The Company:

Faraday Future (FF) is a California-based mobility company, leveraging the latest technologies and world’s best talent to realize exciting new possibilities in mobility. We’re producing user-centric, technology-first vehicles to establish new paradigms in human-vehicle interaction. We’re not just seeking to change how our cars work – we’re seeking to change the way we drive. At FF, we’re creating something new, something connected, and something with a true global impact.

Your Role: 

This role joins FP&A at a pivotal moment — governance framework rollout in progress, next-generation EPM platform implementation kicking off, and AI-augmented finance workflow initiatives on the near-term roadmap. A rare Manager-level opportunity to shape and modernize FP&A at a Nasdaq-listed multi-segment company from the ground up.

Lead the corporate FP&A function; own the annual budget, rolling forecast, and monthly financial reporting across the entire company (all business segments and functional departments). Serve as a key business partner to functional and business-unit leaders, drive accountability, improve forecast quality, and deliver timely financial insights. Build and grow the FP&A team as the function scales.

Key Responsibilities

• Own and lead the end-to-end Annual Operating Plan (AOP) and rolling forecast process across the entire company (all business segments and functional departments), ensuring milestones are met on schedule.
• Deliver monthly financial analysis and variance commentary within 7 business days after accounting close, providing clear insights on spending drivers, risks, and opportunities.
• Prepare and present management-level reporting packages including executive dashboards, KPI summaries, and MBR materials to senior leadership and Board-level audiences.
• Build and manage the FP&A team — recruit, coach, and develop junior analysts as the function grows; establish training curriculum and performance standards.
• Identify and drive continuous improvement of FP&A processes, models, and reporting systems — including EPM platform rollout, automation, and standardization initiatives.
• Partner with the Acting Director, FP&A on strategic initiatives, board materials, capital-raise support, and ad hoc financial analysis.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Accounting, HR, Legal, IT, and China-based finance counterparts on consolidated reporting, budget alignment, and cross-border coordination as needed.

Basic Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, or a related field — or equivalent experience.
• 5–10 years of experience in FP&A or corporate finance, with at least 2 years in a lead or manager capacity — or equivalent project / functional leadership experience.
• Proven experience owning a full planning cycle — budget, forecast, and close reporting.
• Strong financial modeling, analytical, and problem-solving skills.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to present to senior leadership clearly and confidently.
• Advanced Excel skills and strong proficiency in MS Office suite.
• Demonstrated ability to manage competing priorities, lead through ambiguity, and drive results.
• Comfortable operating in a build-and-improve environment vs. a mature/steady-state finance organization — hands-on approach to designing and implementing new processes.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Public or PE-backed company experience with familiarity of reporting cadence and financial controls.
• MBA, CPA, or CMA a plus.
• Familiarity with ERP systems (SAP preferred) and modern EPM platforms (Adaptive Planning, Datarails, Vena, Pigment, or similar).
• BI tools (Power BI, Tableau) and financial dashboard development.
• Experience with or strong interest in AI/LLM-augmented FP&A workflows — agent-based variance commentary, natural-language P&L Q&A, forecast automation.
• Automotive, robotics, or technology-driven industry background.
• Business proficiency in Mandarin Chinese is a plus given regular cross-border collaboration with China-based team members and stakeholders.
