Job description

Here at Humanoid, we believe in a future where robots amplify human potential. That’s why we’ve set out on a mission to build the world’s most capable, commercially‑scalable, and safe humanoid robots. We’re bringing that mission to life with HMND‑01 Alpha – our rapidly developed humanoid platform now running in real industrial pilots – and we’re growing the team to take it even further.

About The Role

As FP&A Lead, you’ll report to the CFO and be responsible for developing, maintaining, and improving our financial planning processes, tools, and outputs. You will drive the company‑wide planning rhythm, support decision‑making with high‑quality forecasts and analysis, and act as a thought partner to functional leads.

This role requires a strong analytical mind, a pragmatic approach to tooling and automation, and the ability to translate complex data into actionable business insight. You’ll also play a key role in helping the company scale its financial maturity—ensuring we operate with clarity, discipline, and flexibility as we grow.

What You’ll Do

• Planning & Forecasting
• Lead the company’s annual budget and quarterly reforecasting processes
• Develop and maintain multi‑scenario financial models that support strategic and operational decision‑making
• Partner with business functions to build accurate, data‑driven plans across headcount, OPEX, CAPEX, and project spend
• Provide visibility on burn, run rate, variance to plan, and budget utilisation across the company
• Performance Management & Reporting
• Deliver regular financial reporting and commentary for the leadership team and board
• Monitor financial KPIs across functions and flag emerging risks or opportunities
• Work closely with the Head of Finance to track and report company performance against long‑range plans
• Develop dashboards and tools to improve transparency and accountability across teams
• Business Partnership
• Act as a trusted finance partner to engineering, operations, and go‑to‑market leads
• Support project planning, resource allocation, and vendor negotiations with relevant financial inputs
• Drive proactive conversations around spend optimisation, trade‑offs, and investment returns
• Support commercial teams with pricing, margin, and cost modelling
• Tooling, Process & Systems
• Design and implement scalable planning workflows, templates, and financial systems
• Help evaluate and deploy FP&A tools
• Drive automation and integration across finance and operational data sources
• Establish documentation and governance around planning inputs, assumptions, and outputs

We’re Looking For

• 6+ years of experience in FP&A, finance business partnering, or strategic finance roles
• Strong modelling and analytical skills, with the ability to build clean, scalable, and insightful models
• Experience in hardware, manufacturing, robotics, or capital‑intensive businesses is a plus
• Excellent communication skills – you can distil complexity and frame trade‑offs clearly for senior stakeholders
• Self‑starter with a builder’s mindset – comfortable designing processes from scratch in a fast‑paced environment
• Deep understanding of cost structures, capital planning, and cash flow modelling

Bonus Points

• Prior experience supporting engineering, manufacturing, or supply chain organisations
• Familiarity with finance systems and data tooling (e.g. NetSuite, Looker, Tableau, Power BI)
• Experience preparing board‑level reporting or working in investor‑backed companies
• Exposure to unit economics, pricing models, and product lifecycle financials

What We Offer

• Competitive salary plus participation in our Stock Option Plan
• Paid vacation with adjustments based on your location to comply with local labor laws
• Travel opportunities to our Vancouver and Boston offices
• Office perks: free breakfasts, lunches, snacks, and regular team events
• Freedom to influence the product and own key initiatives
• Collaboration with top‑tier engineers, researchers, and product experts in AI and robotics
• Startup culture prioritising speed, transparency, and minimal bureaucracy
