Director, Strategic Finance

Why join Giga The Pace: We're building at a speed most companies talk about but never actually operate at. If you've been bored somewhere else, you won't be here. The Impact: Every person at Giga touches the work that matters. No layers, no waiting for approval chains. You'll see your fingerprints on what we ship. The Team: A team of operators defining the future of AI infrastructure. We recruit A-players from the most innovative companies in the world, and they choose Giga because the work here means more. The Moment: AI doesn't run without power, and that's us. Giga is the picks and shovels behind the AI revolution. This industry is about to explode, and you'll be in the room where it's already happening. What you'll do As Sr. Financial Analyst , Corporate Finance & Strategy, you'll sit at the center of how Giga thinks about growth, capital, and long-range value creation. This isn't a reporting role — it's a seat at the table where real strategic decisions get made. You'll work directly with executive leadership to evaluate M&A opportunities, model capital structure scenarios, and build the financial narrative that guides how we allocate resources and communicate our story to the market. If you want to see the full picture of a high-growth infrastructure company and shape decisions that actually matter, this is that role. Where you'll work We are an in-office culture — velocity matters when you're building physical infrastructure, and the best decisions happen in the room. This role is ideally based in our San Francisco, Long Beach, or Houston offices, with full-time onsite expectations outside of bi-weekly WFH Fridays. That said, we will make exceptions for truly exceptional talent if you live outside one of our hubs. If you're the right person for this role, we'll have a conversation about what works. Responsibilities Lead corporate financial modeling efforts including long-range planning, scenario analysis, and valuation work to support executive and board-level decision-making. Drive strategic financial analysis for M&A, partnerships, and capital allocation decisions, including building and owning financial models from the ground up. Develop and maintain investor-ready materials including board presentations, investor decks, and financing memoranda. Partner with business unit leaders to evaluate ROI, unit economics, and strategic tradeoffs on major initiatives. Own competitive benchmarking and industry analysis to contextualize Giga's financial performance and positioning. Support fundraising, debt financing, and other capital markets activities as needed. Identify opportunities to improve financial processes, reporting systems, and analytical frameworks across the organization. Requirements 5+ years of experience in investment banking, private equity, corporate development, or a high-growth corporate finance function. Expert-level financial modeling skills, including DCF, LBO, merger models, and scenario analysis. Demonstrated ability to synthesize complex financial data into clear narratives and strategic recommendations. Experience presenting to senior leadership or boards with confidence and clarity. Proficiency in Excel/Google Sheets; ability to build and own complex models independently. Strong written and verbal communication skills — you can explain numbers to people who don't speak finance. Bachelor's degree in Finance, Economics, Accounting, or a related field. Bonus Points Experience in energy, infrastructure, data centers, or capital-intensive industries. Exposure to project finance, structured finance, or tax equity transactions. MBA or CFA designation. Experience supporting a company through a fundraise, IPO, or M&A transaction as an internal finance team member. Proficiency with BI or financial planning tools such as Tableau, Mosaic, Adaptive, or Anaplan. Benefits Subsidized health, dental, and vision insurance Equity (options) in a rapidly growing startup 401(k) with 4% employer match Unlimited PTO Parental leave Healthcare and Dependent Care Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA) Commuter benefits Who we hire We hire people who thrive in chaos and get sharper under pressure. You don't wait to be told what to do, you spot the gap and fill it. When there's work to be done, you do it. You make decisions with the information you have, move fast, and adjust along the way. We're not looking for perfect; we're looking for people who get things done.
