The earth beneath our feet holds extraordinary, untapped capacity to accelerate the clean energy transition.

We seek creative, collaborative, proactive team members who inspire us with their high standards of excellence, integrity, and commitment to our shared mission.
About the Role
Bedrock is in our second year of commercialization and scaling our financial and operational foundations to support growth; accordingly, this FP&A Lead who will mature our financial planning, project-based accounting, and capital strategy across multiple capital types. This role will be central in building disciplined financial systems, equipping leadership with actionable insights, and ensuring our financial model supports both judicious company operations and product-driven technoeconomic analysis.

Excitement about and experience with equipment-intensive, construction-related clean energy deployment is a must.
As the first in-house finance hire, you will take ownership of our FP&A function and report directly to the CEO. This strategic role will require you to be a self-sufficient architect of financial systems, processes, and budgets, sometimes from the ground up. You will take on some of the Controller role, orienting Bedrock’s financials for strategic communication suitable for a future Series B fundraise. While you will oversee our outsourced accounting firm, you should be prepared to roll up your sleeves to handle budget modeling and improve the structure of our accounting.
