Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
The FP&A Manager will serve as a financial architect for complex capital projects, focusing on high-CapEx strategy and hardware-heavy financial planning. They will own the corporate financial model, manage project-level expenditures, and establish scalable forecasting and reporting processes.
Candidates should have 4+ years of experience in corporate finance or investment banking, with specific expertise in CapEx-intensive planning and hardware-heavy industries. A bachelor's degree in a quantitative field and proficiency in financial modeling and ERP/BI software are required.
Build and maintain detailed financial models tracking high-value capital assets, long-lead procurement, engineering test beds, and facility construction/build-outs.
Partner with Supply Chain and Engineering to evaluate major equipment purchases, make-vs-buy decisions, vendor contracts, and hardware milestones against budget constraints.
Establish project-level financial tracking systems to monitor variance (budget vs. actuals) across complex engineering workstreams in real time.
Build and standardize core FP&A processes, including annual budgeting, monthly/quarterly forecasting, variance reporting, and long-range capital planning.
Select, implement, and maintain scalable FP&A software and financial integration tools to automate data aggregation across ERP, procurement, and accounting systems.
Draft and enforce capital authorization limits, CapEx request procedures, and policy guidelines.
Own and refine the core 3-statement corporate financial model to support corporate strategy, runway modeling, and fund-raising/investor relations discussions.
Translate complex financial data into concise dashboard metrics, Board materials, and operational insights for C-suite decision-making.
Serve as the primary finance partner for Engineering, Operations, and Procurement teams, guiding technical leaders on budget management and cost optimization.
4+ years of progressive experience in Corporate FP&A, Corporate Development, Investment Banking, or Strategic Finance, with at least 2+ years leading CapEx-intensive financial planning.
Experience in hardware-heavy industries (e.g., aerospace, automotive, energy storage, semiconductor, oil & gas, or advanced manufacturing).
Advanced 3-statement financial modeling skills with demonstrated expertise building project finance models, capital investment frameworks, and scenario/sensitivity analyses.
Proven track record of creating financial processes, CapEx control frameworks, and reporting workflows from the ground up in a growing organization.
Proficient with modern ERPs (e.g., NetSuite, SAP), FP&A software (e.g., Pigment, Anaplan, Adaptive Insights), and BI tools (e.g., Tableau, PowerBI).
Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Engineering, or a related quantitative field.
Adaptability: Thrives in dynamic, high-ambition environments where processes need to be designed rather than just maintained.
Technical Curiosity: Comfort collaborating closely with hardware and software engineers to understand complex technical milestones and translate them into financial realities.
Clear Communicator: Ability to distill complex capital data into clear operational guidance for technical partners.
Breakthrough fusion technology designed for operation and scale.
Thea Energy is building an economical and scalable fusion energy system utilizing arrays of mass-manufacturable magnets and dynamic software controls. Commercial fusion energy can uniquely provide a limitless source of power for the future of humanity. Thea Energy spun out of Princeton University and Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory in 2022 to commercialize the stellarator, a mature magnetic confinement fusion architecture. The Company was selected as an inaugural awardee of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Milestone-Based Fusion Development Program following a detailed merit review process. Thea Energy is also supported via six Department of Energy INFUSE awards and an ARPA-E SCALEUP award. Thea Energy is currently collaborating with leading national labs, academic institutions, and industrial partners to commercialize fusion energy on the fastest and most efficient path.
