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 a video 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.
