FP&A, Senior Director

Job description

ABOUT FLUIDSTACK We exist to make humanity more free. For most of human history, you farmed or you starved. Technology gave people more time for the things they wanted to do, instead of things they had to do. Powerful AI will be the biggest lever for human choice we've ever built - but only if models are aligned with what humanity actually wants. There are groups building AI who don't share these goals. Whoever deploys frontier compute infrastructure fastest will decide whether AI expands human freedom or shrinks it. We're singularly focused on delivering 10 to 100s of GWs of compute faster than anyone else, rethinking every layer of the stack. We acquire power, design and build data centers, and operate them - with teams spanning hardware and software. Speed and scale are our key differentiators. Come be a part of building civilization-scale infrastructure for AI. We hire people who care deeply about this problem space. If that is you, please apply!

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS - 10+ years of progressive FP&A experience, including prior experience in a senior leadership or director-level role. - Proven track record building and leading FP&A functions at high-growth technology, infrastructure, or pre-IPO companies. - Deep expertise in financial modeling, budgeting, forecasting, and long-range planning in complex, multi-entity environments. - Experience partnering directly with C-suite and board-level stakeholders on financial strategy and reporting. - Strong command of ERP systems; NetSuite proficiency required. - Demonstrated ability to hire, develop, and lead high-performing finance teams. - Exceptional communication skills — you can distill complex financial data into clear insights for both technical and non-technical audiences. - Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field; CPA or CFA preferred.
