## Job description

## About Base

Base is America’s next-generation power company. We’re rebuilding the foundation of modern civilization–electricity–by deploying a vast network of distributed batteries that is transforming today’s fragile, centralized grid into a resilient and abundant system. We are engineers, operators, and creatives solving some of the most complex, interdisciplinary challenges of our time.

## About the Role

Corporate Finance is the factory that turns raw inputs from across the business into Base's consolidated financial plan — the operating dashboard the leadership team and board run the company on. Sitting inside Finance & Business Operations alongside business-facing finance partners, you own the corporate model end-to-end: the templates the rest of finance works in, the consolidation that stitches their inputs together, the G&A forecasts you build directly, and the simple plan that comes out the other side. The bar is forecast accuracy at meaningful scale, and the speed at which the finance team absorbs new information and produces a new answer. The company is making meaningful decisions on what comes out of your work, so it has to be right.

## What You’ll Do

- Own Base's corporate model end-to-end — the integrated 3-statement build, the structured financing rolled into a cohesive whole, and the consolidated outlook the company is steered by
- Run forecast consolidation as a factory line — design the templates the rest of finance works in, flow-chart the inputs and dependencies, and compress the cycle time from new information to refreshed plan
- Own G&A forecasting directly — partner with the G&A function leads on headcount, vendor spend, and capital allocation, and make their numbers in the corporate model match the reality of their org
- Run the AOP process — annual plan, quarterly refresh, monthly operating cadence, and the rituals and reviews that go with them
- Own the weekly 13-week cash forecast, monthly BvA, and the investor pack — partner with Head of Finance, capital markets, and the CEO on positioning, disclosures, and the narrative around the numbers
- Treat forecast accuracy as the scoreboard — instrument forecast vs. actual at the driver level, run the post-mortems, and tighten the model until the plan and reality converge
- Build the AI-native layer of the factory — agentic tooling embedded in consolidation, variance analysis, and reporting so the team produces a weekly forecast in under an hour, not a week
- Co-design and operate the controls layer with the Head of Finance & team — preventive gates, detective monitoring, corrective actions, and policy across capital allocation, headcount, vendor contracts, and treasury, so the company can move fast without crashing

## What You’ll Bring

- 5-10 years across investment banking, private equity, corporate FP&A, or strategic finance — and a track record of being judged on forecast accuracy
- Built and owned an integrated 3-statement corporate model in production
- Run a real AOP, LRP, and monthly operating cadence at meaningful scale — comfortable producing both the precise numbers and the narrative around them
- Strong opinions on FP&A as a discipline — driver trees, scorecards, BvA, controls, consolidation architecture — and a track record of building these systems, not just running someone else's
- Thinks like a process engineer — flow chart a forecasting or close process, identified the bottleneck, and made it measurably faster; energized by treating the model as a factory to optimize
- Investor-grade communication — has stood up board materials, fundraising decks, or investor updates with a CEO/CFO and survived the scrutiny
- Advanced Excel and integrated modeling fluency, SQL fluency or willingness to get there fast, and comfort across BI (Omni, Looker), ERP (NetSuite), and modern data tooling

## About The Team

The Base Finance & Business Operations team is responsible for providing clear visibility on past and future performance across the business, financing our growth, capital allocation decisions, and supporting the broader Base team on key performance drivers. To succeed, Base must raise and deploy tens of billions of dollars, maintain sustainable unit economics, exercise extreme operating leverage, and balance supply/demand and growth/profitability in a complex and high-pace environment. The Finance team enables these by (i) building toward omniscience with sharp analytics and tools for observability, (ii) integrating with the business to support operational decisions, (iii) establishing tight controls and processes to cull complexity, and (iv) presenting Base to investors effectively.

Please note: Base is a startup, which means priorities shift and evolve quickly. Your role may expand or change based on the needs of the business at any given time, so the responsibilities listed may not be exhaustive.

## Our Values

- First Principles Thinking: Question assumptions. Principles > rules.
- Operate at Base Pace: Focus on what matters, act quickly, and learn by doing.
- Give & Get Feedback: Be direct, be humble, and maintain a growth mindset.
- Everyone’s an Owner: Follow through on commitments and own results.
- Strong Opinions, Loosely Held: Drive clarity and make calls with imperfect information.
- Committed to the Mission: Rebuilding the grid is a big challenge. We work hard because we care deeply about the impact we’re creating. We work in-person. It’s not a 9-to-5. We are all-in.
- Fun & Optimism Coexist with Grit: Collaboration and celebration coincide with the intensity of building real things.

Do the best work of your life at Base.

## About Base Power Company

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Base Power is a technology-driven energy provider deploying a network of distributed home batteries in Texas to provide reliable, affordable backup power and grid-balancing services.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Series C, $1.3B+ raised to date)
- **Headquarters**: Austin, Texas, United States
- **Founded**: 2023
- **Founders**: Zach Dell (CEO & Co-Founder), Justin Lopas (COO & Co-Founder)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry/industries**: Energy Technology (Energy-as-a-Service, Grid Storage, Distributed Energy)
- **Target customers**: B2C (Texas homeowners), B2G (grid operators / ERCOT)
- **Mission or purpose statement**: "Build the future of American power." — The company aims to protect American families from outages, strengthen the aging U.S. grid, and move toward energy abundance by deploying a large-scale network of home batteries.

## Products & Services
- **Home Battery + Energy Membership**: A vertically integrated service where Base installs a large battery (25–50 kWh) at a customer's home for a low one-time fee ($695–$995). Customers pay a fixed energy rate (8–4¢/kWh) and a small monthly membership ($19–$29/mo). Base earns revenue from the grid (grid-balancing services), not from customer bills, enabling rates legally guaranteed to stay below market average. The system provides whole-home backup, protecting against 97% of outages.
- **Grid Services Platform**: Proprietary software that orchestrates the distributed battery network — charging when demand is low and discharging when the grid needs support — generating revenue and grid resilience.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed (Private company with $1.3B+ total funding)
- **Key Metric (Funding)**:
  - **Series A** (May 2024): $68M led by Thrive Capital
  - **Series B** (April 2025): $200M led by Lightspeed Venture Partners, Andreessen Horowitz, and others
  - **Series C** (November 2025): $1.0B from 26 investors
  - **Total raised**: ~$1.27B (converted from 1,268,000,000)
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Thrive Capital, Lightspeed Venture Partners, Andreessen Horowitz (also key talent source: 42 former Tesla employees, 6 from SpaceX, 4 from Anduril Industries)
- **Growth Signals**:
  - **Headcount**: 266 (as of mid-2026), with **+186.4% YoY growth** and a rapid monthly growth rate of +12.6%
  - Named one of **TIME's 10 most influential energy companies of 2026**
  - Operating in 5 countries (primarily US, with presence in Canada, Philippines, France, India)
  - 100+ active job postings with +104% increase YoY
  - 12,500+ batteries installed; serving thousands of monthly customers
  - CEO cited in the careers page as saying the company has 400+ team members ("400+" likely includes contractors and field installation/service workforce)

## Competitive Advantages
- **Vertically Integrated Model**: Base designs, manufactures, and installs every battery system itself, controlling the full stack from hardware through software to field operations.
- **Unique Business Model / No-Customer-Profit**: Base earns revenue from grid balancing, not from customer energy bills. This allows guaranteed-below-market rates and a low-cost battery membership, making it dramatically cheaper than competitors (e.g., Tesla Powerwall equivalents).
- **Strong Investor and Talent Backing**: World-class VC backing combined with a heavy talent influx from Tesla, SpaceX, and Anduril (companies known for high-velocity hardware/software execution).
- **Massive Capital Advantage**: $1B+ Series C provides a significant moat for scaling hardware production, dealer network, and software.

## Strategic Focus
- **Scale distribution in Texas**: Continue deploying home batteries at a rapid pace across Texas, entering new zip codes and neighborhoods.
- **Grid partnership expansion**: Deepen relationships with ERCOT to expand the value of grid-balancing services.
- **Product development**: Improve battery technology (safety, capacity, cost), increase whole-home backup coverage (currently 97%), and develop new hardware/firmware generations.
- **Geographic expansion**: potential to move beyond Texas into other states (currently operating in 5 countries for support functions, but service is Texas-focused).

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: Described as "intense, fast-paced, and deeply mission-driven." The company demands high output, ownership, and a bias toward action. It's explicitly stated as "not for everyone, and that's by design." This is a high-ownership, low-ambiguity environment.
- **Work Model**: **On-site at Base HQ in Austin, Texas.** Proximity to the product and team is central to how they move fast. "Do I need to be based in Texas? Yes."
- **Hiring Speed**: Fast process — aim for 1st conversation to offer in ~2 weeks.
- **Interview Process**: 3-4 hour on-site including technical assessments and behavioral/team conversations. Focus on "how [you] approach problems, communicate tradeoffs, and collaborate."
- **Non-traditional backgrounds**: Explicitly welcome: "We care about what you've built and how you think, not the logos on your resume. Some of our best people came from non-traditional paths."
- **Engineering Culture**: Heavy focus on hardware + software + field operations. Talent sources heavily from Tesla, Anduril, SpaceX — firms known for hardcore engineering and manufacturing excellence. Roles span hardware engineering, firmware, software, manufacturing, field installation/service, operations, growth, and design.
- **Team Composition**: ~29% of employees are in technical roles; ~15% in operations; significant representation of trades workers (11).
- **Notable Perks**: Opportunity to work on physical infrastructure deployed at scale; chance to contribute meaningfully to grid modernization and American energy resilience.
