Job Description
Role Overview

We are seeking a Director of FP&A to build and lead financial planning, budgeting, forecasting, and analysis for a fast-growing, capital-intensive battery materials business. This role will partner closely with the CFO, executive team, and functional leaders to translate technical and operational plans into financial models that guide capital allocation, fundraising, and strategic decision-making.

What You Will Do

Own the preparation of company's annual financial plan, rolling forecasts, and long-range financial model, integrating R&D spend, and commercial-scale manufacturing ramp assumptions. Build and maintain detailed unit economics models (cost per kWh/kg/ton of material produced) that track sensitivity to key inputs such as precursor and raw material costs, yield rates, energy costs, and throughput.

Why It Might Be a Fit

This is a highly cross-functional, builder role suited to someone comfortable operating with the ambiguity of a pre-commercial or early-commercial-stage company while bringing the rigor needed to satisfy investors, lenders, and board-level scrutiny.

Requirements

  • 8+ years of progressive FP&A or corporate finance experience
  • Experience in a capital-intensive industry (manufacturing, materials, industrials, energy, or similar)
  • Proven experience building financial models from scratch in a high-growth or startup environment
  • Strong grasp of unit economics, cost modeling, and capital budgeting for physical/manufacturing assets
  • Experience supporting fundraising processes (equity and/or debt) and preparing investor/board materials
  • Advanced Excel/financial modeling skills

Benefits

  • Dental benefits
  • Vision benefits
  • Healthcare benefits
  • 401(k) benefits
  • Stock incentives
