Quantum Space is seeking a Chief Financial Officer to lead the company’s financial strategy, capital formation, and long-range business planning. This executive will serve as a strategic partner to the CEO, owning our financial narrative, scaling our finance function, and unlocking the capital required to accelerate growth across commercial, civil, and defense markets.

Where You'll Make an Impact

  • Own the company’s capital formation strategy across the Series B and future equity and debt rounds.
    Build, deepen, and manage relationships with VCs, growth equity, PE, strategic investors, sovereign wealth funds, and crossover capital.
  • Develop and communicate compelling financial narratives that position Quantum Space as the category leader in in-space logistics and infrastructure.
  • Lead investor diligence, financial modeling, structuring, and closing processes in partnership with the CEO, COO, and legal advisors.
  • Build and scale the finance organization, implementing systems for forecasting, budgeting, accounting, FP&A, and financial controls.
  • Provide strategic financial leadership to guide corporate strategy, resource allocation, unit economics, and long-range planning.
  • Identify and secure capital partnerships that accelerate commercial, civil, and defense adoption.
  • Track space and defense capital flows, valuations, and investor trends to inform fundraising and strategic planning.

What It Takes

  • 10+ years of experience in finance leadership, capital formation, corporate development, venture capital, investment banking, or related fields.
  • Demonstrated track record of leading or directly contributing to 100M+ equity raises at Series B or later.
  • Deep investor network across space, dual-use, defense tech, and growth equity.
  • Prior executive finance or CFO-track experience in high-growth, hardware-intensive, deep-tech, aerospace, or defense organizations preferred.
  • Strong operator and investor hybrid background (for example VC or PE experience combined with space or defense operating role).
  • Exceptional communication, financial modeling, executive presence, and negotiation skills.

What You’ll Get

  • Work side-by-side with the CEO, board, and world-class technical leaders.
  • Direct exposure to top-tier investors shaping the future of aerospace and defense.
  • An ambitious and collaborative team tackling some of the most exciting challenges in aerospace.
  • Competitive salary, equity, and comprehensive benefits, including medical, dental, vision, generous leave, HSA, 401(k) matching, and equity sharing.
