Harbinger Motors

About Harbinger

Harbinger is an American commercial electric vehicle (EV) company on a mission to transform an industry starving for innovation. Harbinger’s best-in-class team of EV, battery, and drivetrain experts have pooled their deep experience to bring a first-of-its-kind EV platform to support the growing demand for medium-duty EVs and Hybrids. Harbinger: Familiar Form, Revolutionary Foundation.

Job Summary

Harbinger is a VC and PE-backed industrial startup based in Garden Grove, California. Our first product is hybrid and electric commercial vehicles for deliveries, work trucks, and RVs. Nowadays, our product offering has expanded to include Power Generation, Defense, and Software/AI.

The Capital Markets and Strategy team has two key mandates, the first being supporting the company’s fundraising strategy across equity, debt, and tax credits. The second is key strategic projects, including developing strategic plans and early go-to-market strategies for our less-developed verticals. As a Principal on this team, you will handle projects across both mandates, driving fundraising forward, while also handling one growth vertical and other ad-hoc strategic projects.

This role will be perfect for you if you are excited about private and public financial markets, strategic planning and growing early-stage business lines and do not shy away from ambiguity, ownership, and high expectations. You will succeed in this role if you love open-ended problem solving and desire to make an outsized contribution at a quickly-evolving company..

Job Responsibilities

  • Develop and maintain financial models and forecasts key to the business’s operation and fundraising efforts
  • Lead market research and go-to-market strategic planning for a nascent company vertical
  • Develop cross-functional knowledge bases to bolster internal and external growth plans
  • Identify and engage outside partners and potential customers for chosen vertical
  • Manage ad-hoc research financially-focused projects as requested by CFO and CEO (examples from the past year include: tariff mitigation strategies, new site selection, and tax credits, among others)

Required Skills

  • In-person 4+ days per week in Garden Grove, CA; occasional but not regular work travel (e.g., conferences, investor meetings)
  • MBA required; Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Economics, or STEM preferred
  • Prior experience in investment banking or strategic finance/corporate finance at a startup with direct experience to an IPO strongly preferred; consulting, financial services, or finance/capital markets at a scaling startup also work
  • Strong analytical skills with advanced proficiency with slides and spreadsheets required; experience with detailed financial modeling, scenario analysis, and creating strategic plans from these work products desired
  • Competent with AI, with ability to automate and augment their own analytical firepower with AI tools and creations
  • Exceptional communication and relationship-building abilities both internally and externally
  • Proven track record of managing complex, multi-faceted projects with limited oversight
  • Organizationally-minded with the ability to juggle multiple unrelated projects
  • Work authorized in the United States

Key Benefits & Perks

  • Comprehensive Health, Dental & Vision (HDV) – 100% employee covered
  • Early-stage Stock Options
  • Robust Retirement Savings (401k, HSA, FSA)
  • Generous Paid Time Off (PTO) & Parental Leave
  • Annual Vacation Bonus
