About Us

Maybell Quantum is redefining the future of computing. As a venture-backed quantum hardware innovator experiencing rapid growth, we are building technology that will transform industries for decades to come. Quantum computers will be as transformative to the next 30 years as the internet was to the last 30—and our team is creating the hardware foundation that will make this revolution possible.

Position Overview

Maybell Quantum is seeking a Vice President of Finance to lead the company’s finance organization through its next stage of growth. As a member of the executive leadership team, you will own Maybell’s financial strategy, planning, operational finance, capital strategy, and financial reporting.

This role requires more than traditional financial oversight. You will help determine where and how Maybell deploys capital, build the financial infrastructure required to scale a complex hardware manufacturing business, and provide the analysis and judgment needed to guide major company decisions.

The Controller will report to the Vice President of Finance and will oversee accounting operations, close, compliance, and financial controls. The Vice President of Finance will ensure those capabilities are integrated with forward-looking planning, manufacturing economics, executive decision-making, and long-term company strategy.

The ideal candidate has helped scale a venture-backed startup or high-growth manufacturing organization and understands the financial realities of hardware development, production ramps, long sales cycles, and capital-intensive growth.

Key Responsibilities

• Identify financial and operational risks early and recommend clear, practical courses of action.
• Build and lead a finance organization capable of supporting Maybell as it scales.
• Manage and develop the Controller, establishing clear ownership across strategic finance, accounting, reporting, compliance, and financial operations.

Financial Planning and Analysis

• Own the annual operating plan, long-range plan, rolling forecasts, scenario analyses, and company-wide budgeting process.
• Develop financial models that connect revenue, backlog, production capacity, headcount, capital expenditures, R&D milestones, and cash requirements.
• Establish the company’s core metrics framework across revenue, gross margin, burn, runway, working capital, operational efficiency, and capital deployment.
• Define and monitor leading indicators of business performanc
