Financial Planning & Analysis Manager

Posted about 2 months ago

OfficeAustin, TXSE
Last Energy seeks a full-time Financial Planning & Analysis Manager to own the financial models that underpin our project economics. This role sits at the intersection of project finance, corporate strategy, and operational execution — translating the financial story of a first-of-kind nuclear deployment business into models, forecasts, and insights that drive decision-making at every level of the organization.
### Key Duties & Responsibilities
  • Own and maintain unit economics models, including construction cost forecasts, capital deployment schedules, contingency tracking, and long-term return metrics
  • Partner with the business development team to ensure model assumptions reflect current commercial, regulatory, and procurement realities
  • Translate project finance model outputs into clear, decision-ready analysis for the CEO, investors, and the board 
  • Build and maintain internal budget frameworks as the company transitions from development-stage planning to active project execution
  • Support ad hoc financial analysis for strategic decisions, including contracting, procurement, and capital allocation
  • Prepare financial summaries and scenario analyses for board and leadership consumption as needed
  • Lay the groundwork for a formal FP&A function as the company and project portfolio grow
  • Other duties as assigned
  • ### Qualifications
  • 4–7 years of experience in FP&A, project finance, or financial analysis in a capital-intensive industry — energy, infrastructure, defense, or similar
  • Strong financial modeling skills; able to inherit, interrogate, and evolve complex multi-year project economics models
  • Fluency in project finance concepts — construction draw schedules, IRR, NPV, contingency management, and capital deployment phasing
  • Comfortable operating as a senior IC in a lean, pre-revenue startup where structure is still being built
  • Strong communicator who can translate model outputs into clear narratives for non-finance leadership
  • Exposure to DOE loan programs, ATVM, or federal energy project financing structures is a plus
  • Experience transitioning a company from development-stage to operational financial reporting is a plus
  • NetSuite experience preferred
