Build the Path Forward

At Path Robotics, we’re building the future of embodied intelligence. Our AI-driven systems enable robots to adapt, learn, and perform in the real world closing the skilled labor gap and transforming industries. We go beyond traditional methods, combining perception, reasoning, and control to deliver field-ready AI that is risk-aware, reliable, and continuously improving through real-world use.

Big, hard problems are our everyday work, and our team of intelligent, humble, and driven people make the impossible possible together.

We are looking for a highly analytical and business-minded FP&A Manager to help scale the financial operating system of the company. This role will act as a strategic partner to company leadership and own core planning, performance management, and decision-support processes across the organization. You will help translate operational complexity into financial clarity and ensure disciplined execution as the business scales.

This is an ideal role for someone who thrives in ambiguity, enjoys building from scratch, and wants to materially influence how a fast-growing robotics company allocates capital and executes strategy.

What You’ll Do
  • Own the Financial Operating Cadence

    • Lead the company forecasting process (weekly outlooks, monthly forecast, annual plan, and long-range model)
    • Establish scalable planning and reporting processes across departments
    • Drive monthly business reviews and performance accountability across functional leaders
    • Develop and maintain KPI frameworks that connect operational metrics to financial outcomes
    • Improve reporting efficiency by incorporating automation and AI-assisted workflows into recurring finance processes

    Strategic Decision Partner

    • Partner with Product, Engineering, Operations, and GTM leadership to evaluate investments, capacity decisions, and pricing strategy
    • Evaluate ROI of major initiatives including deployments, product development, and expansion efforts
    • Translate business strategy into financial models that guide resource allocation
    • Identify risks and opportunities early and drive corrective actions with stakeholders

    Modeling & Analysis

    • Own the company operating model and scenario planning framework
    • Build models supporting fundraising, capital planning, and board decision-making
    • Perform deep dive analyses into margins, unit economics, utilization, and scaling efficiency
    • Deliver clear narratives from complex data to executive leadership

    Executive & Investor Support

    • Support preparation of Board and investor materials
    • Partner with the VP Finance and CEO on financial storytelling and performance communication
    • Help define operating targets and ensure the organization is aligned to them

    Build Scalable Infrastructure

    • Improve systems, reporting automation, and data quality across finance and operations
    • Leverage modern tooling (including AI-enabled analysis and workflow automation) to reduce manual work and increase decision speed
    • Implement processes that increase accountability and visibility across teams
    • Mentor junior analysts and help establish best practices for financial rigor
Who You Are
  • 5–8 years of experience in FP&A, investment banking, consulting, or strategic finance
  • Experience operating as a business partner to senior stakeholders
  • Strong understanding of financial statements, forecasting, and operating drivers
  • Advanced modeling skills (complex models, scenario planning, sensitivity analysis)
  • Comfortable adopting new tools and improving workflows through automation and AI assistance
  • Able to move between high-level strategy and detailed execution
  • Clear communicator who can influence without authority
  • Comfortable working in ambiguity and building structure where it doesn’t exist
  • Strong ownership mindset — you proactively identify problems and solve them

Preferred Experience

  • High-growth startup, SaaS, robotics, or manufacturing environment
  • ERP / planning systems (NetSuite, DataRails, etc.)
  • SQL, BI tools, or data analytics experience

Why You’ll Love Working Here

  • Daily free lunch to keep you fueled and connected with the team
  • Flexible PTO so you can take the time you need, when you need it
  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage
  • 6 weeks fully paid parental leave, plus an additional 6–8 weeks for birthing parents (12–14 weeks total)
  • 401(k) retirement plan through Empower
  • Generous employee referral bonuses—help us grow our team!
