Job description

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.


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

  • Prepare board and investor materials, and lead diligence for our next fundraise

  • Partner with hardware and supply chain on BOM cost, vendor terms, inventory, and capex planning

  • Own financial operations — AP/AR, payroll, spend control, treasury, insurance, and tax

  • Hire and manage the finance team as we grow


Who You Are

  • 8+ years across FP&A, strategic finance, banking, PE, or consulting, with real operating time inside a company

  • You’ve built models, processes, and reporting from nothing

  • Advanced modeling and scenario work; you’re fast and accurate in a spreadsheet

  • You understand hardware businesses: COGS, margin structure, inventory, manufacturing, and how they behave differently from software

  • You can connect a financial result back to the operational driver that caused it, and explain it in a sentence

  • You thrive in a high-trust, high-autonomy environment. You don't need to be told what the top priority is


Bonus Points

  • Early-stage or venture-backed startup experience, ideally through a Series A+ scale-up

  • Robotics, autonomous systems, or advanced manufacturing background

  • Experience with RaaS, usage-based, or other non-seat-based revenue models

  • SQL, BI tools, or comfort pulling your own data instead of asking for it

  • Experience standing up or migrating an ERP

  • You’ve built AI/agent-assisted workflows into a finance function


Expected Compensation

$200,000 - $250,000/annual salary + equity + benefits


This compensation range may be inclusive of several career levels at Ultra and will be narrowed during the interview process based on the candidate’s experience and qualifications. Adjustments outside of this range may be considered for candidates whose qualifications significantly differ from those outlined in the job description.


Equal Employment Opportunity Statement

We are an Equal Opportunity Employer. We do not discriminate based on race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status. We are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive environment and encourage applicants from all backgrounds to apply.
