About the role

  • We're a team of hands-on builders, engineers, and innovators reinventing how the world makes physical things.
  • Your Impact: Formlabs is scaling rapidly across new products, channels, and global markets, and the decisions in front of us - where to invest, how to price, which verticals to enter - will define our trajectory for years to come.
  • As Director of Strategic Finance, you will be the analytical engine behind our most important strategic bets.

Responsibilities

  • Own the development and maintenance of Formlabs' long-range financial plan, integrating assumptions across product lines, geographies, and channels into a unified corporate model.
  • Build and deliver board materials and executive-level financial packages, including strategic narratives, scenario analyses, and KPI dashboards that frame Formlabs' performance and trajectory for the Board and senior leadership.
  • Develop financial frameworks and decision tools that enable leadership to evaluate trade-offs: build vs buy, channel mix optimization, and R&D portfolio prioritization.
  • Serve as a strategic thought partner to business unit leaders across Sales, Marketing, Product, and Operations, bringing financial rigor to their planning processes.
  • Drive process improvements in how Formlabs communicates financial performance and strategy to internal and external stakeholders.
  • Demonstrated track record of building board-level materials and presenting to or supporting C-suite and board audiences.
  • You'll lead the cross-functional projects that shape pricing strategy, market entry, and capital allocation, and partner directly with the CFO and executive team on board-level reporting.
  • High agency and ownership mentality - thrives on ambiguous problems and drives them to resolution without heavy direction.
  • Genuine curiosity about 3D printing, advanced manufacturing, and how new technology creates customer value.

Nice to have

  • Prior experience at a hardware or "hard tech" company, with a strong understanding of physical product economics (BOM, COGS, manufacturing scale curves, channel margins).
  • Investment banking (TMT, industrials) or top-tier strategy consulting background, with a successful transition into an operating role.
  • Experience leading cross-functional strategic projects from scoping through recommendation - ideally including pricing strategy, market entry analysis, or GTM investment cases.
  • comfortable with large data sets and proficient in Excel/Sheets, SQL, and BI tools (Looker, Tableau).
  • Exceptional strategic thinker who can zoom out to see the big picture and zoom in to pressure-test the details in the same conversation.
  • Outstanding communicator who can distill complex analyses into crisp, compelling narratives for board and executive audiences.
  • Deeply analytical but commercially minded - understands that the goal is better decisions, not just better models.

Skills

  • Experience supporting or leading capital allocation decisions at a scaling, product-led company.
