Job summary

Code Metal, Inc. is seeking a Director of FP&A to own the company’s forward-looking financial picture across commercial and government businesses.

You will build planning engines, forecast performance, and partner with executives and the board on fundraising and M&A decisions. This hands-on leadership role requires creating models and operating cadences, then scaling the FP&A function by recruiting and guiding the team.

Qualifications

• 8+ years in FP&A, strategic finance, investment banking, or corporate development with ownership of a company‑level plan.
• Experience planning for a government contracting business, including backlog, indirect rates, contract types, and pricing.
• Advanced three‑statement and driver‑based modeling skills.
• Board and investor‑facing experience, with fundraising or M&A support a plus.
• Ability to turn analysis into a clear recommendation for executives, not just a dashboard.
• Comfort building from scratch with imperfect data.

Responsibilities

• Own the annual operating plan, rolling forecasts, and long-range model across commercial and government business lines.
• Build revenue forecasts grounded in commercial bookings and sales capacity, plus GovCon backlog, weighted pipeline, and contract‑type phasing (FFP, T&M, cost‑type).
• Partner with the Controller on indirect rate forecasting and with Contracts/BD on proposal pricing and wrap rates.
• Define and maintain company KPIs, including Revenue/Bookings/Backlog, book‑to‑bill, backlog coverage, margin by product and contract type, and operating leverage.
• Deliver monthly budget‑versus‑actual analysis with clear explanations of what’s driving the variances.
• Build department and program‑level reporting that leaders actually use to manage spend and headcount.
• Own 13-week and long-range cash forecasting, runway planning, and related analyses.
• Drive board and investor materials, including fundraising models, dilution scenarios, and data room support.
• Model investment cases, new products, facilities and compute buildouts, and pricing, and track results against the original case after decisions are made.
• Run scenario planning for key uncertainties such as award timing, hiring pace, and capital needs.
• Build a scalable planning infrastructure connecting key systems and data (e.g. CRM, GL, and HR data), and evaluate planning tools as complexity grows.
• Build and lead the FP&A team over time.
