Prepare weekly cash reporting, including the weekly cash update to the founders and the 13-week cash forecast.

Take progressive ownership of the 13-week cash forecast, keeping it current with actuals and inputs from Accounting, FP&A and program teams.

Support, and progressively own, the analysis of cash burn, runway and cash scenarios (e.g. delayed collections, hiring or capex changes).

Analyze forecast-to-actual cash variances and use the findings to improve forecast accuracy.

Support annual and multi-year cash projections with FP&A.

Work closely with Accounting and FP&A to ensure consistent methodologies and timely delivery of consolidated reporting.

Build strong, trusted relationships across the company (programs, Opex owners, leadership) and help position Finance as a key business partner.

Support the optimization and automation of cash management tools and processes, with increasing use of AI.

Work with distributed teams across the US and France.

Who We Are

Loft Orbital builds “shareable” satellites, providing a fast & simple path to orbit for organizations that require access to space. Powered by our hardware & software products, we operate satellites, fly customer payloads onboard, and handle entire missions from end to end - significantly reducing the lead-time and risk of a traditional space mission.

Our standard interface enables us to fly multiple customer payloads on the same satellite, with capabilities such as earth imagery, weather & climate /science data collection, IoT connectivity, in-orbit demonstrations, and national security missions. Our customers trust us to manage their space infrastructure, so they can focus on what matters most to them: operating their mission and collecting their data.

At Loft, you’ll be given the autonomy and ownership to solve significant challenges, but with a close-knit and supportive team at your back. We believe that diversity and community are the foundation of an open culture. We are committed to hiring the best people regardless of background and make their time at Loft the most fulfilling period of their career.

We value kind, supportive and team-oriented collaborators. It is also crucial for us that you are a problem solver and a great communicator. As our team is international, you will need strong English skills to better collaborate, easily communicate complex ideas and convey important messages.

With 3 satellites on-orbit and a wave of exciting missions launching soon, we are scaling up quickly across our offices in San Francisco, CA | Golden, CO | and Toulouse, France.

*Research shows that while men apply to jobs where they meet an average of 60% of the criteria, women and other underrepresented people tend to only apply when they meet 100% of the qualifications. At Loft, we value respectful debate and people who aren’t afraid to challenge assumptions. We strongly encourage you to apply, even if you don’t check all the boxes.
