Senior Financial Analyst

Here at Humanoid, we believe in a future where robots amplify human potential. That’s why we’ve set out on a mission to build the world’s most capable, commercially-scalable, and safe humanoid robots. We’re bringing that mission to life with HMND‑01 Alpha - our rapidly developed humanoid platform now running in real industrial pilots - and we’re growing the team to take it even further.

About the Role

The Senior Financial Analyst is a senior individual contributor who serves as a finance partner to the business. This hands-on role blends financial planning and analysis (FP&A) with a solid working knowledge of accounting, supporting Humanoid across budgeting, spend approvals, cash-flow monitoring, and scenario modelling in a multi-entity, multi-currency environment.

You will stay current on the rules and regulations that affect our business and proactively research opportunities — such as R&D tax credits, grants, and incentives — that can strengthen Humanoid and inform its decisions. Success requires strong analytical skills, sound business judgement, and the ability to turn financial detail into clear guidance that leaders can act on in a fast-moving startup.

 

What You'll Do

Planning, Budgeting & Approvals

• Budgeting & forecasting: Partner with teams across Humanoid to build, maintain, and update the annual budget and rolling forecasts, and track performance against plan.

• Spend approvals: Review and support the approval of purchases, expenses, and commitments, ensuring they align with budget, policy, and financial controls.

• Business partnering: Act as the go-to finance resource for leaders across the business, providing analysis and recommendations that guide day-to-day and strategic decisions.

Cash Flow & Financial Analysis

• Cash-flow monitoring: Monitor and forecast cash flow, working capital, and liquidity across entities, flagging risks and opportunities early.

• Scenario modelling: Build and maintain financial models and "what-if" scenarios to support planning, investment, and operational decisions — including hardware unit economics and scaling assumptions.

• Reporting & insight: Prepare and present financial results, variance analysis, and KPIs, translating the numbers into clear, actionable insight for leadership and the Board.

Compliance, Research & Business Support

• Accounting awareness: Apply a working familiarity with accounting rules (IFRS / GAAP) to ensure analysis, accruals, and reporting are sound and consistent with the books.

• Regulatory awareness: Stay current on rules, regulations, and reporting requirements across Humanoid's jurisdictions, and factor them into planning.

• Incentives research: Proactively research R&D tax credits, grants, and incentives relevant to robotics and advanced manufacturing, and quantify their impact for decision-makers — partnering with the tax and treasury teams.
