About the Role

This is not a traditional Investor Relations role.

We are looking for a financing operator - someone who can run complex growth-stage capital raises end-to-end, build institutional-grade financial narratives, and operate credibly with sophisticated investors across infrastructure, AI, defense, and sovereign capital markets.

You will work directly with the COO and executive leadership team as the internal lead for financing, strategic finance initiatives, and investor engagement. When a financing process is live, you become the operational quarterback for the company.

This role sits at the intersection of:

Strategic Finance
Capital Markets
Corporate Development
Investor Communications
Executive Operations

Location. This role is hybrid and based in either our San Francisco Presidio office or our Bellevue, Washington office.

Main responsibilities:

Lead Financing Processes

Lead equity and strategic financing processes end-to-end
Own investor diligence, data rooms, timelines, and financing workflows
Coordinate cross-functional execution across finance, legal, tax, operations, and technical teams
Manage investors, bankers, counsel, and external advisors throughout live processes
Maintain momentum across multiple stakeholders and reduce executive process overhead

Strategic Finance, Modeling, and Investor Outreach

Build and maintain operating models, forecasts, and scenario analyses
Understand and articulate infrastructure economics including GPU utilization, capex structures, deployment costs, and margin scaling
Support fundraising, valuation, liquidity planning, and long-range capital strategy
Defend financial assumptions and operating metrics with institutional-grade rigor
Translate Armada’s business into a compelling institutional investment thesis
Synthesize AI infrastructure, sovereign AI, edge compute, ruggedized deployments, and software orchestration into investor-ready materials
Tailor messaging for infrastructure funds, sovereign investors, crossover funds, strategics, and family offices
Develop crisp decks, memos, FAQs, and investor updates that anticipate hard questions

Operate with Executive Presence

Engage directly with sophisticated investors and strategic stakeholders
Lead financing and diligence discussions independently when needed
Present financial and operational insights clearly under pressure
Operate as a trusted strategic partner to the COO and executive leadership team
Bring a high-ownership, low-ego mentality — no “IR-ish” polish, just strong judgment and execution

Qualifications:

5+ years of experience across investment banking, strategic finance, corporate development, growth equity, or related fields
Prior experience at a top-tier investment bank, private equity / growth equity firm, or high-growth technology company
Strong financial modeling, valuation, and analytical capabilities
Experience supporting or executing growth-stage financing transactions
Ability to understand and communicate complex infrastructure and technology business models
Excellent written and verbal communication skills
High degree of ownership, operational rigor, and attention to detail
Comfortable operating in fast-moving, ambiguous environments

Preferred Qualifications:

Prior experience at a relevant AI infrastructure or high-growth infrastructure businesses
Experience in AI infrastructure, cloud infrastructure, defense technology, data centers, compute platforms, or adjacent sectors
Exposure to sovereign investors, infrastructure funds, or late-stage crossover financings
Experience managing diligence-intensive financing processes
MBA, CFA, or advanced finance/accounting background is a plus
Experience leading M&A processes and cross-border transactions a plus
