Senior Strategic Finance Manager
Blaize
Role Description We are looking for a sharp, hands-on Senior Manager of Strategic Finance to own financial planning, modeling, and forecasting at Blaize. Reporting directly to the Vice President – Strategic Finance, this is a high-impact individual contributor role at the center of how the company plans, prioritizes, and communicates financial performance. The ideal candidate brings expert-level FP&A modeling skills, genuine comfort with complex hardware/software business models, and the polish to present to CFO and Estaff audiences. This is a role for someone who loves being in the model — not just managing others who are. What you will do - Financial planning & modeling - Own the annual operating plan (AOP), rolling forecasts, and long-range plan (LRP) — building and maintaining models end-to-end. - Develop scenario and what-if models to support strategic decisions around investment allocation and business prioritization. - Partner with the Strategic Finance Director to translate company-level targets into functional budgets with clear accountability and measurable outcomes. - Drive monthly and quarterly business reviews with actionable variance commentary and forward-looking recommendations. - Corporate finance - Build and own capital allocation frameworks — evaluating investment opportunities, capex, and R&D spend against hurdle rates and expected ROI. - Develop business cases and financial models for major investment decisions, quantifying trade-offs, and payback across competing priorities. - Support capital structure and financing strategy, including liquidity planning, debt/equity considerations, and treasury management. - Partner with leadership on capital raises, investor materials, and the financial narrative behind funding and resource-allocation decisions. - Process, systems & public company reporting - Improve forecasting accuracy and planning cycle efficiency across the organization. - Enhance financial reporting infrastructure within NetSuite and connected BI tools. - Support SOX-compliant financial processes and controls appropriate to a publicly listed company. - Contribute to earnings preparation, investor relations support, and board-level financial materials as needed. What success looks like - In the first 90 days - You own the rolling forecast model and produce the next QBR package with minimal ramp time. - You have mapped all key business unit budgets and built working relationships with functional finance partners. - You have completed a diagnostic of current planning processes and identified two to three improvement opportunities. - By end of year one - AOP, LRP, and forecasting cadences run on time with improved accuracy and faster cycle times. - Executive leadership has clear, real-time visibility into KPIs, variance drivers, and resource trade-offs. - Gross Margin and EBITDA tracking is tied to specific operational initiatives with measurable outcomes. - Planning processes in NetSuite and connected BI tools are meaningfully more scalable and automated. Qualifications - 8–15 years of progressive experience in FP&A, strategic finance, or corporate finance, ideally in technology, SaaS, semiconductor, or AI companies. - Expert-level financial modeling: three-statement models, scenario analysis, and driver-based forecasting built and owned end-to-end. - Direct experience owning AOP, LRP, and rolling forecast processes across a full planning cycle. - Strong executive communication and storytelling — able to translate complex models into clear narratives for CFO and Estaff audiences. - Hands-on experience with NetSuite and at least one BI or analytics tool (Tableau, Power BI, Looker, or equivalent). - Comfort operating in a public company environment: SOX controls, earnings cycles, and investor relations support. Preferred - Investment banking, corporate development, or structured finance background is a strong plus — it signals the modeling rigor and analytical depth we are looking for. - MBA, CFA, CPA, or CMA. - Prior experience at a post-SPAC or newly public technology company. - Familiarity with semiconductor, edge AI, or hardware-plus-software hybrid business models. - Experience implementing or rolling out a dedicated FP&A planning tool (Anaplan, Pigment, Planful, Adaptive Insights, or equivalent). Who you are - Intellectually rigorous — you love building models, stress-testing assumptions, and finding the insight buried in the numbers. - Executive-ready communicator — equally comfortable presenting to the CFO or analysts. - Structured thinker who operates well in ambiguity and can set your own agenda without a lot of process handed to you. - Hands-on operator — you are not above building the model yourself, and you take pride in the craft. - Collaborative partner who builds trust quickly with functional leaders across Product, Engineering, Sales, and G&A. - Public-company savvy — you understand the cadence of earnings cycles, investor relations, and financial controls.
