Phoenix Tailings is a rapidly growing clean mining and metals production startup dedicated to sustainable and economic critical metals production. The company's mission is to be the world's first fully clean mining and metals production company, producing the resources needed for the next generation of the economy.
You will serve as Finance Chief of Staff, working closely with the company's senior finance leader to connect company strategy, financial planning, capital allocation, executive decisions, and the operating cadence of the finance organization. You will move fluidly between board-level strategic questions and the detailed work needed to resolve them, improving decision quality, creating accountability, and taking direct ownership of finance priorities that matter most.
Key responsibilities include:
- 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:
- 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 strict tenure)
- 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
- Record of leading complex work across functions and converting decisions into execution
- Exceptional written and verbal communication, with 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
