Job description

This is not a “keep-the-lights-on” finance role.

We’re partnering with a cutting-edge, venture-backed technology company operating at the intersection of advanced manufacturing, software, and automation. They’re looking for a Head of Finance to build and lead the financial engine that will support rapid global scale.

This role is for a hands-on finance leader who thrives in operationally complex environments and wants real ownership—from day-to-day execution to long-term strategy.

🔥 What You’ll Own

• Full ownership of finance and accounting: FP&A, budgeting, forecasting, month-end close, tax, and compliance
• Design and implement scalable financial systems and processes built for growth
• Build and lead a high-performing finance team as the business scales
• Develop financial models across engineering spend, operating costs, pricing, and capital investments
• Drive cost optimization across capital equipment, materials, labor, and outsourced services
• Partner closely with engineering, operations, and leadership to improve efficiency and unit economics
• Translate data into insights that directly influence product strategy and commercial decisions
• Support fundraising, investor relations, and due diligence
• Manage banking, debt facilities, and external financial relationships
• Act as a trusted financial voice with executives, board members, and investors
• 10+ years of progressive finance experience
• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Business, Engineering, or related field
• Experience in manufacturing, engineering, supply chain, or capital-intensive environments
• Strong command of financial modeling, forecasting, and operational finance
• Comfortable operating in a hands-on, high-accountability leadership role
• Experience working directly with executives and investors
• MBA or Master’s in Finance
• Experience in VC-backed or high-growth tech startups
• Background in investment banking or investor relations
• Deep understanding of inventory, depreciation, capex, R&D spend, and make-vs-buy decisions
• Advanced Excel and data analysis skills
• A true “no job too big or too small” mindset

🌱 Why This Role Stands Out

• Build the finance function from the ground up
• High autonomy and real influence on company direction
• Close partnership with technical and operational leadership
• Opportunity to scale a business with global potential
• Work onsite in a modern South Bay facility with strong leadership visibility
