Job details

The Role You'll work directly for the SVP of Operations and Finance, who runs go-to-market, operations, and finance for the company. This is not a back-office seat. In a given week you might build the business case for a customer deployment, prep an investor data room, and run the payment cycle — because all of that runs through this office. You'll be trained on the parts you haven't done. The expectation is that you can move between them fast. Why We Are Hiring for This Role: As we scale robot production, purchase order volume across components, tooling, and vendors is growing faster than our finance team can keep up with manually. Payables and accounting operations: assisting with AP end to end in Bill.com, and managing our outside accounting and tax firms through month-end close, tax filings, and R&D credit work. Purchasing: issuing and tracking POs for components, tooling, and services, and keeping open-PO and commitment reporting current so engineering isn't waiting on paperwork. Vendor administration: onboarding, terms, and the paperwork that keeps parts and services flowing. The financial model, annual budget, and budget-vs-actuals reporting. Fundraising: diligence requests, data rooms, and investor and board materials. Audit readiness, cap table and equity administration, and advisor and vendor agreements with outside counsel. Customer deals: business cases and ROI models, pricing and deployment proposals, LOI and term sheet support, and the diligence packages customers ask for along the way. Customer and investor travel: prep, materials, and follow-through for meetings and trips, domestic and international. What Kind of Person We Are Looking For: Bachelor's degree in Finance or Accounting (required). 2–5 years of experience in finance, business operations, consulting, or a startup seat where you touched more than one function. Public accounting works too if you're ready to get out of it. Comfortable with the mechanics: you can build a model, run a payment cycle, and read a contract, or learn any of them fast. Bill.com, QuickBooks, or NetSuite experience is a plus. Strong in Excel or Google Sheets and a clear writer — you'll produce decks, memos, and customer-facing documents, not just spreadsheets. Comfortable in front of customers, partners, investors, and executives, and able to represent this office when the SVP isn't in the room. Detail-oriented enough to run a high-volume payment cycle without dropping anything, while still moving fast on everything else. Trustworthy and discreet with customer, financial, and investor information. Thrives in a fast-paced startup where processes are still being built, priorities shift weekly, and ownership matters more than titles. Curious about hardware and robotics — you want to understand what we build, buy, and sell, and why. Willing to travel occasionally for shows and customer meetings. Benefits We provide market standard benefits (health, vision, dental, 401k, etc.). Join us for the culture and the mission, not for the benefits. Salary The annual compensation is expected to be between $75,000 - $100,000. Exact compensation may vary based on skills, experience, and location.
