Who we are

Rangeview is on a mission to build the foundry system that reindustrializes America. We exist to

break the legacy manufacturing trap by reinventing critical production for the twenty-first century.

Through advanced software, deep automation, breakthroughs in materials science, and modern

financing strategies, Rangeview rewrites both the cost curve and the power structure of making

metal parts. We are now building the production foundry that supplies gas turbine hot section

parts to defense, aerospace, and energy customers.

 Here is avideo where you can check out our team, office and what we are doing here at Rangeview, Inc. 

What's in it for you

As the Head of Finance, you will be Rangeview's first finance hire and the architect of how the

company funds itself. Foundries are capital intensive, and the winning move is not to fund them

with venture equity. Your central mandate is to bring in cheap capital to build factories against

long-term production contracts, and to build the finance function that lenders, customers, and

government capital offices will trust with those dollars.

This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who can operate at both the strategic and tactical

levels. You will personally run the model, the board materials, and the debt processes on day

one, and you will hire the controller and financial analyst who take the operating work off your

plate as the function scales. You will work directly with the CEO, the board, lenders, customers,

and government capital programs, including the Department of Defense Office of Strategic

Capital, to structure the financing behind each factory.

You will ultimately own the "how" behind Rangeview's ability to build production capacity faster

and cheaper than the incumbents.

What you'll do

• Serve as the leader accountable for the Finance organization and the primary point of

ownership for capital strategy, financial planning, accounting, and financial controls.

• Structure and close non-dilutive and low-cost capital for factory buildouts, including project

finance, asset-based and equipment financing, contract-backed facilities, and government

loan and loan-guarantee programs.

• Lead Rangeview's engagement with the Department of Defense Office of Strategic Capital

and related federal, state, and local capital programs, and build the financial credibility those

offices require.

• Convert customer production contracts into bankable collateral by working with business

development and legal on contract structure, take-or-pay terms, milestone schedules, and

offtake commitments.

• Build and maintain lender and capital-provider relationships across private credit, banks,

export credit agencies, equipment lessors, and strategic investors.

• Own the company's financial model, capital plan, and cash forecast, and keep them accurate

enough to make factory-level capital decisions against.

• Recruit, hire, and manage a controller and a financial analyst, and establish the

organizational structure to support multi-site manufacturing.

• Stand up the accounting function, monthly close, financial reporting, and internal controls,

and prepare the company for its first audit.

• Develop and justify departmental budgets, headcount plans, and capital-expenditure

proposals across the company in partnership with engineering, operations, and supply chain.

• Manage board and investor reporting, covenant compliance, and lender reporting.
• Lead pricing, contract economics, and margin analysis for production programs, and give the

executive team objective findings to make cross-functional decisions.

• Select and implement the finance and accounting systems required to scale across sites and

entities.

• Ensure compliance with applicable federal, state, contractual, and regulatory requirements,

including cost accounting and government contract requirements where applicable.

• Lead financial diligence for future equity rounds, strategic transactions, and

vertical-integration opportunities.

What you'll need

• Bachelor's degree in finance, economics, engineering, or a quantitative discipline.
• 3+ years of experience in investment banking at a bulge-bracket or top-tier boutique, with a

focus on industrials, aerospace and defense, leveraged finance, or M&A.;

• 3+ years of experience in private credit, direct lending, structured credit, or project finance,

including originating, underwriting, and closing transactions.

• Demonstrated experience taking a financing from term sheet to close, including negotiating

structure, covenants, and documentation.

• Expert financial modeling skills, including project-level and corporate models with debt sizing,

covenant testing, and scenario analysis.

• Strong understanding of how lenders underwrite manufacturing assets and contract-backed

cash flows.

• Working knowledge of GAAP and the ability to build and oversee an accounting function you

have not previously run.

• Ability to clearly and concisely communicate complex financial information to executive

leadership, boards, lenders, government officials, and cross-functional teams.

• Track record of sustained high output in demanding environments, and the appetite to keep

that pace at a company that is building factories.

• Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced environment with evolving systems, processes, and

organizational needs.

Preferred qualifications

• Experience with Department of Defense Office of Strategic Capital, Defense Production Act

Title III, Department of Energy Loan Programs Office, EXIM, SBA, or similar government

capital programs.

• Experience financing manufacturing, energy, infrastructure, or other hard-asset projects

against offtake or production contracts.

• Experience with equipment financing, sale-leaseback, and asset-based lending structures.
• Experience at a venture-backed company, or leading a financing process on the company

side of the table.

• Knowledge of government contract accounting, FAR and DFARS cost principles, and CAS.
• Experience selecting, implementing, or scaling ERP, accounting, and FP&A platforms.
• Experience hiring and managing accounting and finance staff.
• Familiarity with aerospace, defense, or industrial supply chains and customers.
• CFA, CPA, or MBA.

Additional requirements

• Must be able to work onsite in El Segundo, California.

business needs.
