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.
