Base is America’s next-generation power company. We’re rebuilding the foundation of modern civilization–electricity–by deploying a vast network of distributed batteries that is transforming today’s fragile, centralized grid into a resilient and abundant system. We are engineers, operators, and creatives solving some of the most complex, interdisciplinary challenges of our time.
We are looking for someone to support the build-out of our core financial operations at Base. The finance team at Base is very lean, and this role will be tasked with (1) developing core planning processes and analytical models that drive the highest level strategic decisions at the company, and (2) working shoulder to shoulder with our engineers and operators as the finance partner supporting their decisions (e.g., factory build-out, hardware design, sales & marketing).
This role has a wide scope in a complex, high velocity, vertically integrated business. You'll be at the heart of the action.
Base’s finance needs are growing rapidly given the business model is both capital intensive and driven by project unit economics, making this a unique opportunity for intellectually stimulating work.
What You’ll Do
Lead strategic and financial planning processes including our supply/demand planning and an accompanying 3-statement corporate model.
Build out systems and processes for near- and long-term demand planning across our multiple customer acquisition channels.
Analyze and drive financial and operational performance across the company, including project-level profitability and operating efficiency.
Partner with other business functions to develop plans and budgets, and assess the financial impact of key decisions or new opportunities.
Support ongoing reporting on financial and operational performance to Base’s leadership team, Base’s board of directors, and Base’s broader investor base.
What You'll Bring
Experience in a finance role at an engineering-led company, or in an investing / investment banking / consulting role with a desire to be an operator.
Comfort engaging with engineering-led systems (e.g., SQL databases) to extract financial and operational performance.
Experience in manufacturing, energy, power, renewables, infrastructure.
Effective verbal and written communication skills.
First Principles Thinking: Question assumptions. Principles > rules.
Operate at Base Pace: Focus on what matters, act quickly, and learn by doing.
Give & Get Feedback: Be direct, be humble, and maintain a growth mindset.
Everyone’s an Owner: Follow through on commitments and own results.
Strong Opinions, Loosely Held: Drive clarity and make calls with imperfect information.
Committed to the Mission: Rebuilding the grid is a big challenge. We work hard because we care deeply about the impact we’re creating. We work in-person. It’s not a 9-to-5. We are all-in.
Fun & Optimism Coexist with Grit: Collaboration and celebration coincide with the intensity of building real things.
