Position: Senior FP&A Manager (Assistant to the President)

Reporting directly to the President, the Senior Manager, FP&A — Assistant to the President owns the company’s financial-planning function and serves as a strategic partner in the Office of the President
This is primarily an FP&A leadership role — owning the forecast, the budget, cash-runway, and the board-ready analysis that leadership relies on to allocate capital and steer the business through its transformation into robotics and embodied AI
This is a building role, not a reporting role: you will create the models, cadences, and dashboards from the ground up, with a genuine seat at the strategy table
We are specifically seeking a finance leader who has operated inside a robotics, EV, hardware, or advanced-manufacturing company and understands the economics of building physical products at scale
Financial Planning & Analysis (core):
Own the long-range plan, annual budget, and rolling forecasts across the P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow, along with the budget-vs-actual discipline that keeps the business on plan
Financial Modeling:
Build and maintain driver-based, three-statement models that tightly link operational drivers (units, program milestones, headcount, capex, BOM cost) to financial outputs; run scenario and sensitivity analysis
Cash & Liquidity:
Own cash-flow, liquidity, and runway forecasting to inform capital-allocation and financing decisions in a company that operates raise-to-raise
Business Partnering:
Partner with engineering, program management, operations, and supply chain to translate operational plans into financial plans; own unit economics, product/program-level P&L, cost-structure and margin analysis; lead headcount planning
Office of the President (Assistant to the President):
Serve as an analytical partner and sounding board to the President; lead board decks and preparation for quarterly earnings, IR, and leadership meetings; drive urgent, high-priority special projects end to end and follow up on execution of executive decisions
Finance Systems & AI Transformation:
Drive the company’s AI-powered finance transformation — evaluate, select, and implement modern financial software and AI tooling, and design automated, data-driven workflows that replace manual, one-off spreadsheets with reusable, system-based processes
Accounting & Reporting (supporting):
Partner with Accounting and outsourced providers on the monthly close (reconcile actuals to forecast, explain variances) and support SEC filings (10-K, 10-Q, 8-K), treasury/cash reporting, and technical accounting for complex transactions. This function feeds FP&A; it is not the core of the role
Executive Reporting:
Develop executive- and board-level reporting and turn complex results into a clear “so what” with recommended actions
