Senior Financial Analyst South San Francisco

Ohalo is seeking a strategic and hands-on Sr. Financial Analyst to join our Finance Team. As Ohalo’s second Finance hire, you will play a central role in shaping Ohalo’s forecasting, budgeting, and decision support capabilities as we scale into manufacturing and commercial operations.

This is a high-impact, cross-functional role that blends analytical rigor with business partnership. You’ll work closely with teams across R&D, production, and commercial operations to drive insight and accountability - while helping to design systems and models that support Ohalo’s growth.

We’re looking for someone who thrives in ambiguity, enjoys digging into data, and wants to help build a finance function from the ground up. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in FP&A at an agtech, biotech, or hardtech company with exposure to manufacturing or production.

This is a foundational role with clear growth opportunities as we expand our finance function.

Responsibilities :

• FP&A and Budgeting : Develop and manage budgeting, expense tracking, and variance analyses. Ensure that spending remains aligned with approved budgets and identify optimization strategies for leadership.
• Business Partnering : Serve as a trusted finance partner to cross-functional teams, helping guide resource allocation and performance tracking.
• Strategic Analysis : Support ROI (return on investment) analyses, KPI (key performance indicator) reporting, and operational benchmarking to support capital planning, make-vs-buy decisions, and scaling opportunities.
• System & Process Development : Partner with procurement & accounting to design scalable financial workflows in partnership with procurement and accounting.
• Manufacturing Readiness : Collaborate with Ohalo’s production team to prepare for seed manufacturing — supporting early cost modeling, CapEx planning, and cost tracking structures.
