About the Company

Armada is the hyperscaler for the edge, delivering modular AI infrastructure from first deployment to AI factory with speed, scale and sovereignty. Named one of Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies and to the CNBC Disruptor 50, Armada’s solutions are deployed in over 60 countries globally for organizations ranging from energy to defense. 

With nearly half a billion dollars in funding, Armada is backed by top investors such as Microsoft (M12), Founders Fund, and BlackRock, and has collaborations and partnerships including NVIDIA, Palantir and Dell Technologies. We are looking for the most brilliant minds in the world to join us. 

Working at Armada means taking ownership, driving autonomy, and delivering impact. You’ll tackle challenges that haven’t been solved before and help build something transformative from the ground up. What you do here will not only define your career but help further Armada’s mission to bridge the digital divide for customers around the world. 


About the Role  

This is not a traditional Investor Relations role.
 
We are looking for a financing operator - someone who can run complex growth-stage capital raises end-to-end, build institutional-grade financial narratives, and operate credibly with sophisticated investors across infrastructure, AI, defense, and sovereign capital markets.
 
You will work directly with the COO and executive leadership team as the internal lead for financing, strategic finance initiatives, and investor engagement. When a financing process is live, you become the operational quarterback for the company.
 
This role sits at the intersection of:
  • Strategic Finance 
  • Capital Markets 
  • Corporate Development 
  • Investor Communications 
  • Executive Operations 

Location. This role is hybrid and based in either our San Francisco Presidio office or our Bellevue, Washington office.


Main responsibilities: 

Lead Financing Processes
  • Lead equity and strategic financing processes end-to-end 
  • Own investor diligence, data rooms, timelines, and financing workflows 
  • Coordinate cross-functional execution across finance, legal, tax, operations, and technical teams 
  • Manage investors, bankers, counsel, and external advisors throughout live processes 
  • Maintain momentum across multiple stakeholders and reduce executive process overhead 
Strategic Finance, Modeling, and Investor Outreach
  • Build and maintain operating models, forecasts, and scenario analyses 
  • Understand and articulate infrastructure economics including GPU utilization, capex structures, deployment costs, and margin scaling 
  • Support fundraising, valuation, liquidity planning, and long-range capital strategy 
  • Defend financial assumptions and operating metrics with institutional-grade rigor 
  • Translate Armada’s business into a compelling institutional investment thesis 
  • Synthesize AI infrastructure, sovereign AI, edge compute, ruggedized deployments, and software orchestration into investor-ready materials 
  • Tailor messaging for infrastructure funds, sovereign investors, crossover funds, strategics, and family offices 
  • Develop crisp decks, memos, FAQs, and investor updates that anticipate hard questions 
Operate with Executive Presence
  • Engage directly with sophisticated investors and strategic stakeholders 
  • Lead financing and diligence discussions independently when needed 
  • Present financial and operational insights clearly under pressure 
  • Operate as a trusted strategic partner to the COO and executive leadership team 
  • Bring a high-ownership, low-ego mentality — no “IR-ish” polish, just strong judgment and execution 

Qualifications: 

  • 5+ years of experience across investment banking, strategic finance, corporate development, growth equity, or related fields 
  • Prior experience at a top-tier investment bank, private equity / growth equity firm, or high-growth technology company 
  • Strong financial modeling, valuation, and analytical capabilities 
  • Experience supporting or executing growth-stage financing transactions 
  • Ability to understand and communicate complex infrastructure and technology business models 
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills 
  • High degree of ownership, operational rigor, and attention to detail 
  • Comfortable operating in fast-moving, ambiguous environments

Preferred Qualifications: 

  • Prior experience at a relevant AI infrastructure or high-growth infrastructure businesses 
  • Experience in AI infrastructure, cloud infrastructure, defense technology, data centers, compute platforms, or adjacent sectors
  • Exposure to sovereign investors, infrastructure funds, or late-stage crossover financings 
  • Experience managing diligence-intensive financing processes 
  • MBA, CFA, or advanced finance/accounting background is a plus
  • Experience leading M&A processes and cross-border transactions a plus

Armada Compensation & Benefits Highlights

The following summarizes recurring compensation and benefits themes identified from responses generated by popular LLMs to common candidate questions about Armada and has not been reviewed or approved by Armada.

  • Healthcare Strength Health coverage is positioned as comprehensive for employees and families, with additional 24/7 mental-health support. Some postings also describe medical/dental/vision as subsidized, which can strengthen the overall healthcare value proposition.
  • Leave & Time Off Breadth Time-off policy is described as flexible/unlimited PTO, and some postings cite roughly 14–15 paid company holidays. This combination signals above-minimum time-away coverage for many startup roles, if usage is supported in practice.
  • Equity Value & Accessibility Compensation is repeatedly framed as a mix of competitive salary plus equity participation, and multiple role descriptions explicitly include equity alongside cash. That structure can increase perceived total rewards for candidates who value ownership upside.
