About this role

About Gridware
Gridware is a San Francisco-based technology company dedicated to protecting and enhancing the electrical grid. We pioneered a groundbreaking new class of grid management called active grid response (AGR), focused on monitoring the electrical, physical, and environmental aspects of the grid that affect reliability and safety. Gridware’s advanced Active Grid Response platform uses high-precision sensors to detect potential issues early, enabling proactive maintenance and fault mitigation. This comprehensive approach helps improve safety, reduce outages, and ensure the grid operates efficiently. The company is backed by climate-tech and Silicon Valley investors. For more information, please visit www.Gridware.io.

As a member of the Strategic Finance team, you'll sit at the intersection of finance, operations, and strategy — partnering closely with the CFO and cross-functional leaders (Sales, Ops, Product) to drive planning, forecasting, and key business decisions. This is a highly visible, high-impact role for someone who wants to build financial infrastructure from the ground up at a fast-growing startup, not just maintain what already exists.

You'll move fluidly between deep analytical work and strategic conversations with leadership, and you'll need to be comfortable with ambiguity

Responsibilities

  • Own and continuously evolve the company’s long-range financial plan, integrating revenue, operating, and investment assumptions and developing scenario and sensitivity analyses to inform strategic priorities and capital allocation 
  • Partner with the CFO on fundraising prep — investor materials, board decks, data rooms, and diligence support 
  • Analyze unit economics to inform go-to-market and investment decisions 
  • Support ad hoc strategic projects — new market entry, headcount planning, capital allocation, M&A evaluation 
  • Help build scalable finance processes and systems as the company grows 
  • Translate complex financial analysis into clear, actionable recommendations for non-finance stakeholders 

Required Skills

  • 3–6 years of relevant experience in investment banking, private equity, venture capital, consulting, strategic finance, FP&A, or a related analytical finance role.
  • Advanced Excel/financial modeling skills; comfort building models from scratch 
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with high attention to detail 
  • Excellent communication skills — able to distill complex analysis into a clear narrative for executives and the board 
  • A bias toward action and comfort operating with ambiguity in a fast-paced, resource-constrained environment 
  • Experience with fundraising, board reporting, or investor relations is a plus 
  • Strong understanding of core accounting concepts and financial statements, including how business activity flows through the income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow statement 
  • Familiarity with SaaS/hardware metrics and startup finance (burn, runway, ARR, gross margin) is a plus
