Job description

About the Role

Join the lean finance & business operations team as we build it out. The team is currently supporting potential M&A transactions; capital markets transactions across equity, debt, and tax credit sales; financial and operational reporting across the business; supply / demand planning; budgeting; pricing and other financial decisions; and partnering with operators across the business. We’ve had a lot of success with generalists who know the business deeply and bring a high IQ + EQ to push the business forward across multiple of these initiatives.

What You’ll Do

• Own workstreams across M&A, debt and equity raises, and tax credit sales — from first diligence through close.
• Embed with operators in deployment, supply chain, energy markets, and growth to surface what's working and what isn't.
• Build the reporting and tools we use to see the business clearly — past performance and forward forecasts.
• Build models and analysis that drive real decisions — pricing, capital allocation, hiring, supply commitments, when to enter a new market.
• Take on whatever the business needs next; the scope of this role will keep changing as we grow.

What You’ll Bring

• 2–5 years in investment banking, private equity, growth equity, consulting, or operating finance at a fast‑moving company.
• Strong financial modeling and analytical chops — you can build from a blank sheet and defend every assumption.
• High judgment on what matters and what doesn't — you rarely need to be told twice.
• Comfort with ambiguity — most of what you'll work on doesn't have a playbook.
• Clear communication with engineers, operators, executives, and investors.
• Hunger to know the business deeply, not just analyze it from a distance.

Please note: Base is a startup, which means priorities shift and evolve quickly. Your role may expand or change based on the needs of the business at any given time, so the responsibilities listed may not be exhaustive.
