Desirable

• As CHAOS continues to transition from R&D into rate production, we are splitting corporate planning into two peer finance verticals: FP&A and Program Finance, both reporting to the VP of Finance
• The Head of FP&A will lead the corporate planning lane, the long-range model, scenario planning, the company-wide forecast process, and the board and investor materials
• This is a seat for someone who owns the last mile and delivers the model, the story, and the “so what” in board-ready form
• You will lead the existing FP&A team, own our Datarails reporting platform, and partner with the Head of Program Finance, whose program cost forecasts feed your consolidated company plan
• Own the corporate long-range financial model and scenario planning including revenue, opex, headcount, cash, and funding scenarios, as the company scales into production
• Produce board, investor, and executive ready output end to end: analysis, synthesis, narrative, and talking points
• Run the company-wide forecast and annual planning process and calendar
• Build and scale the department finance-partnering model as the company grows, organizing coverage into functional portfolios with named finance partners
• Own the Datarails reporting platform strategy, architecture, dimensions, data feeds, and self-serve reporting
• Consolidate the company plan, integrating program-level cost forecasts and rate assumptions from Program Finance
• Partner with the Growth team and Program Finance on pricing and deal modeling including deal-level economics, pricing scenarios, and margin analysis
• Support capital strategy and fundraising: scenario models, sources and uses, and investor-facing financial materials
• Manage, develop, and grow the FP&A team as the function scales
• Travel: minimal; occasional travel to other CHAOS offices
