About This Role

This is an evergreen requisition. Bloom Energy uses this posting to build a pipeline of qualified candidates for current and future FP&A openings across the Finance organization — including Corporate FP&A, Commercial Finance, Supply Chain Finance, Manufacturing Finance, and other functional areas. Specific role, team, and partner organization will be discussed during the interview process based on business need and candidate fit.

Role Summary

Bloom Energy is building its pipeline of high-performing FP&A Managers. In this role, you will serve as a finance partner to a business or functional leader — driving the planning, forecasting, reporting, and analytics that translate strategy into financial outcomes. You will own a defined scope of P&L or functional spend, manage the monthly and quarterly cadence, and partner with the business on the decisions that drive performance.

Depending on placement, you may support corporate FP&A and consolidations, commercial finance and deal analytics, supply chain and sourcing economics, manufacturing and plant performance, or another functional area. Across all of these, the role requires strong financial acumen, sharp analytical skills, and the ability to influence cross-functional partners without authority.

Location

This role is based in San Jose, CA, and Bloom has a 5-day in-office culture. Some travel may be required depending on the specific role.

Responsibilities

• Own the financial planning, forecasting, and reporting cycles for a defined scope — including the annual operating plan, quarterly forecasts, monthly outlooks, and variance analysis.
• Serve as a primary finance partner to a business or functional leader; translate operational decisions into financial outcomes and surface insights that drive performance.
• Build and maintain financial models that support business decisions, scenario analysis, and long-range planning.
• Deliver standard, repeatable analytics and operating mechanisms (monthly operating reviews, quarterly business reviews) that give leadership clear visibility into performance.
• Partner with the Controller’s organization on close, accruals, and SOX compliance to ensure financial data integrity.
• Identify and lead process improvement projects — standardize, simplify, and automate to reduce manual workload and improve cycle time.
• Lead or mentor junior FP&A analysts; build the analytical rigor and operating cadence of the team.
• Support special projects, business cases, and ad-hoc analyses for senior leadership.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in finance, Accounting, Economics, Business, Engineering, or a related field.
• Minimum of 6 years of progressive finance experience, including direct FP&A, corporate finance, or investment banking / equity research.
• Strong financial modeling skills and command of public-company financial concepts.
• Demonstrated ability to manage forecasting cycles, variance analysis, and management reporting.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with experience using enterprise systems and BI tools (e.g., SAP, Oracle, Anaplan, Hyperion, Power BI, Tableau).
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate financial concepts for non-finance partners.
• Strong attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple deadlines in a fast-paced environment.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in energy, power generation, capital equipment, electric vehicles, semiconductors, or another capital-intensive hardware business.
• Experience supporting a specific function — commercial / sales finance, supply chain or sourcing finance, manufacturing or operations finance, or corporate FP&A and consolidations.
• Experience at a public company, including familiarity with the earnings cycle and external reporting cadence.
• MBA, CPA, CFA, or CMA.
