Looking to make a real impact in the clean energy space?

A fast-growing, VC-backed clean energy start-up is seeking a Strategic Finance Associate (Founder's Office) to work directly with the CEO and senior leadership team. This is a strategic, hands-on role designed for someone who enjoys solving complex problems and can bring structure and clarity in a fast-paced, mission-driven environment.

You'll take ownership of core financial modelling, support fundraising and strategic planning, and provide commercial insights that shape product, pricing, and go-to-market decisions.

🔧 What You'll Do

  • Own and develop the company's 5-year financial model and business plan
  • Conduct scenario and sensitivity analysis to support key strategic decisions
  • Translate technical performance data into cost, carbon, and commercial models
  • Support fundraising by preparing financials, materials, and investor-ready outputs
  • Work cross-functionally with product and commercial teams to guide pricing, partnerships, and customer proposals
  • Tackle ad hoc strategic projects across operations, sales, and finance

🎯 What You Bring

  • Experience in consulting, strategic finance, or early-stage startups
  • Advanced Excel skills and strong financial modelling capabilities
  • A proven ability to work independently, structure analysis, and deliver clear insights
  • Strong communication skills - able to explain complex ideas simply to technical and non-technical audiences
  • Bonus if you have exposure to climate tech, carbon accounting, or fundraising environments

🚀 Why This Role?

  • Be a core strategic partner to the leadership team at a pivotal growth stage
  • Gain exposure to fundraising, commercial strategy, and product economics
  • Shape a role that could evolve into something long-term post-funding
  • Join a team that values autonomy, curiosity, and commercial creativity

🕐 One interview. One real-world modelling challenge. Fast decision-making.

If you're ready to roll up your sleeves, take ownership, and help accelerate the clean energy transition, we'd love to hear from you.
