?

At Corelight, we believe that the best approach to cybersecurity risk starts with the network. Attackers can evade endpoint detection, firewalls and many other technologies - but they can’t avoid leaving digital footprints on the networks they traverse. Built on open-source innovations from Zeek, Suricata and YARA and refined through years of real-world use, Corelight transforms network footprints from physical, virtual and cloud networks into actionable insights. Our customers use these insights to speed incident response and proactively hunt for threats.

We are seeking a detail-oriented and proactive Accounting Analyst / Procurement Specialist to support our Accounting and Procurement teams. This hybrid role is responsible for managing day-to-day accounting activities such as expense management and accounts payable while supporting procurement processes and ensuring operational efficiency across purchasing, vendor management, contract lifecycle management, and financial reporting.

This position also functions as an entry-level procurement analyst, supporting purchasing and sourcing efforts through administrative, analytical, and process-driven tasks that help Corelight acquire software, goods, and services efficiently and cost-effectively. The ideal candidate is analytical, organized, and comfortable collaborating across teams to maintain accuracy, compliance, and operational excellence. This is an excellent starting point for a career in procurement and operational finance. You will gain hands-on experience in vendor management/negotiation, contract review, cost analysis, sourcing, security and legal workflows, and process improvement—while contributing meaningfully to the company’s financial accuracy and operational efficiency.
