Build and maintain detailed cost models, three-statement financial projections, and proforma budgets to guide our scaling and manufacturing plant construction.
Support the executive team in securing a diverse capital stack, including venture capital, equipment financing, project financing, debt, and government grants.
Manage day-ahead electricity and natural gas purchasing and contracts; develop and execute hedging strategies to manage price volatility.
Budget for heavy equipment procurement and manage contractor spending for our manufacturing facilities; manage collateral exposure and plan sufficient capital reserves.
Manage external accountants and tax professionals; oversee government tax credits (e.g., 45V, 45X) and ensure all regulatory financial filings are airtight.
Manage cash flow, liquidity, and banking relationships, including securing letters of credit for facility leases and project guarantees.

5+ years of finance experience working with "heavy" industries such as oil and gas, mining, chemical production, or renewables.
Expert-level financial modeling skills; you should be able to build complex project finance and operational models from scratch without templates.
Proven experience in commodities purchasing, hedging, and managing the associated collateral and risk exposure.
Direct experience with various financing vehicles, specifically project finance and debt instruments used in capital-intensive businesses.
Experience managing the "nuts and bolts" of finance, from acting as a controller to overseeing external audits and tax strategy.
Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Economics, Engineering, or a related quantitative field; MBA or CFA is a plus but not required if you have the "dirt under your fingernails" experience we need.
