Founding FP&A Manager

What you’ll do

We’re looking for our first FP&A Analyst — a foundational hire who will help shape how Giga understands and manages its financial performance. Reporting directly to our CFO and working closely with the executive team, you’ll build the budgets, forecasts, and financial models that guide our biggest decisions. You’ll dig deep into our unit costs across products (transformers, data centers, low voltage, high voltage, etc.), create project-level models for new data center sites, and develop base-case and worst-case scenarios to guide investment decisions. This is a hands-on, high-visibility role where curiosity, analytical rigor, and the ability to translate data into clear insights will be key.

Where you’ll work

This role will be based in our San Francisco or Houston offices. You must be willing to work in the office full-time, outside of our bi-weekly WFH Fridays. Employees will be able to work remotely for up to 4 weeks per year.

• Build and maintain Giga’s corporate budgets and forecasts, ensuring accuracy and alignment with business objectives.
• Develop detailed financial models for new data center sites, including power rate analysis, tariff interpretation, and scenario planning.
• Analyze unit costs across product lines and break them down by type, voltage, and configuration to uncover trends and opportunities.
• Partner with executives and functional leaders to provide financial insights and recommendations that drive strategic decisions.
• Track, visualize, and present financial performance through clear diagrams, trend analyses, and reports.
• Lead bottoms-up budgeting processes for corporate and facility-level planning.
• Build a scalable FP&A function with processes, tools, and dashboards to support future growth.
• Prepare materials and present directly to the CFO and executive leadership team.

Requirements

• 2+ years of FP&A, investment banking, corporate finance, or similar analytical experience.
• Experience in a high-growth company environment.
• Strong financial modeling and forecasting skills.
• Proficiency in Excel and data visualization tools (e.g., Tableau, Power BI, Looker).
• Ability to interpret and analyze complex data sets, identify trends, and provide actionable insights.
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to present to executive stakeholders.
• Highly curious and detail-oriented, with a bias toward digging deeper into the numbers.

Bonus points 

• Experience in manufacturing, energy infrastructure, or data center industries.
• Understanding of power rates, utility tariffs, and energy cost modeling.
• Prior experience as the first FP&A hire or in building a finance function from scratch.
• SQL or other data-querying skills.
