Strategic Finance Manager

Our Mission Reflection’s mission is to build open superintelligence and make it accessible to all . We’re developing open weight models for individuals, agents, enterprises, and even nation states. Our team of AI researchers and company builders come from DeepMind, OpenAI, Google Brain, Meta, Character.AI, Anthropic and beyond. Role Overview As a Strategic Finance Manager, you'll help build the core muscles of our capital allocation, forecasting, and planning processes. You'll work across the business — spanning GTM, compute, R&D, and corporate finance — building models and analyses that inform how we allocate resources, evaluate opportunities, and plan for growth. The work will vary depending on where you focus, but the common thread is connecting ground-level business activity to rigorous financial thinking. What You'll Do Build financial models across a range of contexts — deals and partnerships, product and channel economics, cost structures, and investment decisions Support the corporate financial model with bottoms-up inputs, and maintain that connection as the underlying business evolves Partner cross-functionally — with sales, GTM, engineering, research, and finance leadership — to translate business activity into financial frameworks Develop cost and investment models (compute, infrastructure, headcount, R&D) to inform resource planning and tradeoff decisions Identify financial risks and opportunities early, and help structure decisions that balance growth with returns Improve the templates, assumptions libraries, and processes used across the team What We're Looking For Strong financial modeling skills – build clean, auditable models from scratch Experience with deal economics, revenue modeling, or commercial finance at a technology company Comfort with cost-side modeling: you understand how compute, headcount, and infrastructure costs behave Ability to work cross-functionally with sales, legal, and product without losing rigor Detail-oriented and intellectually curious Effective communicator; ability to explain model assumptions to non-finance stakeholders Investment banking, consulting, or FP&A backgrounds What We Offer: We believe that to build superintelligence that is truly open, you need to start at the foundation.
