## Job description

## About Fluidstack

We exist to make humanity more free. For most of human history, you farmed or you starved. Technology gave people more time for the things they wanted to do, instead of things they had to do. Powerful AI will be the biggest lever for human choice we've ever built - but only if models are aligned with what humanity actually wants. There are groups building AI who don't share these goals. Whoever deploys frontier compute infrastructure fastest will decide whether AI expands human freedom or shrinks it.

We're singularly focused on delivering 10 to 100s of GWs of compute faster than anyone else, rethinking every layer of the stack. We acquire power, design and build data centers, and operate them - with teams spanning hardware and software. Speed and scale are our key differentiators. Come be a part of building civilization-scale infrastructure for AI.

We hire people who care deeply about this problem space. If that is you, please apply!

## How We Operate

- Be a barrel. Full autonomy. Own things end to end, take on scope without being asked, no permission required to operate outside your core role.
- Insane urgency. We drive everything forward as fast as possible.
- Reason from first principles. Challenge every assumption. Zero analogy thinking, no egos, the best idea wins.
- Love of the game. The frontier of AI is the most interesting problem of our time. We put in long hours at high intensity to push the frontier forward.
- Build something that actually matters. If you're going to spend your time, spend it on something that matters to the world.

## About the Role

As Senior Manager of FP&A at Fluidstack, you will be a cornerstone of our Finance leadership team, owning the financial planning, analysis, and decision-support infrastructure that powers one of the fastest-moving companies in AI. You will lead the full FP&A function — from annual planning and budgeting to long-range financial modeling, scenario analysis, and board-level reporting — all while building processes from the ground up. This is a high-impact, high-ownership role for someone who thrives in ambiguity, moves with urgency, and understands that great FP&A is as much about influencing decisions as it is about accuracy.

You will partner deeply with Engineering, Operations, Sales, and Finance to translate business strategy into financial clarity, and you will be instrumental in preparing Fluidstack for the next phase of its growth.

## What You’ll Do

- Own Fluidstack’s annual operating plan, quarterly forecasting cycles, and long-range financial model across all business units and geographies.
- Build and lead a world-class FP&A team, establishing the infrastructure, cadence, and culture of financial rigor the business needs to scale.
- Partner with executive leadership team to develop and pressure-test strategic financial scenarios, capital allocation decisions, and growth investments.
- Drive board and investor reporting — translating complex operational data into clear, compelling financial narratives.
- Embed FP&A as a true business partner across Engineering, Operations, Sales, and Finance — owning the P&L bridge and variance analysis end-to-end.
- Lead IPO readiness efforts from an FP&A perspective, including development of public-company-grade financial reporting processes and controls.
- Own the build-out of FP&A systems and tooling, including integration with ERP platforms (NetSuite) and data infrastructure.
- Develop KPI frameworks and financial performance dashboards that give leadership real-time visibility into business health.

## Basic Qualifications

- 10+ years of progressive FP&A experience, including prior experience in a senior leadership role.
- Proven track record building and leading FP&A functions at high-growth technology, infrastructure, or pre-IPO companies.
- Deep expertise in financial modeling, budgeting, forecasting, and long-range planning in complex, multi-entity environments.
- Experience partnering directly with C-suite and board-level stakeholders on financial strategy and reporting.
- Strong command of ERP systems; NetSuite proficiency required.
- Demonstrated ability to hire, develop, and lead high-performing finance teams.
- Exceptional communication skills — you can distill complex financial data into clear insights for both technical and non-technical audiences.
- Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field; CPA or CFA preferred.

## Preferred Qualifications

- Experience at a data center, infrastructure, AI/ML, or capital-intensive technology company.
- Prior exposure to IPO readiness, S-1 preparation, or public company financial reporting standards.
- Familiarity with multi-currency and multi-jurisdictional financial environments.
- Experience implementing or scaling FP&A tooling and systems in partnership with engineering or data teams.
- Big 4 or investment banking background as a complement to industry experience.

Salary & Benefits

- Competitive total compensation package (salary + equity).
- Retirement or pension plan, in line with local norms.
- Health, dental, and vision insurance.
- Generous PTO policy, in line with local norms.

Total compensation may also include equity in the form of restricted stock units. We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
