Job description

FP&A Analyst

Hertha Metals is redefining steelmaking. We need an FP&A Analyst to own budgeting, forecasting, and variance analysis as we scale. This role is not a back‑office reporting seat; you will be embedded in the business, digging into why a line item came in $5K under budget one month and over the next, and helping the business adapt based on your findings.

You will also carry significant compliance responsibilities, working closely with the VP of Finance to ensure compliance with government and regulatory requirements, manage contractual obligations, support investor‑facing reporting, and strengthen the financial and operational controls expected of a growing company. This is a hands‑on role for someone who wants to understand how a factory runs, not just how the numbers look on a spreadsheet.

Key Responsibilities

• Own budgeting and variance analysis across the business, collaborating closely with operations, commercial, and engineering.
• Build and maintain forecasts; track actual vs. budgeted spend and flag where the business needs to adapt.
• Support significant compliance work tied to investor reporting requirements.
• Partner with outside accountants on variance analysis.
• Develop and maintain financial models that support business planning, scenario analysis, forecasting, and investor reporting.
• Get into the weeds on industry, process, and factory operations to understand what drives the numbers.

Your Experience

• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field.
• 2–7 years of experience in FP&A, budgeting, forecasting, financial modeling, and variance analysis.
• Experience with financial systems and ERP platforms such as NetSuite, SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, or similar; QuickBooks experience is a plus.
• Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint; experience with Power BI, Tableau, or other data visualization tools is a plus.
• Background in manufacturing, industrial, energy, mining, metals, infrastructure, or a high‑growth startup environment preferred.

Personal Attributes
Energetic and highly motivated; highly organized; able to multitask on many projects; detail oriented; team oriented.

Level of Independence
Must be able to work independently and lead long‑term tasks to completion, with a mix of supervised and minimally supervised projects.

Location
Hertha Metals’ headquarters are just outside Houston, Texas.

Benefits

• Competitive startup compensation package based on expertise, with increases tied to business milestones.
• Stock ownership in a growing company within a trillion‑dollar industry.
• Paid and unpaid parental leave after one year (12 weeks paid, flexible remote options).
• Growth opportunities; a culture that supports career development.
• Time off to prevent burnout in a fast‑paced environment.
• 401(k) plan for employees with at least one year of service.
