Role
Who you are

- Exceptional financial modeling skills—able to build and maintain complex, integrated three-statement models and executive-facing reports from scratch
- Demonstrated ability to communicate financial insights clearly to non-finance audiences, including executives and business unit leaders
- Experience owning an end-to-end planning cycle (AOP, re-forecast, LRP) in an environment with meaningful operational complexity
- Comfort navigating ambiguity and building process in a fast-moving, resource-constrained environment
What the job involves
- The Senior Manager, Financial Planning & Analysis is a high-visibility corporate finance role responsible for leading Redwood’s enterprise-wide planning, forecasting, and strategic financial analysis
- This role partners directly with business unit leaders and the executive team to translate operational activity into financial insight, drive the annual operating plan and re-forecast cycles, and deliver decision-ready reporting to senior leadership and the board
- The position is responsible for building and maintaining the consolidated corporate financial model and for developing the FP&A infrastructure needed to support a fast-growing, multi-site manufacturing company
- Planning & Forecasting
- Own Redwood’s annual operating plan (AOP) process, coordinating inputs across business units, manufacturing operations, and G&A functions to produce a unified, board-ready financial plan
- Lead quarterly and monthly re-forecast cycles, maintaining rolling views of revenue, cost, headcount, and capex against plan
- Build and maintain the consolidated corporate model, including P&L, balance sheet, cash flow, and key operating metrics
- Develop and improve long-range financial plans in support of fundraising, board reporting, and strategic planning processes
- Business Partnership & Analysis
- Serve as the primary finance business partner to 2–3 business units or functional leaders, translating operational activity into financial insight and actionable recommendations
- Design and deliver monthly business reviews with clear variance analysis, bridging actuals to plan and forecast with crisp narratives for executive audiences
- Build financial frameworks to evaluate strategic initiatives, investment decisions, headcount plans, and resource allocation trade-offs
- Partner with Accounting to ensure a clean close process and accurate management reporting; help define what “good” looks like as reporting infrastructure matures
- Reporting & Infrastructure
- Own and continuously improve the management reporting package distributed to senior leadership and the board, ensuring it is accurate, insightful, and decision-ready
- Identify opportunities to automate and scale FP&A processes; drive adoption of planning tools and best practices across the Finance team
- Develop KPI frameworks that connect financial outcomes to operational drivers, helping the business manage to leading indicators rather than lagging results
- Support ad hoc financial analyses and special projects as directed by the CFO and VP Finance
Our take
Redwood Materials, the brainchild of former Tesla co-founder and CTO JB Straubel, is making waves in the sustainable energy sector with its strategic approach to battery recycling and domestic supply chains for lithium-ion batteries.
The company is dedicated to creating a fully closed-loop supply chain by manufacturing critical battery components using as many recycled batteries as possible, effectively localising a 50,000-mile global battery supply chain on a single site. This strategy aims to address the critical issue of material sourcing, particularly the reliance on China for battery materials.
Redwood Materials closed a Series E funding round in 2025 at a post-money valuation exceeding $6B. This financial backing positions the company to continue expanding its capacity, further strengthening the US's domestic battery supply chain. Its ambitious goal of enabling customers to purchase battery materials made in the US is aligned directly with the broader political objective of onshoring critical industries, as emphasised in the USA's 2022 Inflation Reduction Act.
