What are the responsibilities and job description for the FP&A Lead position at Mariana Minerals?
About Mariana Minerals
Mariana Minerals is a software-first, vertically integrated minerals company on a mission to supply the critical minerals powering modern energy, AI, and defense technologies. We’re reimagining the minerals supply chain by combining deep industry expertise with advanced software, automation, and data-driven decision-making.
The Role
We are hiring a FP&A Lead to build and own the financial planning, forecasting, and performance intelligence that powers day-to-day and long-term decision-making across Mariana.
This is a hands-on, builder role. You will work directly with business and asset leaders to track spend, analyze performance versus plan, explain variances, and help teams course-correct in real time. A key part of this role is helping design and build systems—within MarianaOS and related data pipelines—that deliver near–real-time financial insight rather than relying solely on month-end closes.
This role is ideal for someone who is comfortable rolling up their sleeves: building models in Excel, working with APIs and data tools, visiting assets, and solving messy problems firsthand.
What You’ll Do
At Mariana Minerals, you’ll be part of a mission-driven team reshaping the way critical minerals are sourced and supplied globally. You’ll have the autonomy to make big decisions, the tools to innovate, and a culture that values ownership, smart automation, and collaboration.
Our culture is built on three principles:
Extreme Ownership – We take full responsibility for outcomes, relentlessly driving toward solutions.
Engineer Out Requirements, then Automate – We simplify, optimize, and then automate for scale.
Share Your Legos – We collaborate openly, share knowledge, and empower each other to build bigger, better solutions.
Join us as we build the future of responsible mineral sourcing and supply.
Mariana is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, or any other protected status.
Compensation Range: $130K - $170K
