Who We Are Looking For
We are seeking a Finance Chief of Staff to help lead the finance agenda as Phoenix Tailings scales. Working closely with the company's senior finance leader, you will connect company strategy, financial planning, capital allocation, executive decisions, and the operating cadence of the finance organization.
The ideal candidate is a senior finance and strategy leader who can move between a board level question and the detailed work needed to resolve it. You will improve decision quality, create accountability, and take direct ownership of the finance priorities that matter most.
Key Responsibilities
Serve as a trusted partner to the senior finance leader on priorities, decisions, and follow through.
Own the finance leadership cadence, including planning, decision forums, key deliverables, and accountability.
Lead selected strategic finance work, including long range planning, capital allocation, scenario analysis, and financing preparation.
Coordinate board and investor materials with clear ownership, consistent data, and an executive point of view.
Drive complex projects that cross finance, manufacturing, commercial, supply chain, and the executive team.
Identify gaps in finance processes, information, or ownership and work with leaders to resolve them.
Support organization design, hiring priorities, and team development within finance.
Represent the finance leader in selected meetings and workstreams with appropriate judgment and authority.
Take direct ownership of urgent or sensitive work that does not fit cleanly within an existing finance team.
Qualifications
A typical candidate will have 7 to 12 years of progressive experience in strategic finance, investment banking, private equity, corporate strategy, or a CFO organization. Scope, judgment, and leadership matter more than a strict tenure requirement.
Strong command of financial planning, cash and capital allocation, financial statements, and scenario analysis.
Experience advising senior executives and preparing materials for boards or investors.
A record of leading complex work across functions and converting decisions into execution.
Exceptional written and verbal communication, with the ability to simplify complicated issues without losing substance.
High discretion, sound judgment, and confidence operating in sensitive situations.
Hands on leadership style and comfort working at both strategic and detailed levels.
Experience in advanced manufacturing, industrial technology, critical materials, or climate related industries is helpful.
What We Offer
This base salary range reflects our best estimate for this role. The final package may vary based on experience and qualifications and includes eligibility for a discretionary bonus and equity.
Base Salary Range: $180,000 to $230,000
Healthcare: 100% Medical, dental, and vision coverage for employee
Stock Options: Ownership in a fast-growing venture-backed company.
Time Off: Unlimited PTO.
Learning: Learning and development opportunities to grow your skills and career.
At Phoenix Tailings, we have an open culture that values learning, and we are looking to grow the team with enthusiastic individuals who share our vision of sustainable mining.
We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses and identifying potential inconsistencies or verification signals in application materials based on available information. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
