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.
