About the role
- Build and maintain detailed cost models, three-statement financial projections, and proforma budgets to guide our scaling and manufacturing plant construction.
- Support the executive team in securing a diverse capital stack, including venture capital, equipment financing, project financing, debt, and government grants.
- Manage day-ahead electricity and natural gas purchasing and contracts; develop and execute hedging strategies to manage price volatility.
