Senior Manager, Financial Planning & Analysis

About the role

We are looking for a Senior Manager of FP&A to become the dedicated owner of Rondo Energy's financial planning engine at a pivotal moment of growth. Fresh off going live with its first ERP (NetSuite), Rondo is now building out its EPM platform and needs a hands-on finance leader to manage disciplined cash forecasting, drive the long-term corporate model, and deliver the near/mid-term cash forecast and reporting that inform leadership and the board.

Responsibilities

• Model & forecasting — Own the consolidated financial model across the four planning layers — headcount, OpEx, revenue, and financing. Inherit the simplified in-house model and migrate it into Vena. Build and maintain driver-based scenario planning.
• Cash & runway — Own the cash forecasting mechanics; produce the runway view to roughly one-to-two-week precision; partner directly with the CFO for capital-timing decisions
• Planning cycles — Assist Controllership in running the annual budget, monthly reforecasting and scenario analysis, departmental cost management, and board-cycle refreshes
• Reporting — Produce board packs, ELT summaries, and weekly cash reporting, with a focus on repeatability and automation
• Systems / EPM — Complete the EPM buildout alongside an excellent cross-functional team of stakeholders—Corporate Controls, Project Controls, People, Commercial, and Department Budget Owners, among others. Partner closely with Corporate Controllership on NetSuite-sourced actuals; own the FP&A tool stack
• Business partnering — Continuously refine and streamline consolidated FP&A processes across Controllership (actuals), Commercial (revenue & pipeline), People (headcount & comp), and the CFO (capital)

Requirements

• Experience owning a company-level, driver-based financial model end-to-end
• Elite Excel modeling; fluency at the nexus where GAAP/IFRS accounting meets forward-looking FP&A (translating GL/ERP actuals into forecast)
• Experience with EPM implementation or ownership (Vena, Anaplan, Pigment, or Planful)
• Capital-intensive / hardware / deep-tech / project-based-revenue context; comfort in a pre-scale, cash-disciplined environment
• The ability to communicate confidently and directly with a Board- and ELT members
• The ability to manage highly complex, nuanced needs while driving simplicity, durability, and repeatability in process construction and ownership
• Experience in a high-growth, climate, energy, or industrials company, ideally with VC or similar early/mid-stage capital backing
• A proven track record of flexibility and adaptability with fast changing environments
• A curiosity-forward, intellectually-humble, and bias-toward-action-oriented approach to complex problem solving
• Demonstrated success in leveraging frontier AI tools to generate real, team-oriented productivity improvements
