Strategic Finance Manager
Share this job
Why Join Giga
- The Pace: We're building at a speed most companies talk about but never actually operate at. If you've been bored somewhere else, you won't be here.
- The Impact: Every person at Giga touches the work that matters. No layers, no waiting for approval chains. You'll see your fingerprints on what we ship.
- The Team: A team of operators defining the future of AI infrastructure. We recruit A-players from the most innovative companies in the world, and they choose Giga because the work here means more.
- The Moment: AI doesn't run without power, and that's us. Giga is the picks and shovels behind the AI revolution. This industry is about to explode, and you'll be in the room where it's already happening.
What You'll Do
At Giga, finance is a strategic weapon, not a back-office function. As a Strategic Finance Manager, you'll build and own complex models, drive capital allocation decisions, and bring a point of view — not just a spreadsheet — to every conversation. You'll partner directly with senior leaders, translate messy data into clean narratives, and present the "so what" to the executive team. This role is for a finance professional who moves quickly without losing precision and wants a direct line between their work and company outcomes.
Where You'll Work
We are an in-office culture — velocity matters when you're building physical infrastructure, and the best decisions happen in the room. This role is ideally based in our San Francisco, Long Beach, or Houston offices, with full-time onsite expectations outside of bi-weekly WFH Fridays.
That said, we will make exceptions for truly exceptional talent if you live outside one of our hubs. If you're the right person for this role, we'll have a conversation about what works.
Responsibilities
- Own short and long-range financial models, annual operating plans, rolling forecasts, and project-oriented financial models that reflect real business dynamics; built from scratch, structured for auditability, and designed to flex with the business
- Partner with business leaders to build bottoms-up budgets, track performance, and surface variances with clear recommended actions
- Lead scenario and sensitivity analysis to support major capital allocation and investment decisions; stress-testing assumptions, bounding outcomes, and giving leadership a clear view of risk and upside
- Translate financial data into concise, executive-ready presentations that drive alignment
- Build KPI frameworks that give leadership real-time visibility into revenue, cost, operational efficiency and business levers
- Support fundraising, board reporting, and investor materials with accurate, well-structured financial narratives
- Collaborate cross-functionally with Executive Leadership, Accounting, Operations and Legal to keep plans grounded in operational reality
Model Building - What We Actually Mean
This isn't a role for someone who edits inherited templates or fills in highlighted cells. We need someone who builds independently, from a blank spreadsheet, under deadline. Fast, clean, right the first time, assumption-driven, and explainable to anyone in the room; a CFO, CEO, Board member, investor, banker, or a first-year analyst.
- Construct fully integrated three-statement models (P&L, balance sheet, cash flows) that link dynamically and hold up under interrogation
- Build institutional-quality DCF and project finance models with explicit, defensible assumptions; IRR, NPV, payback, and sensitivity tables included as a matter of course
- Develop project finance and CapEx models that capture draw schedules, depreciation waterfalls, debt service, and returns at both project and company levels
- Design scenario and sensitivity frameworks that move beyond simple toggles and uses multi-variable sensitivity tables, Monte Carlo-ready structures, and decision trees that actually inform and steer capital allocation
- Build integrated operating models that connect unit economics and operational drivers directly to the financials, so when something changes in the business, the model reflects it immediately
Requirements
- 5+ years of experience in strategic finance, FP&A, investment banking, private equity, or management consulting, with a track record of building and owning complex models, not just maintaining them
- Expert-level financial modeling
- Proven ability to synthesize complex data into clear recommendations for executive audiences
- Experience owning budgeting and forecasting cycles end-to-end
- Experience in project finance and CapEx modeling
- Experience with SQL or data visualization tools (Tableau, Looker, or equivalent)
- Strong command of Excel or Google Sheets; experience with a financial planning tool (Anaplan, Adaptive Planning, or equivalent)
- Ability to manage multiple workstreams simultaneously without sacrificing accuracy
Bonus Points
- Experience in infrastructure, energy, or capital-intensive industries
- Experience supporting fundraising rounds or Board-level reporting
Benefits
- Subsidized health, dental, and vision insurance
- Significant equity in a profitable, IPO-bound company
- 401(k) with 4% employer match
- Unlimited PTO
- Parental leave
- FSA/HSA options
- Commuter benefits
- Monthly team on-sites across all offices
Who We Hire
We don't use "A-player" loosely. Here's what it actually means at Giga:
Antifragile. You don't just survive chaos, you get better because of it. When things break, change, or move sideways, you don't freeze. You adapt faster than the problem evolves.
High Agency. You don't wait to be told what to do. You see the gap, you fill it. If something is blocking progress, you find a way around it, over it, or through it without asking for permission.
Executors. Ideas are cheap. We hire people who ship. You're the person who turns a whiteboard sketch into something real while everyone else is still scheduling the next meeting about it.
Bias to Action. Perfect is the enemy of done. You'd rather make a decision with 80% of the information and course correct than sit around waiting for 100% that never comes.
Speed. We move fast because the opportunity demands it. You're not reckless, but you understand that in this industry, the team that moves fastest wins. And you like winning.
