About the Role
The Director of FP&A owns financial planning, forecasting and analysis across Gravitics. You will be the CFO's strategic partner and the finance lead for engineering, manufacturing and program leadership. You will translate technical and operational plans into financial decisions: where to invest, what a program really costs, and how much runway each milestone buys us.
You will build and mature the FP&A function as the company grows, including the team, the models and the operating cadence.

Program and manufacturing finance

Executive and investor reporting
- Deliver monthly and quarterly performance reporting, variance analysis and KPI dashboards to the CFO, executive team and Board
- Support fundraising, investor updates and financial due diligence, working with the CFO on the financial narrative and data room

- Ability to communicate complex financial insight clearly to executives, engineers and investors
Preferred
