Senior Manager, FP&A

About Us

Nuro believes self-driving vehicles are the most immediate and profound opportunity for AI to drive positive change in the physical world. Safer streets, more time for what matters, and easier access to the world around us—that’s why we’re building a universal autonomy platform: self-driving for all roads and all rides. Founded in 2016, Nuro is a physical AI company developing Level 4 autonomous driving technology for a wide range of vehicles, use cases, and markets. Powered by the Nuro Driver™, our universal autonomy platform enables the global mobility ecosystem to deploy autonomy at scale, from robotaxis and logistics fleets to personal vehicles. With years of real-world deployment experience and a flexible, partner-led business model, Nuro is working toward a future where millions of autonomous vehicles powered by our technology help make everyday life safer, easier, and more connected.

Nuro has raised over $2B in capital from Uber, NVIDIA, Google, Softbank, Fidelity, T. Rowe Price, and other leading investors.

About The Team

Nuro’s Finance team is small and deeply embedded in the business. We partner directly with engineering, operations, and G&A leaders on how capital gets allocated, and we support the company’s most consequential decisions, from partnership economics to long-range planning. As Nuro expands its commercial partnerships, we are building a dedicated Corporate FP&A function. This role will be the first hire and foundational owner of that function. You will have significant autonomy, broad visibility, and direct access to senior leadership.

About The Role

As Senior Manager, Corporate FP&A, you will establish and own Nuro’s company-wide financial planning and reporting infrastructure. You will lead the company-wide budget, headcount plan, monthly consolidated budget-versus-actuals, and rolling reforecast, which together guide how the executive team manages the business. You will also build the systems, data model, and governance processes that support those activities. Nuro’s planning process is spreadsheet-based today, so you are not inheriting a machine to maintain; you are building one. You will report to the Head of Finance and take your work directly to our CFO and co-CEOs.

Responsibilities

• Own the financial operating rhythm. Build and run the annual budget and headcount plan end to end: timeline, data requirements, templates, executive alignment, approvals, and communication. From there, own the monthly consolidated budget-versus-actuals and a rolling reforecast process.
• Own the headcount plan. Manage the company headcount plan of record and the incremental headcount approval process.
• Executive and board reporting. Produce the financial reporting our executive team and board rely on, spanning working-team detail to board-level narrative. Explain what changed, why it changed, what it means, and what we should do about it—not just publish variances.
• Accounting partnership and cash-to-GAAP fluency. Work closely with Accounting to connect FP&A to the close, the chart of accounts, and the ERP, ensuring plan and actuals reconcile. Build the ability to flex between accrual and cash views of key metrics, and help leadership understand which view is right for a given decision.
• Spend governance. Design and run the processes that control how Nuro commits capital: incremental headcount approvals and budget adjustment proposals. Ensure these processes are rigorous yet fast enough to adapt to the pace of our business.
• Scenario modeling. Work with our Strategic Finance team to model the cash and accounting impacts of major partnerships, program launches, and financing events, and stress-test the plan against a range of outcomes.
• Financial systems and data. Own FP&A systems and data. Select and implement a planning platform and build the foundation underneath it, including hierarchies, cost drivers, and dimensionality, to enable fast and accurate planning and reporting.
• AI adoption. Track and adopt AI tooling to make FP&A faster, more flexible, and more accurate. Help build a modern, AI-native finance team.

Qualifications

• 7+ years of finance experience, including 3+ years in FP&A at a scaled technology company. You have personally owned a planning cycle and understand what works and what doesn’t.
• Operated at a public-company standard. Experience working inside a publicly traded technology company or helping a company through IPO readiness.
• GAAP fluency across all three financial statements. Strong understanding of cash-flow dynamics and the ability to move confidently between cash and GAAP views of the business.
• Hands-on experience with planning systems. Worked on a planning platform such as Anaplan, Workday Adaptive Planning, or Oracle Hyperion, and understand how it integrates with an ERP. You have opinions about what to build in the tool and what to leave out.
• Ability to drive a company-wide process. Set timelines and objectives, obtain approvals, build cross-functional buy-in, communicate clearly, hold teams accountable, and ensure high-quality output.
• Big-picture and detail-oriented. Variances tie, and you can tell leadership what in the P&L actually matters.
• Collaborative mindset. Our Finance team is lean, and priorities move quickly. You will work closely with Strategic Finance to tackle whatever is most important, rather than defending a specific lane.

Bonus Points

• Built or managed a high-performance FP&A team.
• Led the implementation of planning software.
• Been through an IPO or directly involved in IPO preparation.
• Experience in AI, hardware, automotive, or other hard-tech businesses.
• Owned a company headcount plan end-to-end in partnership with a People or Talent organization.
