About this role
About the Role
We are looking for a Finance Manager to be a hands-on financial partner to our engineers and senior leadership. You will own budgeting, forecasting, P&L management, capital planning, and financial analysis while building many of these capabilities from the ground up.
This is not a role where you inherit a finished FP&A machine. Some data will be messy, processes will be manual, and the right model or dashboard may not exist yet. You will need to figure out what the business needs, build it, and continuously improve it as the company grows.
You should be equally comfortable building a model yourself, challenging an investment decision, and creating a lightweight process where none existed before.
What You'll Do
- Serve as the finance lead and strategic partner to engineers and senior leaders.
- Build and own the company's core budgeting, forecasting, and financial planning processes as the organization scales.
- Own financial models for P&L, headcount, operating expenses, capital investments, and long-range planning.
- Develop the KPIs, dashboards, and reporting leadership needs to understand business performance and make decisions.
- Lead capital planning and help evaluate major investments across facilities, equipment, infrastructure, and other company priorities.
- Turn incomplete or messy financial and operational data into useful analysis, identifying what matters rather than waiting for perfect information.
- Build business cases and help leadership make trade-offs across hiring, capital, operating spend, and strategic investments.
- Partner across engineering, operations, supply chain, facilities, and program management to understand cost drivers and improve financial performance.
- Build and improve finance systems, tools, and processes with an emphasis on automation, accuracy, and keeping the organization lightweight.
- Produce clear financial analysis and recommendations for executive leadership.
