The base pay for this role is $293K - $325K, with additional compensation including generous equity, performance-related bonuses, and a range of benefits.

**Responsibilities:**

- Shape financial strategy for major long-term investments, capital structure decisions, and broader strategic decision-making.

- Build rigorous financial models and scalable frameworks to evaluate strategic initiatives, funding options, tradeoffs, and risk.

- Structure and help execute complex strategic initiatives in partnership with cross-functional teams.

- Translate ambiguous technical and business inputs into clear recommendations and decision-ready materials for executives, the board, and other senior stakeholders.

- Lead high-priority cross-functional workstreams from concept through execution, bringing strong judgment, ownership, and communication in fast-moving situations.

- Help build an AI-native finance organization by applying AI to improve workflows, decision-making, and execution across finance processes.

**Requirements:**

- 12+ years of experience across strategic finance, corporate finance, capital markets, investment banking, infrastructure finance, or related fields.

- A strong understanding of capital structure, financing strategy, debt markets, and large-scale investment evaluation.

- Experience operating in high-growth, high-complexity environments with the ability to navigate ambiguity and move quickly.

- Exceptional financial modeling, strategic thinking, and problem-solving capabilities.

- Strong executive presence with the ability to communicate clearly across investors, executives, and technical stakeholders.

- A high-agency operating style that combines strategic perspective with a willingness to build directly.

- Excitement around using AI as a core operating advantage, with a mindset toward building AI-native workflows rather than traditional finance processes.

**Benefits:**

- Medical, dental, and vision insurance for you and your family, with employer contributions to Health Savings Accounts.

- Pre-tax accounts for Health FSA, Dependent Care FSA, and commuter expenses (parking and transit).

- 401(k) retirement plan with employer match.

- Paid time off: flexible PTO for exempt employees and up to 15 days annually for non-exempt employees.

- 13+ paid company holidays, and multiple paid coordinated company office closures throughout the year for focus and recharge, plus paid sick or safe time.

- Mental health and wellness support.

- Employer-paid basic life and disability coverage.
