Director, FP&A

Quantum computing holds the promise of humanity’s mastery over the natural world, but only if we can build a real quantum computer. PsiQuantum is on a mission to build the first real, useful quantum computers, capable of delivering the world-changing applications that the technology has long promised. We know that means we will need to build a system with roughly 1 million qubits that supports fault tolerant error correction within a scalable architecture, and a data center footprint.

By harnessing the laws of quantum physics, quantum computers can provide exponential performance increases over today’s most powerful supercomputers, offering the potential for extraordinary advances across a broad range of industries including climate, energy, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, finance, agriculture, transportation, materials design, and many more.

PsiQuantum has determined the fastest path to delivering a useful quantum computer, years earlier than the rest of the industry. Our architecture is based on silicon photonics which gives us the ability to produce our components at Tier-1 semiconductor fabs such as GlobalFoundries where we leverage high-volume semiconductor manufacturing processes, the same processes that are already producing billions of chips for telecom and consumer electronics applications. We also benefit from the quantum mechanics reality that photons don’t feel heat or electromagnetic interference, allowing us to take advantage of existing cryogenic cooling systems and industry standard fiber connectivity.

In 2024, PsiQuantum announced two government-funded projects to support the build-out of our first Quantum Data Centers and utility-scale quantum computers in Brisbane, Australia and Chicago, Illinois. Both projects are backed by nations that understand quantum computing’s potential impact and the need to scale this technology to unlock that potential. And we won’t just be building the hardware, but also the fault tolerant quantum applications that will provide industry-transforming results.

Quantum computing is not just an evolution of the decades-old advancement in compute power. It provides the key to mastering our future, not merely discovering it. The potential is enormous, and we have the plan to make it real. Come join us.

There’s much more work to be done and we are looking for exceptional talent to join us on this extraordinary journey!

Job Summary:

As part of PsiQuantum finance and accounting team, the FP&A Director will collaborate with the CFO and and VP Finance to lead financial planning and forecasting. This person will serve as a key interface between Finance, the executive management team, the various departmental managers, and work cross functionally to hone the forecast, metrics, and analytics, and play a pivotal role in planning for the short, mid and long-term financial directions of the Company.

This position will play an important role in driving process improvement and scaling our infrastructure globally. The ideal candidate thrives in a fast-paced environment and welcomes the opportunity to make a difference in building accurate and timely processes across a global organization.

The position requires strong financial reporting, planning, and modeling skills, a working knowledge of Adaptive Planning, and good business acumen in the fields of compute, systems and semiconductors. It also requires the ability to understand the big picture of the Company's financial model, while being very detail oriented with the analysis of Revenues, Operating Expenses, CapEx and Cash Flows.

Responsibilities:

• Lead the corporate FP&A function and manage a small team.
• Fully own the annual financial operating plans (regular updates and adjustments to the detailed financial model.)
• Calculate, track, and monitor GAAP and Non-GAAP financial metrics.
• Build reporting processes and drive ad hoc analysis, modeling, and data requests to provide greater insight to stakeholders.
• Compile and refine the company's financial results for relevant audiences (e.g. company updates, quarterly results, investor updates, board updates & materials, etc.)
• Collaborate with company managers to integrate cross-functional financials into the budgeting and forecasting processes and long-term model.
• Collaborate with Corporate Controller to standardize the monthly/quarterly business review cadence and reporting package with each function.
• Complete monthly/quarterly budget vs. actual variance analysis and drive accountability.
• Assist with the ongoing monthly, quarterly and yearly planning process.
• Assess and support the company’s investment policies and investment activities.

Experience/Qualifications:

• 10 years of financial experience, some of whi
