  About the Role   
This is not a traditional Investor Relations role.
 
We are looking for a financing operator - someone who can run complex growth-stage capital raises end-to-end, build institutional-grade financial narratives, and operate credibly with sophisticated investors across infrastructure, AI, defense, and sovereign capital markets.
 
You will work directly with the COO and executive leadership team as the internal lead for financing, strategic finance initiatives, and investor engagement. When a financing process is live, you become the operational quarterback for the company.
 
This role sits at the intersection of:


•
Strategic Finance 


•
Capital Markets 


•
Corporate Development 


•
Investor Communications 


•
Executive Operations 


 

Location. This role is hybrid and based in either our San Francisco Presidio office or our Bellevue, Washington office.

Synthesize AI infrastructure, sovereign AI, edge compute, ruggedized deployments, and software orchestration into investor-ready materials 


•
Tailor messaging for infrastructure funds, sovereign investors, crossover funds, strategics, and family offices 


•
Develop crisp decks, memos, FAQs, and investor updates that anticipate hard questions 


Operate with Executive Presence


•
Engage directly with sophisticated investors and strategic stakeholders 


•
Lead financing and diligence discussions independently when needed 


•
Present financial and operational insights clearly under pressure 


•
Operate as a trusted strategic partner to the COO and executive leadership team 


•
Bring a high-ownership, low-ego mentality — no “IR-ish” polish, just strong judgment and execution 


 
Qualifications:  


•
5+ years of experience across investment banking, strategic finance, corporate development, growth equity, or related fields 


•
Prior experience at a top-tier investment bank, private equity / growth equity firm, or high-growth technology company

Strong financial modeling, valuation, and analytical capabilities

Experience supporting or executing growth-stage financing transactions

Excellent written and verbal communication skills

High degree of ownership, operational rigor, and attention to detail
