About the Role

As Senior Director of FP&A at Fluidstack, you will be a cornerstone of our Finance leadership team, owning the financial planning, analysis, and decision-support infrastructure that powers one of the fastest-moving companies in AI. You will lead the full FP&A function - from annual planning and budgeting to long-range financial modeling, scenario analysis, and board-level reporting - all while building processes from the ground up. This is a high-impact, high-ownership role for someone who thrives in ambiguity, moves with urgency, and understands that great FP&A is as much about influencing decisions as it is about accuracy.

You will partner deeply with Engineering, Operations, Sales, and Finance to translate business strategy into financial clarity, and you will be instrumental in preparing Fluidstack for the next phase of its growth.

• Partner with executive leadership team to develop and pressure-test strategic financial scenarios, capital allocation decisions, and growth investments.
• Drive board and investor reporting - translating complex operational data into clear, compelling financial narratives.
• Embed FP&A as a true business partner across Engineering, Operations, Sales, and Finance - owning the P&L bridge and variance analysis end-to-end.
• Lead IPO readiness efforts from an FP&A perspective, including development of public-company-grade financial reporting processes and controls.
• Own the build-out of FP&A systems and tooling, including integration with ERP platforms (NetSuite) and data infrastructure.
• Develop KPI frameworks and financial performance dashboards that give leadership real-time visibility into business health.

Preferred Qualifications
