Position Summary

At WATT Fuel Cell, we're not looking for someone who simply wants to sit behind a spreadsheet all day. We're looking for an ambitious, analytically minded professional who wants to understand how a business operates, how financial decisions are made, and how strategy turns into execution.

WATT is a growing clean-energy technology company developing innovative fuel cell systems. As we continue to scale, we're seeking a Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) Analyst to work closely with our finance leadership team and support financial planning, operational analytics, strategic decision-making, and company-wide business initiatives.

We're looking for someone who brings a strong financial foundation, but also the curiosity, initiative, and ambition to do more.

The ideal candidate has *2–5 years of relevant experience*, enjoys digging into data, understands financial fundamentals, and wants to take ownership of meaningful projects.

If you're someone who enjoys understanding the bigger picture, solving problems, and seeing how your work directly influences business decisions, we'd love to hear from you.

Analyze production costs, labor and material usage, inventory, purchasing commitments, manufacturing efficiencies, and capital investments.
Develop dashboards, reports, and key performance indicators (KPIs) to improve visibility into company performance.
Identify trends, investigate discrepancies, and recommend opportunities for operational and financial improvement.
Help strengthen financial accountability by ensuring business decisions are supported by accurate, timely data.

*Corporate Strategy & Business Planning*

Support financial analysis related to strategic initiatives, business growth, customer programs, and capital investments.
Assist with financial projections, scenario modeling, and long-term planning.
Research industry developments, financial markets, and business opportunities relevant to WATT's growth.

Take ownership of assigned projects and communicate findings or recommendations to leadership.
