Full job description

Last Energy seeks a full-time Financial Planning & Analysis Manager to own the financial models that underpin our project economics. This role sits at the intersection of project finance, corporate strategy, and operational execution — translating the financial story of a first-of-kind nuclear deployment business into models, forecasts, and insights that drive decision-making at every level of the organization.

Key Duties & Responsibilities

Own and maintain unit economics models, including construction cost forecasts, capital deployment schedules, contingency tracking, and long-term return metrics
Partner with the business development team to ensure model assumptions reflect current commercial, regulatory, and procurement realities
Translate project finance model outputs into clear, decision-ready analysis for the CEO, investors, and the board
Build and maintain internal budget frameworks as the company transitions from development-stage planning to active project execution
Support ad hoc financial analysis for strategic decisions, including contracting, procurement, and capital allocation
Prepare financial summaries and scenario analyses for board and leadership consumption as needed
Lay the groundwork for a formal FP&A function as the company and project portfolio grow
Other duties as assigned

Qualifications

4–7 years of experience in FP&A, project finance, or financial analysis in a capital-intensive industry — energy, infrastructure, defense, or similar
Strong financial modeling skills; able to inherit, interrogate, and evolve complex multi-year project economics models
Fluency in project finance concepts — construction draw schedules, IRR, NPV, contingency management, and capital deployment phasing
Comfortable operating as a senior IC in a lean, pre-revenue startup where structure is still being built
Strong communicator who can translate model outputs into clear narratives for non-finance leadership
Exposure to DOE loan programs, ATVM, or federal energy project financing structures is a plus
Experience transitioning a company from development-stage to operational financial reporting is a plus
NetSuite experience preferred
