Description
About Giga
Giga is building gigawatts of AI data centers to hasten a future of intelligence and abundance. We build data centers fast and at scale by combining the capabilities of an equipment supplier, engineering firm, general contractor, and real estate developer under one roof. Our team moves quickly and thinks practically. If you're ready to make an impact in an industry that matters, we're looking for people like you.
Why join Giga
- The Pace: We're building at a speed most companies talk about but never actually operate at. If you've been bored somewhere else, you won't be here.
- The Impact: Every person at Giga touches the work that matters. No layers, no waiting for approval chains. You'll see your fingerprints on what we ship.
- The Team: A team of operators defining the future of AI infrastructure. We recruit A-players from the most innovative companies in the world, and they choose Giga because the work here means more.
- The Moment: AI doesn't run without power, and that's us. Giga is the picks and shovels behind the AI revolution. This industry is about to explode, and you'll be in the room where it's already happening.
What you'll do
As Finance Manager, Product Finance, reporting to the Head of Finance, you'll own finance for Giga's manufacturing operations, procurement, and go-to-market functions. You'll build BOM-level cost visibility down to the component and sub-assembly, forecast COGS as production scales, and give leadership a real-time view into margin by product line. You will also own the critical pricing and lead times for our data center development. This is a build role for someone who wants deep ownership over both sides of the P&L that determine whether Giga's unit economics work at scale.
Where you'll work
We are an in-office culture — velocity matters when you're building physical infrastructure, and the best decisions happen in the room. This role is ideally based in one of our offices in Houston, San Francisco, or LA/Long Beach. That said, we will make exceptions for truly exceptional talent if you live outside one of our hubs. If you're the right person for this role, we'll have a conversation about what works.
Responsibilities
- Own BOM-level cost reporting across product lines, tracking material, labor, and overhead costs down to the component and sub-assembly level.
- Partner with procurement to forecast material costs, analyze supplier pricing trends, and evaluate cost-reduction and sourcing opportunities.
- Build and maintain standard costing models and cost roll-ups for new and existing products as the product line evolves.
- Own COGS forecasting for the manufacturing/infrastructure side of the business, including actual-to-forecast variance analysis by cost driver (material, labor, overhead).
- Own overhead allocation and capital expenditures for our physical facilities.
- Analyze cost variances and partner with manufacturing and operations leaders to identify root causes and corrective action.
- Support month-end close processes related to inventory valuation, cost accruals, and COGS reporting, partnering closely with accounting/controllership.
- Partner with the sales/RevOps team on HubSpot data hygiene and reporting so pipeline data flows cleanly into financial forecasts, dashboards, and quota.
- Build and maintain product-line level P&L views, including margin analysis by product, SKU, or program.
- Own FP&A for budgeting and forecasting for the product side of the business.
- Build dashboards providing real-time visibility into COGS, margin, and revenue operations metrics for leadership.
- Support pricing and quote-level margin analysis in partnership with sales and engineering.
- Present cost, margin, and revenue operations analysis at MBRs and QBRs.
- Identify and implement improvements to costing, procurement finance, and revenue reporting processes as the business scales.
Requirements
- 5+ years of experience in FP&A, cost accounting, product line finance, or a related finance function, with meaningful exposure to a manufacturing, hardware, or infrastructure environment.
- Direct experience with BOM-level costing, standard costing, or product costing in a manufacturing setting.
- Experience partnering with procurement or supply chain teams on material cost forecasting, supplier cost analysis, and working capital forecasting.
- Working knowledge of HubSpot or a comparable CRM platform, and experience turning CRM/pipeline data into financial reporting.
- Experience building dashboards and reporting infrastructure (Excel/Sheets, BI tools, or CRM-native reporting).
- Some exposure to internal controls or cost accounting controls (inventory controls, cost variance controls, audit readiness).
- Strong Excel/Google Sheets modeling skills; ability to build and own complex models independently.
- Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field.
Bonus Points
- Fluency in Mandarin (spoken and written) — preferred, to support engagement with China-based suppliers and manufacturing partners.
- Experience in energy, data centers, power infrastructure, hyperscaler, or capital equipment manufacturing.
- SQL or BI tool experience (Tableau, Power BI, Looker) for reporting automation.
- Experience with ERP systems (SAP, NetSuite, or similar) for BOM and costing data.
- Experience supporting a company through rapid scaling or a fundraise as an internal finance team member.
