Normal Computing | Incredible Opportunities

The Normal Team builds foundational software and hardware that help move technology forward - supporting the semiconductor industry, critical AI infrastructure, and the broader systems that power our world. We work as one team across New York, San Francisco, Copenhagen, and London.

Your Role in Our Mission:

We are looking for a Business Operations Finance Manager to help architect and maintain the financial operating system that powers Normal’s next phase of growth. This is not a back-office accounting role; it is a high-trust, high-context position that sits at the intersection of company priorities, engineering, and execution. In this role, you will support our leadership team in ensuring our capital is deployed with the same precision our engineers apply to silicon. You will guide our transition to a robust, global financial infrastructure, providing the leadership team with the real-time visibility required to make capital allocation, hiring, and operating decisions.

The Business Operations team is responsible for elevating the success of all teams at Normal by building and scaling the company’s operating infrastructure. We scale and optimize the company operating system to enable clear decision-making, drive execution rigor, manage and report our finances, build relationships with key strategic partners, and more. Our team combines high capability with low ego to go where we are needed to ensure Normal's long-term success. Business Operations team members combine depth in a specific area with the breadth required to drive complex, high-priority projects, partnering with Go-To-Market, People Operations, Product, and Engineering.

This is a demanding, high-visibility role that will offer you the opportunity to gain diverse operating experience in a fast-paced startup environment at the frontier of AI, while driving critical initiatives that shape Normal’s growth and success.

Responsibilities:

• Manage the end-to-end migration to a multi-entity, global finance and accounting system

• Streamline the monthly close process by refining revenue recognition, expense, and multi-entity consolidation rules

• Lead the annual and quarterly budgeting processes; translate complex technical roadmaps into actionable financial plans

• Manage international financial complexities in collaboration with our accounting partners, including transfer pricing, tax compliance, and intercompany agreements across US and international entities

• Act as the connective tissue between technical leads and the business, ensuring that headcount, budgets, and timelines matches our highest-priority mission objectives

• Partner with the Go-To-Market team to review contract terms, ensuring commercial agreements are structured for long-term scalability

• Prepare finance updates for Board of Directors meetings and support recurring finance reviews with the executive team

• Partner across business operations disciplines to identify opportunities for improvement and design, scope, and implement solutions

What Makes You A Great Fit:

• 5-8+ years of experience in corporate finance, strategic finance, investment banking, private equity, consulting, or other relevant experience

• Strong technical proficiency with financial modeling and ability to structure and process qualitative or quantitative data and draw insightful conclusions from it

• Working understanding of US and IFRS accounting terms, practices, and policies, sufficient to partner effectively with external accounting firms

• Ability to engage with product and engineering teams to understand the financial implications of hardware cycles and AI infrastructure

• Experience with finance and accounting systems such as Quickbooks, Sage Intacct, or Oracle NetSuite, particularly in the context of scaling systems as companies grow

• Experience managing contractors or relationships with vendors and comfort in negotiating contracting terms

• Strong track record of leading complex, cross-functional initiatives to success

• Ownership mindset and bias toward action; thrives in ambiguity and startup pace

• Excellent communicator with the ability to build trust across technical teams and senior leadership

Bonus Points For:

• Prior startup experience, particularly in a finance role during periods of rapid growth or global expansion

• Certified Public Accountant, Chartered Financial Analyst, or similar chartered certification

• Experience leveraging automation or AI tools to accelerate reporting, forecasting, or operational workflows
