Job description

We are a renewable energy and ocean technology company committed to rapidly developing and deploying technologies that will ensure a sustainable future for Earth by unlocking the vast energy potential of its oceans. Our focus is on capturing civilizational levels of ultra-low-cost renewable energy for applications including computing and affordable renewable fuels delivered to shore.

The company is a public benefit corporation headquartered in Portland, Oregon and backed by leading venture capitalists, philanthropic investors, university endowments, and private investment offices. We operate as an idea meritocracy in which the best ideas change the company’s direction on a regular basis.

About the Job

As Director, Finance and Strategy, you will translate Panthalassa’s frontier technology into the language of capital markets and strategic partners. Reporting to the heads of strategy and finance and working closely with the CEO, you will :

  • Craft decks with clear, digestible narratives that seamlessly incorporate robust financial projections, significant technical complexity, and multi-phased global strategic plans. Telling stories with data is your superpower.
  • Own the detailed three-statement, project-finance, and scenario models that underpin every negotiation. Be great at building and modifying these solo, and at collaborating on them with large multi-disciplinary internal and external teams.
  • Produce in-depth reports on the AI-compute, data-center, and clean-energy markets; turn insights into decision-ready memos. You will live and breathe these markets and become an industry expert over time.
  • Draft communications at a high volume : emails, one-pagers, follow-up analyses, and more.
  • Maintain a robust CRM of key financial and strategic partners, and help to build critical relationships that lead to long-term, high-value deals.
  • Occasionally participate in meetings, conferences, and events with external parties and partners, bringing clear and valuable input and strong relationship-building skills to every interaction.

This is a high-visibility, high-ownership role on a lean team commercializing a once-in-a-generation technology. As one of our first business hires, you’ll be an integral part of bringing our products to market, have a seat at the table for major decisions with planetary-level impact, and enjoy limitless growth opportunities as we race to scale in the coming years.

Responsibilities

  • Deck Creation - Build visually beautiful and compelling narratives in PowerPoint / Keynote / Figma.
  • Financial Modeling - Develop and maintain dynamic models in Excel / GSheets / Quantrix (unit economics, financing waterfalls, sensitivities).
  • Data Visualization - Turn insights into best-in-class charts and graphs, reducing complex market dynamics to simple, digestible visualizations.
  • Market & Competitive Research - Size TAMs, benchmark costs, and monitor deals across data-center and energy-transition markets where public information isn’t always available.
  • Pipeline Management - Coordinate investor / partner contact lists, draft and polish email updates, and track engagement.
  • Executive Support - Prepare briefing docs, Q&A, and redlines for meetings; capture and drive follow-ups to closure.
  • Qualifications

    Required :

  • 5+ years in venture capital, investment banking, high-growth infrastructure or energy tech startups, project-finance advisory, strategy consulting, or similar.
  • Expert-level Excel (advanced formulas, macros a plus) and investor-grade presentation skills.
  • Demonstrated “extreme ownership” and comfort with tight deadlines, ambiguous data, and senior-level scrutiny.
  • Exceptional written communication; able to condense complex ideas into crisp bullets and headlines, and flex communication style for various consumers of documents.
  • Bonus : expertise in data-center markets, energy economics, or GPU / cloud-compute capacity planning.
  • Additional Requirements

  • Based in Portland, OR or willing to relocate or travel at least part-time (relocation assistance provided).
  • Willingness to work non-standard hours, including evenings / weekends, to hit aggressive goals that occasionally span time zones.
  • Some travel on short notice to meetings and conferences.
  • Compensation and Benefits

    If hired for this full-time role, you will receive :

  • Cash compensation of $250,000 - $320,000, depending on experience
  • Equity in the company. We’re all owners and if we’re successful, this equity should be far and away the most valuable component of your compensation.
  • A benefits package that helps you take care of yourself and your family, including :

  • Flexible paid time off
  • Health insurance (the company pays 100% of gold level PPO plan for full time employees, their partners, and dependents)
  • Dental insurance (the company pays 33% for full time employees and 100% for their partners and dependents)
  • Vision insurance (the company pays 100% for full time employees, their partners, and dependents)
  • Disability insurance (the company pays 100% for a policy to provide long term financial support if you become disabled)
  • Ability to contribute to tax-advantaged accounts, including 401(k), health FSA, and dependent care FSA
  • Relocation assistance to facilitate your move to Portland (if needed).
  • Location

    The ideal candidate will be based in Portland, Oregon, though we are open to remote / hybrid applicants who can travel to Portland up to 50% of the time. Our offices are located in Portland, Oregon.
