Financial Planning & Analysis Manager

As Panthalassa moves from pilot systems toward repeatable production, large-scale facilities, and commercial deployments, we need financial systems, models, and decision tools that can keep pace with unlocking planetary-scale energy. 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. This is a hands-on corporate finance role for someone who can build rigorous models from first principles, pressure-test assumptions, and turn complex analysis into clear recommendations. • 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. • Work closely with accounting to reconcile forecasts to actuals, improve data quality, and keep financial models grounded in reliable operating and accounting information. • Identify the highest-leverage gaps in Panthalassa’s financial operating system and build practical mechanisms to close them.

You are analytical, curious, and comfortable with ambiguity. You can build a model from a blank sheet, explain the logic behind it, and defend the conclusions under senior-level scrutiny. You are not satisfied with formatting outputs or following inherited templates. You want to understand the underlying physics, operations, tax rules, financing terms, and commercial constraints well enough to build models that reflect reality. You communicate clearly with both finance and non-finance teams. You can sit with an operations lead, understand what is changing on the floor, and translate it into a forecast. You can sit with leadership, explain what changed, and separate the signal from the noise. You bring rigor without creating unnecessary process. • 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. • Advanced Excel modeling skills, including three-statement modeling, cash forecasting, scenario analysis, debt schedules, capitalization structures, and returns analysis. • Experience building models used for real decisions, not just reporting packages. • 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. • High ownership, strong attention to detail, and comfort working under tight deadlines with incomplete information. • Deep interest in hardware, manufacturing, energy, compute infrastructure, or other physical-world businesses. • Investment banking analyst or associate experience, especially in infrastructure, power, industrials, technology, or structured finance. • Experience with renewable energy tax credits, tax equity, transferability, asset-backed structures, private credit, or infrastructure financings. • 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. • This role requires regular on-site presence in Portland, Oregon, where our office, lab, and shop are located. • 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. 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.

If hired for this full-time role, you will receive: • Cash compensation of $150,000 - $210,000 • Equity in the company. We’re all owners and if we’re successful, this equity should be far and away the most valuable component of your compensation. • A benefits package that helps you take care of yourself and your family, including: • Relocation assistance to facilitate your move to Portland (if needed).
