About Us:
We are building a world-class foundational science team, founded by former Tesla leadership. We’re a well-funded seed-stage sodium-ion battery company focused on truly redefining the future of energy storage and we are very excited about it.
About This Role
We are seeking a highly motivated, action-oriented business generalist to be our first business operations hire as we scale from R&D to pilot scale at breakneck speed. You will work directly with our cofounders to execute cross-functional projects across the organization and do whatever it takes to keep us moving.
What you’ll do. The following responsibilities include, but are not limited to:
· Own the financial model and the company's key metrics: forecasts, actuals, and making sense of it all.
· Track pilot line costs against budget and flag variances early.
· Run PO and vendor administration, spend tracking, and contract hygiene in partnership with Supply Chain.
· Support fundraising: pitch materials, data room, investor updates, board materials, and cap table.
· Support non-dilutive funding: DOE and state grant applications and reporting.
· Keep the day-to-day business running: outside accountants and counsel, insurance, vendor contracts, and whatever else it takes.
What you’ll bring
· Bachelor's degree in a quantitative field, or equivalent experience
· 1–3 years of experience in management consulting, investment banking or similar analytically rigorous field
· Exacting attention to detail. Small errors get expensive.
· AI-native. Use LLMs and agents daily; build with them.
