As Finance Manager - Mandarin/English Bilingual, reporting to the Head of Finance, you'll own finance for Giga's manufacturing operations, procurement, and go-to-market functions.

• Own overhead allocation and capital expenditures for our physical facilities.
• Analyze cost variances and partner with manufacturing and operations leaders to identify root causes and corrective action.
• Support month-end close processes related to inventory valuation, cost accruals, and COGS reporting, partnering closely with accounting/controllership.
• Partner with the sales/RevOps team on HubSpot data hygiene and reporting so pipeline data flows cleanly into financial forecasts, dashboards, and quota.
• Build and maintain product-line level P&L views, including margin analysis by product, SKU, or program.
• Own FP&A for budgeting and forecasting for the product side of the business.
• Build dashboards providing real-time visibility into COGS, margin, and revenue operations metrics for leadership.
• Support pricing and quote-level margin analysis in partnership with sales and engineering.
• Present cost, margin, and revenue operations analysis at MBRs and QBRs.
• Identify and implement improvements to costing, procurement finance, and revenue reporting processes as the business scales.

Requirements

• Fluency in Mandarin (spoken and written) — preferred, to support engagement with China-based suppliers and manufacturing partners.
• 5+ years of experience in FP&A, cost accounting, product line finance, or a related finance function, with meaningful exposure to a manufacturing, hardware, or infrastructure environment.
• Direct experience with BOM-level costing, standard costing, or product costing in a manufacturing setting.
• Experience partnering with procurement or supply chain teams on material cost forecasting, supplier cost analysis, and working capital forecasting.
• Working knowledge of HubSpot or a comparable CRM platform, and experience turning CRM/pipeline data into financial reporting.
• Experience building dashboards and reporting infrastructure (Excel/Sheets, BI tools, or CRM-native reporting).
• Some exposure to internal controls or cost accounting controls (inventory controls, cost variance controls, audit readiness).
• Strong Excel/Google Sheets modeling skills; ability to build and own complex models independently.
• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field.

Bonus Points

• Experience in energy, data centers, power infrastructure, hyperscaler, or capital equipment manufacturing.
• SQL or BI tool experience (Tableau, Power BI, Looker) for reporting automation.
• Experience with ERP systems (SAP, NetSuite, or similar) for BOM and costing data.
• Experience supporting a company through rapid scaling or a fundraise as an internal finance team member.
