The position is responsible for building and maintaining the consolidated corporate financial model and for developing the FP&A infrastructure needed to support a fast-growing, multi-site manufacturing company. This role is primarily performed in an office environment, with 3–4 days per week onsite at Redwood Material’s San Francisco location.
