Fortera is transforming one of the world’s largest industries by reinventing how cement is made. Headquartered in Silicon Valley, Fortera has developed next-generation cement technology that delivers high performance while reducing CO₂ emissions by up to ~70%. By mineralizing CO₂ and turning it into a productive feedstock, Fortera converts emissions into a valuable building material, creating a more sustainable path for modern construction.

With our commercial ReCarb® plant operating in Redding, California, and a growing global project pipeline, Fortera is moving from first-of-a-kind deployment to scaled commercialization. Our technology is already being used in real-world infrastructure applications, bringing next-generation cement into use today while expanding toward broader adoption.

At Fortera, you’ll work alongside scientists, engineers, operators, and industry experts who are turning cutting-edge materials science into real-world impact. We’re looking for curious thinkers, builders, and problem-solvers who want to help tackle one of the biggest challenges facing our planet.

This is more than a job. It’s an opportunity to help shape the future of sustainable construction.

THE ROLE

We're hiring an FP&A Manager to help build the financial planning and reporting foundation Fortera will rely on as it scales from a single plant to a portfolio of them. You'll own the annual operating budget process, build the forecasts leadership relies on, and bring that same discipline to the capital budgets behind the plants we finance and build.

This is a small team, so you won't be maintaining someone else's process. You'll be setting up the systems, templates, models, and cadences that the rest of the business plans and reports around. You'll work with department heads to pull budgets together, track spend against plan with the Capital Projects team, and turn that analysis into monthly reporting packages, board materials, investor reporting, and lender reporting.

This role is a great fit for someone who enjoys that kind of environment. You know your craft, but you're also curious about the business beyond the numbers. You don't need everything handed to you. You see something that could work better and think, "I can fix that." You're comfortable asking questions, getting into the details, and building structure where it doesn't exist yet. Experience with capital-intensive or scaling businesses is a plus, but just as important is the ability to learn quickly, take ownership, and see your work make a real impact as Fortera grows.
