About Proper Voltage:

Proper Voltage is building the connective tissue of the energy transition. Our Battery Operating System (bOS) lets any battery chemistry work with any product, bridging the gap between next-generation materials and the hardware that needs them. From defense platforms to data centers to robotics, we are turning complex power problems into plug-and-play solutions.

We move fast, think creatively, and value people who take ownership from day one.

Job Overview:

We are looking for a hands-on operator who can think strategically and execute decisively. You will work directly with the COO and CEO on projects that shape how we grow, sell, and communicate our story.

This is not a narrow finance or ops role. You will connect dots across business development, investor relations, and internal operations to help the company scale smoothly. One week you might refine pricing models and investor materials. The next, you could sit in on customer or partner calls, translate insights into action items, and help align engineering, operations, and sales.

Responsibilities

- Develop clear, data-backed materials for leadership, investors, and customers

- Build and refine models for pricing, margin, and working capital planning

- Support board and investor presentations, fundraising preparation, and due diligence requests

- Help structure and coordinate the commercial process from initial call through delivery

- Sit in on key customer, integrator, and partner calls to capture actions and improve follow-up

- Support creation of sales decks, quotes, and proposals that reflect Proper Voltage’s technical and financial value

- Track and visualize sales pipeline data to surface trends, blockers, and opportunities

- Collaborate with engineering and operations to improve handoffs from prototype to production

- Improve reporting and communication tools so leadership has clear visibility into company performance

- Identify new market or partnership opportunities through targeted research on sectors such as defense, robotics, and data centers

- Translate complex technical or financial topics into simple, high-impact narratives for external audiences

- Recognize issues early, take initiative, and drive projects to completion

- Work closely with executives and engineers to move fast and maintain precision

- Deliver work that is accurate, organized, and presentation-ready under tight timelines

What You Bring

- 3 to 6 years of experience in a high-intensity environment such as a startup, consulting firm, or investment bank

- Strong analytical and communication skills. You can model in Excel, write clearly, and create professional presentations

- Experience with or interest in sales operations, customer engagement, or investor coordination

- Comfort working directly with senior leaders and external partners

- Curiosity about energy, batteries, and the technologies that power modern systems

- A proactive mindset and the ability to bring order to unstructured situations

- High integrity and discretion when handling sensitive information

- Ability to work full time in our Carlsbad, CA office

This role sits at the intersection of operations, finance, and growth. You will help translate ideas into execution, bridge technical and commercial conversations, and build the systems that allow Proper Voltage to scale. It’s a unique opportunity for someone who wants to learn every part of the business and have a direct hand in shaping how we grow.
