Job Description

Job Description

Field AI is transforming how robots interact with the real world. We are building risk-aware, reliable, and field-ready AI systems that address the most complex challenges in robotics, unlocking the full potential of embodied intelligence. We go beyond typical data-driven approaches or pure transformer-based architectures, and are charting a new course, with already-globally-deployed solutions delivering real-world results and rapidly improving models through real-field applications.

Field AI is hiring a Senior Manager of Financial Planning & Analysis to build and lead our financial planning function during a period of rapid growth. Reporting directly to the CFO, this is a hands-on role that will own forecasting, budgeting, and financial analysis, while building scalable processes to support a high-performing finance team. You will partner closely with leadership across business and technology teams to deliver insight, drive performance, and help shape strategic decisions. We're looking for someone who has built finance processes from scratch in high-growth environments, thrives in a fast-paced setting, and brings a high bar for financial modeling, analytical thinking, and cross-functional collaboration.

What You'll Get To Do

• Budgeting & Forecasting : Lead annual and rolling budgeting processes; partner with department leads to build accurate and actionable forecasts.
• Financial Modeling & Analysis : Build and maintain robust financial models, including unit economics, scenario planning, and long-range forecasts.
• KPI & Financial Analytics : Analyze business performance, unit economics, and cost structures to identify key trends and opportunities.
• Management and Board reporting : Prepare high-quality reporting packages and materials for executive team, board meetings, and investor updates.
• Business Partnering : Work closely with functional leaders (Sales, Product, Engineering) to align financial goals with strategy.
• Systems & Tools : Work hands-on with tools like QuickBooks and Brex to ensure accurate data flow and process efficiency.

What Will Set You Apart

Compensation

The salary range for this role is competitive. The actual offer for this position will be based on factors such as relevant experience, competencies, certifications, and how well the candidate meets the qualifications outlined above. Part of our compensation package also includes full benefits, equity, and generous time.

Compensation and Benefits

Our salary range is between ($70,000 - $200,000 annual), but we take into consideration an individual's background and experience in determining final salary; base pay offered may vary considerably depending on geographic location, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.  Also, while we enjoy being together on-site, we are open to exploring a hybrid or remote option.

Why Join Field AI?

We are solving one of the world’s most complex challenges : deploying robots in unstructured, previously unknown environments. Our Field Foundational Models™ set a new standard in perception, planning, localization, and manipulation, ensuring our approach is explainable and safe for deployment.

You will have the opportunity to work with a world-class team that thrives on creativity, resilience, and bold thinking. With a decade-long track record of deploying solutions in the field, winning DARPA challenge segments, and bringing expertise from organizations like DeepMind, NASA JPL, Boston Dynamics, NVIDIA, Amazon, Tesla Autopilot, Cruise Self-Driving, Zoox, Toyota Research Institute, and SpaceX, we are set to achieve our ambitious goals.

Be Part of the Next Robotics Revolution

To tackle such ambitious challenges, we need a team as unique as our vision — innovators who go beyond conventional methods and are eager to tackle tough, uncharted questions. We’re seeking individuals who challenge the status quo, dive into uncharted territory, and bring interdisciplinary expertise. Our team requires not only top AI talent but also exceptional software developers, engineers, product designers, field deployment experts, and communicators.

We are headquartered in always-sunny Mission Viejo (Irvine adjacent), Southern California and have US based and global teammates.

Join us, shape the future, and be part of a fun, close-knit team on an exciting journey!
