Head of Strategic Finance

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 - our rapidly developed humanoid platform being deployed in real industrial environments - and we’re growing the team to take it even further.

About the Role We're hiring a Strategic Finance lead to be the CFO's right hand on the decisions that shape Humanoid's path from pilots to mass production and, ultimately, the public markets. You'll own the models behind how we price, build, fund and grow, and turn them into clear recommendations for the leadership team and the board.

Reports to: Chief Financial Officer Location: London (One Triton Square, Regent's Place), with travel to our labs in Boston, San Diego and Vancouver and to customer and manufacturing sites.

What You'll Do Unit economics Build and own the unit economics model per robot: BOM, landed cost, deployment,

service, uptime and cost per effective hour versus human labour. Track the cost-down path across product generations and tie engineering and supply-

chain decisions to margin impact. Model customer payback and lifetime value by segment, use case and contract

structure. Pricing and packaging Design pricing for Robot-as-a-Service (RaaS) and outright purchase, including volume

tiers, multi-year step-downs, service levels and software add-ons. Build deal models for large enterprise contracts and support commercial teams

through negotiation. Partner with Legal and Accounting on revenue recognition implications of contract

structures (e.g. lease versus service). M&A and strategic transactions Run financial analysis on acquisitions, joint ventures, strategic partnerships and

supplier investments: valuation, synergies, structuring and accretion/dilution. Support diligence, build board materials and track post-deal performance against the

case. Debt and capital modeling Model venture debt, term loans, equipment and fleet financing, and working-capital

facilities, including covenants, amortisation and headroom. Build the integrated capital plan linking equity rounds, debt and runway, and support

fundraising with investor-grade models and data rooms. Budgeting and forecasting Own the annual budget and rolling forecast, with a driver-based, three-statement

model that ties production ramp, headcount, capex and cash. Run monthly business reviews with budget owners, explain variances and keep burn

and runway visible to leadership and the board. Lead scenario planning on production volumes, component costs, pricing and timing of

capital. Manufacturing finance Partner with Operations, Supply Chain and our contract manufacturers on capacity

plans, capex, inventory, standard costing and supplier terms. Build make-versus-buy, should-cost and capacity investment cases as we scale toward

mass production
