Full Job Description
THE ROLE

As our Financial Analyst, you will serve as a core engine for Reframe's FP&A, operational finance, and strategic planning. You won't just be tracking numbers-you will help define the unit economics of our modular microfactories, track Bill of Materials (BOM) cost reductions, and build financial visibility as we scale from 1 10.

This is a high-visibility, high-impact role for a data-driven finance professional who thrives in a fast-paced hardware/manufacturing startup environment.
WHAT YOU'LL OWN

1. FP&A & Corporate Financial Modeling
  • Financial Planning & Budgeting: Own and maintain the company's 3-statement financial model, rolling forecasts, and annual budgeting process.
  • Variance Analysis: Track monthly and quarterly actuals vs. budget (BvA), analyzing key drivers behind revenue, operating expenses, and capex.
  • Executive & Board Reporting: Prepare financial packages, dashboards, and strategic decks for leadership and board meetings.

2. Factory Ops & Unit Economics
  • Cost Accounting & BOM Analysis: Partner with Supply Chain and Manufacturing Engineering to model Bill of Materials (BOM) costs, direct labor rates, and factory overhead absorption.
  • Microfactory Unit Economics: Help analyze and refine the business model for individual microfactories (payback periods, throughput capacity, asset utilization, and gross margin optimization).
  • Capital Allocation: Build ROI models for factory equipment purchases, robotics automation investments, and facility expansion (e.g., FAB1).

3. Cross-Functional Strategic Partnership
  • Departmental Support: Work closely with leaders in Engineering, Software, Factory Operations, and Talent to align headcount planning and operational spend with overall cash runway.
  • Systems & Processes: Help define, select, and implement finance and accounting tooling (ERP integration, spend management, and automated financial reporting).
QULAIFICATIONS
  • Experience: 5-8 years of experience in FP&A, corporate finance, investment banking, management consulting, or startup financial operations.
  • Industry Context: Direct experience or strong familiarity with hardware, manufacturing, robotics, automotive/aerospace, or construction/real estate development finance.
  • Modeling Mastery: Advanced Excel/Google Sheets skills with a proven track record of building dynamic, scalable 3-statement models from scratch.
  • Cost & Operational Acumen: Ability to translate physical operations (BOMs, inventory turns, labor hours, factory throughput) into clear financial metrics and unit economics.
  • Technical & Systems Aptitude: Hands-on experience with modern ERP systems, modern BI/reporting tools, and spend management platforms.
  • Startup Mindset: Scrappy, self-directed, and comfortable operating with ambiguity in a fast-moving physical tech environment.
  • Bachelor's degree in Finance, Economics, Accounting, or a quantitative field.
  • Experience supporting a hardware or manufacturing company through rapid multi-site scaling.
  • Background working with inventory management, ERP implementation, or supply chain cost-down initiatives.
