About this role
Gridmatic is a high-growth startup and a new kind of energy company, delivering affordable, clean power by optimizing renewable energy and grid-scale batteries. With offices in the Bay Area and Houston, we bring together Silicon Valley–style innovation with deep, hands-on expertise in real-world power markets and energy retail.
As solar and wind become the fastest-growing sources of electricity, variability from weather and grid conditions makes energy prices more volatile. Gridmatic tackles this challenge with industry-leading forecasting and optimization—and gives our team the opportunity to work on problems that truly matter. Forecasting and trading energy are the foundation of what we do. We ingest large-scale data—weather, prices, load, and grid conditions—to build probabilistic machine learning forecasts that drive real operational decisions. Our work directly determines when power is bought, stored, or deployed, turning uncertainty into value for customers and the grid.
Our impact is measurable. Gridmatic is the most profitable participant in ERCOT’s wholesale market and operates the top-performing battery asset in CAISO. Profitable without venture capital, we offer a collaborative, low-ego environment where rigorous thinking, autonomy, and continuous learning are core to how we work.
The FP&A Manager will serve a critical role in all financial, planning & analyses functions and will partner with senior leadership in strategic decision-making process across various profit-making divisions of the company. This role will work closely with various senior leaders to align company’s goals by forecasting and planning of the resource allocation. As Gridmatic operates in active commodity and electricity markets, the FP&A Manager will play a vital role in managing our capital efficiency. You will translate the dynamics of wholesale market participation into clear cashflow narratives, ensuring efficient capital management across weekly, monthly, and annual horizons. In addition to overseeing certain financial operations of the company and reporting on financial performance and monitor cashflow, this candidate will also assist Finance team in maintaining company’s Stock compensation program as part of headcount planning and growth and certain other ad-hoc projects on an on-going basis.
A successful candidate will be a trusted partner to a small team and someone who thrives on transforming data into stories, frameworks, and making strategic recommendations to help build an effective and sustainable finance team.
