Job description

You'll report directly to the Board and work closely with executive leadership on the strategic decisions that will define our growth trajectory.

You'll start as a team of one, which means real ownership and real impact from day one. For the right person, this role has a clear path to CFO as the company scales.

  • Lead preparation and submission of federal and provincial government funding applications including programs such as, FedDev Ontario, NRC IRAP, Eastern Ontario Development Fund, SR&ED, NSERC and Innovation Canada programs.
  • Responsibilities include, drafting funding applications, building financial projections and program budgets, preparing financial documentation and cost models and supporting funding compliance and reporting.

Investor Readiness & Series A Financing
Support the company’s capital raising strategy by:
  • Building detailed financial models and projections
  • Developing unit economics and production cost models
  • Preparing financial sections of the Series A investor deck
  • Supporting investor due diligence processes
  • Preparing financial documentation for investor data rooms

Manufacturing & Operational Finance
Develop financial systems to support production scale-up including:
  • Product cost modeling
  • Bill of materials (BOM) costing
  • Manufacturing margin analysis
  • Inventory and production cost tracking
  • Capital expenditure planning for manufacturing equipment
  • Financial planning for scaling production capacity
  • Supply chain financial analysis

Strategic Financial Planning
  • Develop long-term financial plans and budgets aligned with company growth objectives.
  • Provide financial insights to support strategic decision-making.
  • Prepare financial materials for Board meetings.
  • Identify opportunities to optimize capital efficiency and funding strategies.

Key Qualifications
  • 8–12+ years of progressive finance and accounting experience
  • Experience building financial systems and processes in a startup or growth-stage company
  • Experience implementing ERP systems (NetSuite preferred)
  • Strong financial modeling and forecasting expertise
  • Experience preparing materials for investors or venture financing
  • Experience managing full financial operations
  • Experience with government funding programs (FedDev Ontario, NRC IRAP, SR&ED, etc.)
  • Experience in manufacturing, robotics, aerospace, or hardware companies
