Strategic Finance

About Base

Base is building the foundation of American power. The grid is the largest, most complex machine in the world. Yet it’s aging, struggling to keep up with today’s demand, and is unprepared for our electrified future.

Base is modernizing the grid as the first engineering-led, technology-driven power company. We’re deploying a nationwide network of distributed batteries that strengthens critical infrastructure and saves Americans money.

Our team of engineers, operators, creatives, technicians, and electricians design and deploy systems at speed. If you want to tackle the problem that will define this century and shape the future of American energy, now is the time. Join us.

About the Role

We are looking for someone to support the build-out of our core financial operations at Base. The finance team at Base is very lean, and this role will be tasked with (1) developing core models and analytical tools that drive strategic decisions at the company, and (2) working shoulder to shoulder with our engineers and operators as the finance partner supporting their decisions (e.g., factory build-out, hardware design, sales & marketing).

Base’s finance needs are growing rapidly given the business model is both capital intensive and driven by project unit economics, making this a unique opportunity for intellectually stimulating work.

What You’ll Do

• Lead quarterly financial planning processes including a detailed 3-statement corporate model.

• Build out systems and processes for near- and long-term demand planning across our multiple customer acquisition channels.

• Develop and maintain systems and processes to analyze financial and operational performance across the company, including project-level unit economics and thoughtful cohort analyses.

• Partner with other business functions to develop budgets and analyze the financial impact of key decisions or new opportunities.

• Support ongoing reporting on financial and operational performance to Base’s leadership team, Base’s board of directors, and Base’s broader investor base.

What You'll Bring

• 2+ years of experience in a finance role at an engineering-led company, or in an investing / investment banking / consulting role with a desire to be an operator.

• Comfort engaging with engineering-led systems (e.g., SQL databases) to extract financial and operational performance.

• Experience in manufacturing, energy, power, renewables, infrastructure.

• Effective verbal and written communication skills.

Our Values

We’re building a winning culture and we’re looking for people who are up for the challenge. Here’s what we expect from day one:

• In-Person Only: We work full-time in the office. No hybrid. No remote.

• Challenge the Status Quo: Question assumptions. Fix broken systems. Principles > rules.

• Move Fast: Focus on what matters, act quickly, and learn by doing.

• Give & Get Feedback: Be direct, be humble. Challenge ideas–including your own.

• Own the Outcome: Take full responsibility. Deliver results. No excuses.

• Act Like an Owner: Be resourceful, mindful of impact, and committed to the business.

• Be Decisive: Drive clarity. Make bold calls with imperfect info.

• Bring the Intensity: This is not a 9-to-5. We're building something hard which requires real commitment.
