Work on Something that Matters
The climate and energy transition is producing some of the most ambitious companies in the world. Ventures turning breakthrough science into deployable technology across energy, materials, transport, industry, and agriculture, with the potential to reshape the global economy for the better. To succeed on the journey to scale, these founders need a financial partner who can match their speed, ambition, and horsepower. That’s our work at Planetary Scale.
We serve as the senior financial leader for each of our clients— often one of the founder’s closest thought partners on everything from business model strategy to fundraising to board engagement. We’ve helped our clients raise hundreds of millions in venture funding and navigate the hardest decisions on their path to scale. That’s a responsibility we take seriously, and enjoy immensely.
How This is Different
Trusted by the best
Steep curve,
supportive team
The standard here is high. We expect you to bring real capability on day one, and to be ready for a steep learning curve that never really flattens out. You’ll be supported along the way by a close-knit and collaborative team.
Range over repetition
Working with high-growth startups means priorities shift on a weekly basis. Working across multiple companies in different verticals requires comfort switching domains frequently. Everything we do is analytical and rigorous, but the context and challenges evolve fast.
A seat at the table
We have a seat at the table for our clients’ most important decisions — not as outside advisors, but as embedded members of their team. Every company is different, but the pattern recognition compounds fast.
Fully remote, equity exposure, performance-based bonuses, 401K with match, and generous PTO.
Who Thrives Here
Over time, we’ve learned that the people who do best here have a few things in common:
Think deeply before building. When a problem lands in their inbox, their instinct is to understand what’s really being asked before they start producing. They break something messy and ambiguous into parts they can work through systematically, and the output is better as a result.
Read context well. Every founder operates differently, every company is at a different stage, and the right answer always depends on signals you can’t get from a spreadsheet. The same rigor applied without that awareness can miss the mark.
Never stop sharpening. Every new domain, every unfamiliar deal structure, every piece of feedback is a chance to get better. They catch their own mistakes because they care about the answer being correct, not just complete. If that sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you.
