The earth beneath our feet holds extraordinary, untapped capacity to accelerate the clean energy transition.

About the Role
Bedrock is in our second year of commercialization and scaling our financial and operational foundations to support growth; accordingly, this FP&A Lead who will mature our financial planning, project-based accounting, and capital strategy across multiple capital types. This role will be central in building disciplined financial systems, equipping leadership with actionable insights, and ensuring our financial model supports both judicious company operations and product-driven technoeconomic analysis.

You will take on some of the Controller role, orienting Bedrock’s financials for strategic communication suitable for a future Series B fundraise. While you will oversee our outsourced accounting firm, you should be prepared to roll up your sleeves to handle budget modeling and improve the structure of our accounting.
