Finance and Operations Associate

POSITION TITLE: Finance & Production Operations Associate

TLDR: San Diego-based global leader company creating proprietary tech for elite motorsports, aviation, and aerospace customers. We’re seeking a Finance & Operations Associate. You'll own the day-to-day financial and production operations for a small, fast-moving team. ~$80K base bonus, fully covered benefits.

POSITION DETAILS:

This isn't your typical finance role, and this isn't your typical company… Our client is an established 25 year old, agile and highly profitable global leader developing specialized and patented motor train technologies for the high-performance automotive, aerospace, and aviation industries.

Every system they ship ends up in some of the most demanding environments on the planet. Their San Diego team is small, tight, and growing, and we're looking for someone who wants to be part of something that truly matters.

Join our client’s extraordinary team as they revolutionize the automotive industry with cutting-edge systems!

What You'll Actually Be Doing:

This role sits at the intersection of accounting, operations, and supply chain. It's hands-on, high-variety, and requires someone who genuinely likes keeping the machine running. You'll own the day-to-day financial operations, support purchasing and inventory, and pitch in across logistics and admin when it counts.

On any given week, that looks like:

• Coding and reconciling invoices, credit card receipts, and employee timesheets in QuickBooks
• Processing expense reports and supporting monthly/annual close with our external accountant
• Creating purchase orders and sourcing vendors through our ERP system
• Supporting inventory planning, physical counts, and supply chain tracking
• Handling international shipment documentation and customs coordination
• Backing up teammates across logistics and production scheduling when needed
• Helping maintain the employee handbook, manage company events, and keep internal operations running smoothly

Why This Is An Awesome Opportunity

Their team regularly travels to elite global racing events, so this isn't a desk-only job. And for someone who has a passion or interest in the elite racing world, this industry exposure is genuinely unlike anything else.

Small company. Big world. You'll wear a lot of hats, interact directly with leadership, and have real ownership over your work. Extraordinary growth opportunities and stability and not a place that buries good people in bureaucracy.

QUALIFICATIONS:

• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Business, Accounting, or related field
• 3-7 years of professional experience that includes real accounting, financial analysis, and/or bookkeeping work
• 2 years of general operational work across multiple departments
• Strong QuickBooks skills (or similar software), Excel and Microsoft Office proficiency required.
• ERP experience a plus (SAP, Dynamics 365, or similar)
• PERSONALITY TRAITS: Someone who's detail-obsessed, follows through without being reminded, and can juggle multiple priorities, herd cats, and proactively problem solve, without losing their mind or cool.

LOCATION: On-site, full-time in San Diego. Flexibility for personal responsibilities and occasions.

PERKS: Benefits include fully covered and comprehensive medical benefits plans, dental, 401(k) with match, FSA, annual performance bonus, PTO (3 weeks paid vacation, sick time, and holidays); Opportunity to travel to watch and interact with Formula 1 and other elite racing events.
