at Omnidian

🏢 About Omnidian

Omnidian is at the forefront of the clean energy transition, providing 24/7 solar system monitoring and advanced diagnostics to ensure sustainable energy systems perform optimally. Working here means joining a mission-driven team that combines cutting-edge technology with environmental impact, offering a unique opportunity to drive financial strategy in a rapidly growing industry.

About This Role

As the Finance Manager for Corporate FP&A, you will own and scale the company’s core financial model, lead forecasting across all P&L lines, and build scenario models for strategic decisions. Your work will directly influence high-stakes initiatives and provide critical insights to executive leadership and the board, making this a high-impact role in the company’s growth.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might start by reviewing the latest sales data from Salesforce to update the monthly forecast, followed by a cross-functional meeting with operations to align on COGS projections. After lunch, you could dive into building a scenario model for a potential partnership, then prepare a board-ready reporting package summarizing key financial risks and opportunities.

🎯 Who Omnidian Is Looking For

  • A seasoned FP&A professional with 8-12+ years of progressive experience, ideally in a high-growth or renewable energy company, who has built and maintained complex three-statement models.
  • An expert in full P&L management and corporate planning, with a proven track record of delivering accurate forecasts and actionable insights to senior leadership.
  • A cross-functional collaborator who thrives in a fast-paced environment and can advise executives on strategic initiatives with confidence and clarity.
  • Deeply proficient in NetSuite and Salesforce, with the ability to leverage these tools for data-driven modeling and reporting.

📝 Tips for Applying to Omnidian

1

Tailor your resume to highlight specific examples of building and scaling corporate financial models, especially three-statement models, and quantify the impact (e.g., improved forecast accuracy by 20%).

Showcase your ability to work cross-functionally by including a bullet point about partnering with operations or sales teams to align financial forecasts with business drivers.

4

Research Omnidian’s solar monitoring technology and recent news (e.g., partnerships, funding rounds) to demonstrate genuine interest in the company’s mission during the application.

5

Prepare a brief portfolio or case study of a complex financial model you’ve built, ready to share if asked during the interview process.

🔍 Research Before Applying

To stand out, make sure you've researched:

  • Read about Omnidian’s specific solar monitoring technology and how it differentiates from competitors like SunPower or Tesla Solar.

  • Understand the renewable energy industry’s financial drivers, such as ITC (Investment Tax Credit) policies and solar panel pricing trends.
  • Look up Omnidian’s leadership team on LinkedIn to understand their backgrounds and the company culture.

💬 Prepare for These Interview Topics

Based on this role, you may be asked about:

1 Walk me through how you would build a scenario model for a new solar monitoring service launch, including key assumptions and sensitivity analysis.
2 Describe a time you had to present complex financial data to a non-financial executive; how did you ensure clarity and drive action?
3 How do you approach forecasting in a volatile industry like renewable energy? What external factors would you monitor?

⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Submitting a generic cover letter that doesn’t mention renewable energy or Omnidian’s specific mission—this shows lack of genuine interest.
  • Overlooking the requirement for NetSuite and Salesforce proficiency; failing to highlight these skills can make you seem underqualified.
  • Focusing only on technical modeling skills without demonstrating strategic thinking or cross-functional collaboration—this role requires both.
