Our fully operational 5GW solar module facility in Wilmer, Texas, can manufacture more than 20,000 modules every 24 hours. By the time you finish reading this paragraph, we will have produced two solar panels that will power American homes and fuel domestic AI. We're focused on building advanced American manufacturing and we're passionate about engineering a better future filled with abundant energy.

The Role

T1 Energy is looking to hire a Financial Analyst to join our Finance and Accounting team at our Austin, TX HQ. This role sits at the intersection of finance and accounting, supporting the company's budgeting process, financial performance management, and reporting operations while working closely with both functions to keep our financial picture accurate, accessible, and actionable.

The ideal candidate started their career in accounting and has since grown into financial analysis, bringing the best of both worlds: a solid foundation in financial statements, data integrity, and controls, paired with the forward-looking, analytical mindset. You'll also partner with our Shared Services team—AP, AR, Treasury, and Payroll—on projects and process improvements, and play a key role in advancing how we automate reporting and visualize financial data across the organization.

What You’ll Do

Budgeting & Financial Performance

• Support the development, consolidation, and ongoing management of the annual budget and periodic forecasting updates.

• Partner with functional leaders to monitor performance against budget and deliver clear, actionable insights.

• Analyze key drivers of financial performance across revenue, cost of goods sold, and operating expenses.

• Prepare reporting packages and presentations for leadership.

Reporting & Analytics

• Develop and maintain standardized financial reports and dashboards that give the business a reliable view of performance.

• Automate recurring reporting processes to improve efficiency and reduce manual effort.

• Perform variance analysis and translate financial results into concise, meaningful narratives.

• Ensure alignment between financial reporting and underlying accounting data.

Systems & Data Visualization

• Build and enhance dashboards using BI tools such as Power BI, Tableau, or similar platforms.

• Identify and implement opportunities to automate manual reporting and workflows.

• Partner with Finance, Accounting, and IT to improve data structure, accessibility, and integrity.

Cross-Functional & Shared Services Support

• Support AP, AR, Treasury, and Payroll teams with ad hoc analysis and process improvement initiatives.

• Assist in evaluating working capital, cash flow drivers, and operational performance.

• Contribute to strengthening processes, controls, and reporting across Shared Services.

Ad Hoc Projects

• Support special projects across Finance and Accounting, including system implementations and process improvements.

• Provide analytical support for leadership initiatives and evolving business needs as the company scales.

Who You Are

• A finance and accounting hybrid: you understand the close process as well as you understand a budget model, and you know how to connect the two.

• Analytical and detail-oriented, with a track record of turning complex financial data into clear insights.

• Comfortable building dashboards, automating reports, and improving the way financial information flows through an organization.

• A strong cross-functional partner who communicates financial concepts clearly to non-finance audiences.

• Self-motivated and adaptable in a fast-growing company where priorities evolve and no two weeks look the same.

Qualifications

• 2–5+ years of experience in Accounting, FP&A, or a combination of both.

• Strong preference for candidates who began their career in accounting, public or industry, and transitioned into financial analysis.

• Solid understanding of financial statements, close processes, and accounting principles.

• Experience supporting budgeting and financial performance analysis.

• Advanced Excel skills and experience working with large datasets.

• Hands-on experience with BI and data visualization tools such as Power BI or Tableau.

• Experience with ERP systems (Oracle, SAP, or similar) preferred.

• Proven ability to automate reporting processes and drive workflow improvements.

• Strong attention to detail with the ability to connect accounting data to broader financial insights.

• Effective communication skills and the ability to partner cross-functionally with ease.
