Finance Manager - Product/Revenue & Margin
Key Skills for This Role
Full Job Posting
Responsibilities
- In partnership with the leadership team, develop the annual and long-range plan for revenue and margin.
- Own the product margin forecast and support Marketing and Sales in optimizing the revenue forecast to maximize gross profits.
- Proactively identify and resolve risks to revenue and margin projections by working with Department VPs.
- Partner with Accounting to reconcile actual to forecast costs and develop cost metrics for variable expenses.
- Lead the monthly budget-to-actual process for revenue and margin, and own the Quarterly Revised Forecast — using analytical techniques to support financial reporting and investor relations by explaining the drivers behind changes in the Company's results.
- Partner with Manufacturing and Operations to develop, evaluate, and prioritize business metrics (inventory management, product cost, ROI analysis), and support prioritization of yield improvement projects based on pareto analysis.
- Build financial models and business cases for R&D investment decisions — including ROI, payback period, and sensitivity analysis — to interpret business impact and inform management decisions; perform ad hoc margin analysis, ROI, and forecasts as needed.
- Build deep expertise in the company's products, customers, sales pipeline, and cost structure, becoming a trusted, go-to resource across the organization.
- Serve as the financial partner to Ambiq's Taiwan-based operations counterparts, including periodic travel to Taiwan and occasional late-night calls to align across time zones.
Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance (MBA a plus)
- 8+ years in a strategic finance role in FP&A or strategic finance supporting semiconductor manufacturing or operations specifically
- Demonstrated product cost/margin exposure in chip or hardware manufacturing
- Has built and owned forecast models end-to-end — not just contributed to someone else's — plus a track record of business cases and ROI analyses that influenced real business decisions
- Experience building R&D investment business cases, including ROI, payback period, and sensitivity analysis
- Strong business partnering skills — you're comfortable in a room with engineers, operators, and executives alike, and can translate financial complexity into a clear story
- Advanced Excel and financial modeling skills, verifiable via a modeling exercise or portfolio walkthrough
- A detail-oriented, analytical mindset paired with the initiative to drive things to closure in a fast-paced, high-volume environment
- If you want a finance role where your analysis directly shapes product and manufacturing strategy — not just tracks it — we'd like to talk.
- Must be currently authorized to work in the United States for any employer. We do not sponsor or take over sponsorship of employment visas (now or in the future) for this role.
