The opportunity
Nuro believes self-driving vehicles are the most immediate and profound opportunity for AI to drive positive change in the physical world. Safer streets, more time for what matters, and easier access to the world around us, that’s why we’re building a universal autonomy…
What you'll do
Own the financial operating rhythm. You will build and run the annual budget: and headcount plan end to end: timeline, data requirements, templates, executive alignment, approvals, and communication. From there you will own the monthly consolidated budget-versus-actuals and a rolling reforecast process.
Own the headcount plan. You will own the company headcount plan of record and: the incremental headcount approval process.
Executive and board reporting. You will produce the financial reporting our: executive team and board rely on, spanning working-team detail to board-level narrative. Your job is not to publish variances; it is to say what changed, why it changed, what it means, and what we should do about it.
Accounting partnership and cash-to-GAAP fluency. You will work hand in hand: with Accounting to connect FP&A to the close, the chart of accounts, and the ERP, so plan and actuals reconcile. You will build the ability to flex between accrual and cash views of key metrics, and help leadership understand which view is the right one for a given decision.
Spend governance. You will design and run the processes that control how Nuro: commits capital: incremental headcount approvals and budget adjustment proposals. You will make these processes rigorous enough to trust and fast enough to adapt to the pace of our business.
Scenario modeling. Working closely with our Strategic Finance team, you will: model the cash and accounting impacts of major partnerships, program launches, and financing events, and stress-test the plan against a range of outcomes.
What they're looking for
- Financial systems and data. You will own FP&A systems and data. You will: select and implement a planning platform and build the foundation underneath it, including hierarchies, cost drivers, and dimensionality, so that we can plan and report at speed.
- AI adoption. You will actively track and adopt AI tooling to make FP&A: faster, more flexible, and more accurate. We expect this function to be a proving ground for what a modern, AI-native finance team looks like, and we will give you room to build it that way.
- + years of finance experience, including 3+ years in FP&A at a scaled: technology company. You have personally owned a planning cycle and seen what works and doesn’t.
- You have operated at a public-company standard. You have worked inside a: publicly traded technology company, or you have helped take a company through IPO readiness.
