Responsibilities
  • Budgeting, forecasting, and reporting - You will work closely with company leaders across Engineering and G&A functions to develop financial budgets, forecasts, and key performance indicators. You will apply business judgment and financial insights to assist with decision-making that aligns resource allocation with the company’s objectives. After developing financial budgets & forecasts, you will monitor and analyze monthly operating results versus expectations and identify risks and opportunities. You will roll up variances at the company level and provide regular financial updates to our C-Suite and Board of Directors.
  • Financial and operational modeling - You will help improve existing financial models and roll up various models into our total company 3-statement model (P&L, BS, CFS). You will use these models to help the company gain critical insights and drive better investment decisions.
  • Financial analysis - You will drive projects in areas spanning from ROI-based resource allocation, operational excellence, efficiency, and process improvement workstreams, and you will prepare business cases for implementing these capital efficiency initiatives. Our Strategic Finance team is very lean, and you will be expected to wear a number of hats along the way and get up-to-speed quickly!
  • Financial processes - Help us scale from a Series D startup to a more mature company. This entails gathering requirements and implementing tools and processes, both around our ERP and in other areas, to drive a culture of ownership and accountability.
  • Corporate development - In addition to the core FP&A and business partnering objectives above, you will be pulled into projects such as fundraising, corporate development, and partnership analysis as needed. This is a broad role that will wear a lot of hats and collaborate with many stakeholders across Nuro.
