Strategic Finance Manager

What You’ll Do: Build and own Until’s long-range financial model, operating forecast, and scenario planning across facility buildout, new programs, hiring, and capital needs. Create a model where every number can be traced back to a clear assumption.

Partner with the Director of Strategy to evaluate go-to-market strategy for a first-of-its-kind product.

Work closely with the CEO on future fundraising, including financial models, investor materials, diligence support, and data-room management.

Help shape our capital strategy across venture financing, non-dilutive grants and government awards, and strategic partnerships.

Own core finance operations as the company grows, including budgeting, vendor spend, cap table administration, 409A coordination, and partnership with our external accounting team.

Translate complex analyses into clear recommendations for scientists, founders, and investors.

About You: You have 4+ years of experience in investment banking, private equity, growth equity, corporate development, strategic finance, or another investing- or transaction-intensive role.

You are an exceptional modeler. You can build a model from scratch, develop well-supported assumptions, and distinguish between precision and false precision.

You can walk us through a model you built in depth: what question it answered, why you structured it that way, what assumptions mattered most, and what you learned when the first version was wrong.

You can produce a thoughtful back-of-the-envelope estimate quickly and explain the reasoning clearly to a scientist, founder, or investor.

You want broader ownership than a traditional finance seat offers. You are equally comfortable fixing a budget line, evaluating a major capital decision, and building a board-ready analysis.

You are comfortable being a one-person function initially and have the judgment to prioritize the work that matters most.

You are excited by the science and curious enough to understand how it drives the business.

You want to bring your finance toolkit to an ambitious, mission-driven company doing meaningful work in the world.
