Reporting directly to the President, the Senior Manager, FP&A — Assistant to the President owns the company’s financial-planning function and serves as a strategic partner in the Office of the President. This is primarily an FP&A leadership role — owning the forecast, the budget, cash-runway, and the board-ready analysis that leadership relies on to allocate capital and steer the business through its transformation into robotics and embodied AI. This is a building role, not a reporting role: you will create the models, cadences, and dashboards from the ground up, with a genuine seat at the strategy table. We are specifically seeking a finance leader who has operated inside a robotics, EV, hardware, or advanced-manufacturing company and understands the economics of building physical products at scale.

• →Financial Planning & Analysis (core): Own the long-range plan, annual budget, and rolling forecasts across the P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow, along with the budget-vs-actual discipline that keeps the business on plan.
• →Financial Modeling: Build and maintain driver-based, three-statement models that tightly link operational drivers (units, program milestones, headcount, capex, BOM cost) to financial outputs; run scenario and sensitivity analysis.
• →Cash & Liquidity: Own cash-flow, liquidity, and runway forecasting to inform capital-allocation and financing decisions in a company that operates raise-to-raise.
• →Business Partnering: Partner with engineering, program management, operations, and supply chain to translate operational plans into financial plans; own unit economics, product/program-level P&L, cost-structure and margin analysis; lead headcount planning.
• →Office of the President (Assistant to the President): Serve as an analytical partner and sounding board to the President; lead board decks and preparation for quarterly earnings, IR, and leadership meetings; drive urgent, high-priority special projects end to end and follow up on execution of executive decisions.
• →Finance Systems & AI Transformation: Drive the company’s AI-powered finance transformation — evaluate, select, and implement modern financial software and AI tooling, and design automated, data-driven workflows that replace manual, one-off spreadsheets with reusable, system-based processes.
• →Accounting & Reporting (supporting): Partner with Accounting and outsourced providers on the monthly close (reconcile actuals to forecast, explain variances) and support SEC filings (10-K, 10-Q, 8-K), treasury/cash reporting, and technical accounting for complex transactions. This function feeds FP&A; it is not the core of the role.
• →Executive Reporting: Develop executive- and board-level reporting and turn complex results into a clear “so what” with recommended actions.

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related discipline required.
• Industry Background (required): 6+ years in Corporate FP&A / Strategic Finance at a high-tech, advanced-manufacturing company that builds physical products at scale — ideally robotics / embodied AI, ranging out to EV / automotive, semiconductor, aerospace/defense, consumer electronics, or other capital-intensive hardware companies. A pure software / services (SaaS) FP&A background is not a fit on its own.
• Experience: 6+ years of progressive finance experience with a strong FP&A core, including experience at a publicly listed (SEC-reporting) company and its board / earnings cadence.
• Technical Skills: Expert three-statement and driver-based financial modeling; familiarity with modern financial software systems — cloud ERP / GL (NetSuite, Sage Intacct, Oracle Fusion, SAP, or Microsoft Dynamics 365), FP&A / planning platforms (Anaplan, Workday Adaptive Planning, Datarails, Vena, or Cube), close / reconciliation automation (FloQast or BlackLine), and SEC / disclosure tools (Workiva or DFIN ActiveDisclosure).
• AI-Forward (priority): Demonstrated ability to drive AI-enabled finance transformation — hands-on experience selecting and implementing AI-powered finance software and building automated, AI-assisted workflows for planning, forecasting, close, or reporting. You don’t just use finance tools; you help build and modernize the finance tech stack.
• Language: Professional working proficiency in both English and Mandarin Chinese (written and spoken) is required. This position is the communication bridge between the Company’s U.S. SEC / GAAP financial reporting and its Mandarin-speaking senior leadership, and requires preparing, presenting, and explaining financial and regulatory information accurately in both languages on a regular basis.
• Communication: Exceptional executive communication and presentation skills; strong ownership and work ethic; discretion with confidential information.

• Capital markets & liquidity: Fluency with equity financing (e.g., committed equity / ELOC, convertibles), cash-runway management, and going-concern / Nasdaq-compliance awareness at a transformation-stage company.
• Background: Investment banking, strategy consulting, or Big 4 experience is a strong plus; MBA / CPA / CFA a plus.
• AI finance tools: Experience with AI-forward finance tools (AI FP&A copilots, AP/close automation, or spend-management platforms such as Ramp/Brex).
• Other: Exposure to digital assets, crypto treasury, or high-growth / transformation-stage companies.
