Job description

Space assets and services are not fully monetized. At Revolv Space, we are solving the problem of low duty cycles by developing and manufacturing the next generation of critical subsystems enabling continuous spacecraft operations and therefore full monetization of space assets.

We start with tackling the power limitations of small satellites by providing best-in-class products for small satellites: Solar Array Drive Assemblies, solar arrays and deployment mechanisms.

Location: Turin, Italy

Working language: English

Starting date: November-December 2026

Responsibilities:

• Lead our finance transformation: set up and customize the new ERP system, internalize accounting processes, and industrialize administrative workflows as we scale into serial production

• Set up, run and own a job-order cost accounting (contabilità per commessa) for every customer contract: budget, actuals, estimate-to-complete, and margin at completion, reviewed monthly with project managers

• Evaluate investment opportunities by analyzing project ROI and capital allocation

• Own revenue recognition and work-in-progress on long‑term contracts, including milestone billing and grant‑funded work

• Maintain and defend the company's cost structure: hourly rates, overhead, standard vs actual product cost and BOM variance as they move into serial production

• Run the monthly close and produce the management reporting package (P&L by commessa, cash flow, burn, budget vs actuals) for leadership and shareholders

• Manage treasury, cash forecasting, sources and uses of funds (fonti e impieghi), and banking relationships (including debt management)

• Manage cost reporting and financial claims for public funding and government grants.

• Enforce the purchasing and approval process (PO thresholds, supplier commitments, inventory controls) together with procurement and the project managers.

• Coordinate statutory accounting, tax and audit with the tax consultant, the auditor and the labour consultant, and act as their single point of contact.

Requirements:

• 7+ years in financial control in a manufacturing or engineering‑to‑order company (aerospace, defence, automotive or industrial machinery), with direct hands‑on experience of job costing and WIP valuation

• Solid command of Italian statutory accounting and tax (bilancio civilistico, OIC, IRES/IRAP, IVA) and working knowledge of IFRS

• Experience with an ERP job‑cost module and time tracking, plus strong Excel modelling; you know which numbers belong in which tool

• Track record of building processes from scratch in a small team: you have been the finance function, not a member of it

• Able to explain margins, cash and variances to engineers and leadership in plain language, and to push back when the numbers disagree with the plan

• Fluent Italian and English.

What we offer:

• Compensation package between EUR 55.000-70.000, according to both real experience and proficiency in the role

• goal‑oriented environment with flexible working hours;

• possibility of occasional remote work;

• international team driven by passion and commitment;

• company activities and retreats;

• meal vouchers (Buoni pasto);

• hands‑on experience with the design, manufacturing, and testing of space‑grade systems;

• direct impact on a NewSpace startup in the heart of Europe’s high‑tech hub

• possibility of participation in the early‑employee equity scheme

2. 60 min interview with Marco (CEO), your future closest teammate and Gaia (HR)
3. 45 min technical screening, including external advisors;
