Senior Manager, Financial Planning & Analysis

We are looking for a Senior Manager of FP&A to become the dedicated owner of Rondo Energy's financial planning engine at a pivotal moment of growth. Fresh off going live with its first ERP (NetSuite), Rondo is now building out its EPM platform and needs a hands-on finance leader to manage disciplined cash forecasting, drive the long-term corporate model, and deliver the near/mid-term cash forecast and reporting that inform leadership and the board. This is a high-impact role for someone who thrives on building scalable systems from the ground up while partnering closely with the CFO, Board, and cross-functional teams across a fast-growing, capital-intensive business.

What You Will Do (key responsibilities for this role include but are not limited to):

• Model & forecasting — Own the consolidated financial model across the four planning layers — headcount, OpEx, revenue, and financing. Inherit the simplified in-house model and migrate it into Vena. Build and maintain driver-based scenario planning.
• Cash & runway — Own the cash forecasting mechanics; produce the runway view to roughly one-to-two-week precision; partner directly with the CFO for capital-timing decisions
• Planning cycles — Assist Controllership in running the annual budget, monthly reforecasting and scenario analysis, departmental cost management, and board-cycle refreshes
• Reporting — Produce board packs, ELT summaries, and weekly cash reporting, with a focus on repeatability and automation
• Systems / EPM — Complete the EPM buildout alongside an excellent cross-functional team of stakeholders—Corporate Controls, Project Controls, People, Commercial, and Department Budget Owners, among others. Partner closely with Corporate Controllership on NetSuite-sourced actuals; own the FP&A tool stack
• Business partnering — Continuously refine and streamline consolidated FP&A processes across Controllership (actuals), Commercial (revenue & pipeline), People (headcount & comp), and the CFO (capital) 

What You Will Bring:

• Experience owning a company-level, driver-based financial model end-to-end
• Elite Excel modeling; fluency at the nexus where GAAP/IFRS accounting meets forward-looking FP&A (translating GL/ERP actuals into forecast)
• Experience with EPM implementation or ownership (Vena, Anaplan, Pigment, or Planful)
• Capital-intensive / hardware / deep-tech / project-based-revenue context; comfort in a pre-scale, cash-disciplined environment
• The ability to communicate confidently and directly with a Board- and ELT members
• The ability to manage highly complex, nuanced needs while driving simplicity, durability, and repeatability in process construction and ownership
• Experience in a high-growth, climate, energy, or industrials company, ideally with VC or similar early/mid-stage capital backing
• A proven track record of flexibility and adaptability with fast changing environments
• Curiosity-forward, intellectually-humble, and bias-toward-action-oriented approach to complex problem solving
• Demonstrated success in leveraging frontier AI tools to generate real, team-oriented productivity improvements 

What We Offer:

• Comprehensive Medical Benefits
• Dental & Vision Benefits
• Life Insurance and ADD
• Up to 13 paid holidays per year, in addition to a company week-long holiday in December
• Flexible time off policy
• Catered lunches on-site
• 401(k) plan with company match
• Rondo HQ is close to Oakland airport - one block from the Bay - and has stunning Bay views!

This role is hybrid and necessitates being on-site at our Alameda HQ 3 days per week. The estimated annual salary range for this role is $215,000 - $250,000 and it would be eligible for Rondo's excellent benefits listed above plus additional compensation in the form of equity. Please note that some pay bands may have wide ranges of compensation to accommodate candidates' diverse sets of skill levels and experience.
