About Us   Maybell Quantum is redefining the future of computing. As a venture-backed quantum hardware innovator experiencing rapid growth, we're building technology that will transform industries for decades to come. Quantum computers will be as transformative to the next 30 years as the internet was to the last 30—and our team is creating the hardware foundation to make this revolution possible.   Position Overview   We're seeking an experienced Head of Strategic Finance to join our leadership team. In this pivotal role, you'll drive financial strategy and operational excellence during a period of accelerated growth. You'll partner directly with executive leadership to shape financial decisions that impact the company's trajectory in the advanced hardware technology ecosystem.   Key Responsibilities     Strategic Leadership & FP&A   Own the financial roadmap: Translate ambitious growth objectives into comprehensive financial strategies and KPIs.   Build and maintain the company's core metrics framework—spanning revenue, gross margin, burn, and operational efficiency—ensuring leadership has a single source of truth for decision-making.    Develop and continuously refine sophisticated financial models (operating plans, rolling forecasts, scenario analyses, and customer- and unit-level P&Ls) that surface actionable insights, not just outputs.    Define and track leading indicators of business health, including pipeline coverage, contract velocity, margin progression by product line, technology readiness milestones, and the financial implications of R&D stage gates—connecting technical progress to capital deployment and revenue timing. Model and track non-dilutive funding (government grants, SBIR/STTR awards, strategic contracts) alongside equity capital, maintaining a consolidated view of total capital availability and deployment across funding sources.   Partner with the Exec Team: Serve as a strategic advisor to leadership, driving cross-functional initiatives and bringing a financial lens to product and go-to-market decisions.   Operations & Global Reporting   Partner with the Controller to ensure financial results are translated into clear insights on burn, runway, budget variance, and operating performance —with consistent reporting cadences that hold the organization accountable.   Analyze unit economics at the hardware level—tracking cost-per-system, manufacturing yield, and bill-of-materials trends—to build financial models that reflect the realities of a capital-intensive hardware business scaling through production ramp.   Establish variance analysis discipline across departments: identify drivers of deviation from plan, synthesize root causes, and drive corrective action with functional owners.    Build dashboards and reporting infrastructure that give the executive team real-time visibility into the metrics that matter most.   Growth & Stakeholder Management   Lead Investor Relations: Prepare compelling board materials and investor updates grounded in rigorous metric storytelling—translating operational performance into the financial narrative that supports future fundraising.    Define the KPI framework shared externally with investors, ensuring consistency between internal management metrics and what is communicated to the board and prospective capital partners. Scale the function. Build, mentor, and lead a high-performing internal finance team as the organization scales.       Qualifications   MBA, CFA,
