About the role

Strategic Finance Manager to build and maintain analytical infrastructure linking operations, accounting, strategy, and finance. Focus on budgeting, financial modeling, capital strategy, resource planning, manufacturing scale-up, and support for equity/debt raises and investor materials in a high-growth, capital-intensive hardware/ocean-energy environment in Portland, OR.

Responsibilities

  • Create and maintain durable planning tools that give leadership visibility into cash needs, cost drivers, capital efficiency, and key tradeoffs across build, buy, finance, and deployment decisions.
  • Partner with operations, engineering, manufacturing, accounting, and strategy teams to translate build plans, vendor quotes, headcount plans, and deployment schedules into financial forecasts.
  • Build corporate finance and liquidity models that support resource planning, rolling forecasts, scenario analysis, runway management, and capital allocation decisions.
  • Develop financial models for project development, manufacturing scale-up, structured financing, tax credits, asset-level economics, and capital strategy.
  • Draft presentations and data visualizations that translate complex analysis and technical forecasts into clear, compelling materials for leadership, investors, and lenders.
  • Support capital raise processes and investor relations with clean, decision-ready analysis, including board materials, investor updates, lender materials, and diligence, partnering with internal and external communications teams on content.
  • 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.

Qualifications

  • 3-6 years of experience across strategic finance, FP&A, investment banking, private equity, private credit, or structured finance, including experience in a high-growth or capital-intensive operating environment.
  • 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.
  • Excellent communication skills — you write clearly, you speak and listen well, and you craft presentations that turn complex analysis into concise recommendations for leadership and investors.
  • 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, with the curiosity to understand the underlying physics, operations, tax rules, financing terms, and commercial constraints well enough to build models that reflect reality.
