About the role
About Ultra
Ultra builds industrial AI robots that are working in the real world today. Our robots automate mission-critical warehouse labor end-to-end, starting with e-commerce order packaging. We deploy fast, learn from real production data, and iterate aggressively. We already have a quickly growing number of revenue-generating robots operating in U.S. warehouses, and are now scaling towards thousands of deployments over the next few years. Our mission is simple: build the world's most useful and deployable robot.
WARNING: Robotics is not for the faint of heart. There are no silver bullets here. It is tiresome, unglamorous, and at times brutal work. The only way out is through, and the only way through is treacherous and unknown. Success will require teamwork - so we are building a world-class team to tackle some of the most exciting problems out there. We hope you join us.
About the Role
We're looking for our first finance leader to build the function from scratch. Ultra has robots deployed in warehouses across the country, and our operational surface area is growing quickly. You'll own financial modeling and reporting that provides a clear view of business health. This is a build-it-yourself role — you'll stand up planning, reporting, and financial operations now, and hire a team underneath you as we scale.
Location: This is a on-site role based in New York City.
What You’ll Do
- Own the operating model - rolling 3-statement forecast, long-range plan, and the annual budget
- Build the revenue and capacity forecast off deployment economics: robots in the field, utilization, autonomy rates, and teleoperation
- Own unit economics per robot and per deployment, and make sure pricing decisions are grounded in them
- Run the 13-week cash forecast and manage runway against hiring and hardware spend
- Own monthly close (with our outside accountants), management reporting, and the monthly financial review with department leads
