Description

About Us Are you ready to build the future of supply chain? At Gather AI, we're not just creating software; we're pioneering a new era of warehouse intelligence. We've developed a groundbreaking, vision-powered platform that uses autonomous drones and existing equipment to capture real-time data, completely digitizing workflows that have historically been manual and error-prone. This means facilities operate smarter, safer, and more efficiently, ultimately redefining "on-time, in full" delivery. If you're looking for an opportunity to contribute to truly transformative technology and make a significant impact in a vital industry, Gather AI is the place for you. We're leading the charge in the rapidly evolving robotics industry, and we invite you to join us in reshaping the global supply chain, one intelligent warehouse at a time. The Role As the Strategic Finance Manager, you will not just be "running the numbers." You will be a key partner to the executive team, helping to steer the company through its next phase of growth. You will own the financial model, lead fundraising preparation, and provide the analytical backbone for critical decisions across sales, operations, and engineering. Key Responsibilities Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A): Own the integrated financial model (P&L, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow). Drive the annual budgeting process and monthly variance analysis. Strategic Decision Support: Build frameworks to evaluate new market entries, pricing strategies, and ROI for product R&D. Unit Economics & Metrics: Deeply analyze and report on SaaS and hardware-enabled service metrics (LTV, CAC, Payback Period, Gross Margin by cohort). Fundraising & IR: Prepare materials for Board of Directors meetings and future equity/debt fundraising rounds, including pitch decks and data rooms. Operational Partnership: Work closely with the Operations team to optimize hardware procurement cycles and deployment costs. Systems Scaling: Implement and manage robust financial tech stacks (e.g., ERP, planning tools) to automate reporting as we scale. Qualifications Experience: 4–7 years of experience in Investment Banking, Management Consulting, or Strategic Finance/BizOps at a high-growth startup. Hard Skills: Mastery of Excel/Google Sheets. You should be able to build complex, dynamic models from scratch that are both robust and easy for others to navigate. Sector Knowledge: Experience with SaaS metrics is a must; experience with "Hardware-as-a-Service" (HaaS) or robotics is a significant plus. Communication: Ability to distill complex financial data into a narrative that resonates with non-finance stakeholders. Education: Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Economics, Engineering, or a related field. Why Gather AI? Impact: Your work directly influences our runway and strategic pivot points. Innovation: Work at the intersection of AI, robotics, and global supply chains. Culture: A high-autonomy, high-accountability environment where intellectual curiosity is rewarded.
