About MAKO
MAKO is putting shark skin on planes to save fuel and cut emissions. Aviation burns roughly 100 billion gallons of fuel a year. Our riblet film makes aircraft slip through the air more cleanly, and every percent of drag we remove is fuel that never gets burned and CO2 that never gets emitted.
About the Role
Turning a great technology into a real business takes funding, and a clear view of where it's going. You'll help build MAKO's forward-looking view of our finances: budgets, forecasting, and modelling, and help teams across the business understand the financial impact of the decisions they're making. You'll report to our Senior Finance Manager.
What You Will Do
- Manage the grant portfolio — monitor spend and budget-to-actuals, build budgets for new grant projects, contribute to grant reporting.
- Partner with teams on annual and quarterly budgets, then run monthly budget-to-actual analysis.
- Prepare monthly cash flow forecasts and grow into broader forecasting and planning as the role develops.
- Use modelling and scenario analysis to help leadership choose between real options, with real numbers behind them.
- Improve reporting, dashboards, planning tools, and finance processes.
About You
- Qualified Chartered Accountant with experience in financial analysis, FP&A, management accounting, or commercial finance.
- Advanced Excel skills, excellent attention to detail, and strong time management and organisational skills.
- Big-4, government grants, or R&D funding experience is a bonus, not essential.
Why Join MAKO
Aviation is one of the hardest to abate industries, and its share of global emissions is only growing. Join our mission to improve the efficiency of the global fleet and save millions of tonnes of CO2 every year. You'll be exposed to expertise and developments in materials, photolithography, fluid dynamics, and scale manufacturing.
