Finance & Operations Associate

About Flexion:

In just months, we’ve gone from our first line of code to deploying real humanoid capabilities.

The Role:

This is a high-impact, hands-on role where you'll touch everything from fundraising to vendor management to headcount planning.

Key Responsibilities:

• Financial planning & analysis: Build and maintain multi-year financial models, monthly budget vs. actual reporting, burn rate tracking, and cash flow forecasts that inform strategic decision-making
• Cost control & budget management: Monitor spending across departments, identify cost optimization opportunities, track budget variances, and partner with teams to keep expenditures aligned with plan
• Fundraising support: Prepare investor materials including financial models, data rooms, and board presentations; support the CFO/leadership through Series B fundraising process
• Operational process design: Establish and scale core financial operations including AP/AR, monthly close, expense management, vendor negotiations, and compliance workflows for CH and US entities
• Inventory & order tracking: Manage procurement workflows for robots, hardware, and equipment; track orders, deliveries, and inventory levels; coordinate with suppliers and internal teams to ensure timely availability of critical resources
• Legal operations: Manage day-to-day legal workflows including NDA review and execution, contract tracking, vendor agreement coordination, and liaison with external legal counsel for routine matters
• Business partnership: Work cross-functionally with Product, Operations, and Leadership to provide insights, identify opportunities, and support our expansion

• 1-3 years of experience in finance, FP&A, investment banking, consulting, or startup operations with demonstrated ownership of end-to-end projects, OR a relevant Master's degree (Finance, Business, Economics, Engineering, Management) with relevant internship/project experience
• Advanced Excel proficiency: Can build driver-based financial models from scratch with proper architecture (clear inputs/calculations separation, formula-driven logic, scenario capability)
• Operational mindset: You build, implement, and improve processes. You've designed workflows, set up systems, or scaled operations in previous roles
• Autonomy & judgment: You thrive in ambiguity, make sound decisions with incomplete information, and know when to decide independently vs. escalate. You identify problems before they're assigned to you
• Diligence: You maintain accurate records, and ensure consistency in financial reporting, contract documentation, and inventory tracking
• Startup DNA: You're energized (not exhausted) by wearing multiple hats, moving fast, and doing unglamorous work. You prioritize impact over perfection and are excited by the prospect of building infrastructure from scratch
• Communication skills: You can explain financial concepts to non-finance stakeholders, present confidently to executives, and build relationships across functions. Fluent English is a must; German is a plus

Nice to have:

• Experience supporting fundraising processes (data rooms, investor models, due diligence)
• Familiarity with multi-entity operations (CH/US) and cross-border finance
• Exposure to contract management, legal operations, or procurement
• Experience with inventory management, supply chain, or hardware operations
• Startup finance stack experience
• Experience with data analysis tools
• Background or strong interest in robotics, hardware, or deep tech
• Prior startup or high-growth company experience

• Competitive compensation package
• A front-row seat at one of Europe’s most ambitious robotics companies
• An energetic, collaborative team with a bias for action
