About the role

Our focus is on capturing civilizational levels of ultra-low-cost renewable energy for applications including computing and affordable renewable fuels delivered to shore.
The company is a public benefit corporation headquartered in Portland, Oregon and backed by leading venture capitalists, philanthropic investors, university endowments, and private investment offices.
We operate as an idea meritocracy in which the best ideas change the company's direction on a regular basis.

Build and maintain corporate finance, FP&A, and liquidity models that support budgeting, forecasting, scenario planning, runway analysis, and capital allocation decisions.
Develop financial models for project development, manufacturing scale-up, structured financing, tax credits, asset-level economics, and capital strategy.
Partner with operations, engineering, manufacturing, procurement, accounting, and strategy teams to translate build plans, vendor quotes, BOMs, headcount plans, facilities assumptions, and deployment schedules into financial forecasts.
Create durable planning tools that give leadership visibility into cash needs, cost drivers, capital efficiency, and key tradeoffs across build, buy, finance, and deployment decisions.
Support budgets, rolling forecasts, variance analysis, board materials, investor updates, lender materials, and capital raise processes with clean, decision-ready analysis.
Identify the highest-leverage gaps in Panthalassa's financial operating system and build practical mechanisms to close them.
You want to understand the underlying physics, operations, tax rules, financing terms, and commercial constraints well enough to build models that reflect reality.

3-6 years of experience in investment banking, structured finance, private equity, private credit, strategic finance, corporate finance, or FP&A in a high-growth, capital-intensive company.
Strong understanding of corporate finance, capital structure, working capital, liquidity, and structured capital solutions.
Clear written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to turn complex analysis into concise recommendations for leadership, investors, lenders, and the board.
You are analytical, curious, and comfortable with ambiguity.
You are not satisfied with formatting outputs or following inherited templates.
You can sit with leadership, explain what changed, and separate the signal from the noise.

Investment banking analyst or associate experience, especially in infrastructure, power, industrials, technology, or structured finance.
Experience in manufacturing, hardware, clean technology, power, data centers, maritime, aerospace, defense, or other capital-intensive industries.
Familiarity with ERP, procurement, accounting, PLM, MRP, MES, or other operating systems that feed financial planning tools.
Strong facility with AI-enabled workflows, automation, data cleanup, and lightweight internal tools that improve speed and accuracy.
The above qualifications are desired, not required.
We encourage you to apply if you are a strong candidate with only some of the desired skills and experience listed.
Additional Requirements
You should be comfortable working across office, lab, shop, supplier, and future manufacturing environments, including occasional longer hours during board, financing, planning, or time-sensitive operational cycles.

As FP&A Manager, you will help build and maintain the analytical infrastructure that connects operations, accounting, strategy, and finance.
Your work will support planning, budgeting, project development, manufacturing scale-up, capital strategy, and the financial decisions that shape how we grow.
