About Us
Maybell Quantum is redefining the future of computing. As a venture-backed quantum hardware innovator experiencing rapid growth, we're building technology that will transform industries for decades to come. Quantum computers will be as transformative to the next 30 years as the internet was to the last 30—and our team is creating the hardware foundation to make this revolution possible.
Position Overview
We're seeking an experienced Head of Strategic Finance to join our leadership team. In this pivotal role, you'll drive financial strategy and operational excellence during a period of accelerated growth. You'll partner directly with executive leadership to shape financial decisions that impact the company's trajectory in the advanced hardware technology ecosystem.
Key Responsibilities
Strategic Leadership & FP&A
- Own the financial roadmap: Translate ambitious growth objectives into comprehensive financial strategies and KPIs.
- Build and maintain the company's core metrics framework—spanning revenue, gross margin, burn, and operational efficiency—ensuring leadership has a single source of truth for decision-making.
- Develop and continuously refine sophisticated financial models (operating plans, rolling forecasts, scenario analyses, and customer- and unit-level P&Ls) that surface actionable insights, not just outputs.
- Define and track leading indicators of business health, including pipeline coverage, contract velocity, margin progression by product line, technology readiness milestones, and the financial implications of R&D stage gates—connecting technical progress to capital deployment and revenue timing. Model and track non-dilutive funding (government grants, SBIR/STTR awards, strategic contracts) alongside equity capital, maintaining a consolidated view of total capital availability and deployment across funding sources.
- Partner with the Exec Team: Serve as a strategic advisor to leadership, driving cross-functional initiatives and bringing a financial lens to product and go-to-market decisions.
Operations & Global Reporting
- Partner with the Controller to ensure financial results are translated into clear insights on burn, runway, budget variance, and operating performance—with consistent reporting cadences that hold the organization accountable.
- Analyze unit economics at the hardware level—tracking cost-per-system, manufacturing yield, and bill-of-materials trends—to build financial models that reflect the realities of a capital-intensive hardware business scaling through production ramp.
- Establish variance analysis discipline across departments: identify drivers of deviation from plan, synthesize root causes, and drive corrective action with functional owners.
- Build dashboards and reporting infrastructure that give the executive team real-time visibility into the metrics that matter most.
Growth & Stakeholder Management
- Lead Investor Relations: Prepare compelling board materials and investor updates grounded in rigorous metric storytelling—translating operational performance into the financial narrative that supports future fundraising.
- Define the KPI framework shared externally with investors, ensuring consistency between internal management metrics and what is communicated to the board and prospective capital partners. Scale the function. Build, mentor, and lead a high-performing internal finance team as the organization scales.
Qualifications
- MBA, CFA, or CPA a plus, but not required; demonstrated analytical horsepower matters more than credentials.8+ years of progressive finance experience, with at least 3+ years in leadership roles
- Comfort modeling businesses with long development cycles, hardware production ramps, and revenue recognition complexity across contract types.
- Experience with government contract structures (cost-plus, FFP, SBIR/STTR) and the financial reporting obligations that accompany them.
- Ability to build rigorous financial structure around inherently uncertain R&D timelines—translating technical milestones into financial planning inputs without false precision.
- Proven track record in high-growth technology startups or deep tech environments
- Experience with investor relations, and financial strategy in venture-backed companies
- Experience partnering with accounting, tax, and external advisors to support board reporting, planning, and strategic finance initiatives
- Strong business acumen with the ability to translate complex financial data into strategic insights
- Excellence in stakeholder management across all organizational levels
- Exceptional analytical, problem-solving, and decision-making capabilities
- Outstanding communication skills with the ability to present complex financial information clearly

- Competitive Compensation : Base salary range $140,000 - $220,000, with additional compensation through performance bonuses and equity options in one of the country's most promising startups
