About Critical Materials Recycling 

Critical Materials Recycling, Inc. (CMR), is a startup based in Boone, Iowa, created to tackle the billions of pounds of e‑waste generated annually, where a large portion of rare earth elements go unrecovered. CMR is advancing sustainable recycling of Rare Earth Elements (REEs) through our patented Acid-Free Dissolution Recycling (ADR) technology. CMR’s environmentally friendly solution is poised to lead the world in rare earth element and critical materials recovery as the world’s need for critical materials increases. 

 

About the Opportunity 

We are seeking an experienced and hands-on Chief Financial Officer (CFO) to lead the company’s financial strategy as we scale from pilot operations to a 1,000 metric ton Rare Earth Oxide (REO) facility by 2029. This role is critical to CMR’s near-term execution and long-term success. 

 

Key Responsibilities 

  • Establish and manage day-to-day financial operations, including bookkeeping, general ledger management, accounts payable/receivable, payroll oversight, cash management, and monthly close processes.  
  • Develop and maintain financial models, budgets, and forecasts to support operational scaling, capital planning, and strategic decision-making.  
  • Track performance against key metrics and provide actionable reporting to the CEO/Board. 
  • Support all fundraising activities, including equity raises, strategic investments, grants, and non-dilutive funding (e.g., DOE, DoD).  
  • Ensure compliance with GAAP, tax regulations, and state/federal reporting requirements.  
  • Design and implement scalable financial systems and processes to support growth from pilot to commercial operations. 
  • Partner closely with the COO, CTO, and CCO to align financial strategy with operations, technology development, and commercial agreements.  
  • Identify financial risks related to capital intensity, feedstock variability, pricing volatility, and regulatory changes, and develop mitigation strategies. 


About You 

  • Progressive financial leadership experience, including prior experience as a CFO, VP of Finance, or senior finance leader in a startup or high-growth environment. 
  • Demonstrated hands-on experience with bookkeeping, accounting, and financial controls, especially in early-stage or resource-constrained companies. 
  • Proven track record of supporting fundraising efforts, including venture capital, strategic investors, and/or non-dilutive funding sources. 
  • Strong financial modeling, forecasting, and analytical skills, with advanced proficiency in Excel or similar tools. 
  • Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field; CPA, CFA, or MBA strongly preferred. 
  • Experience in capital-intensive industries such as cleantech, recycling, manufacturing, energy, or materials processing is preferred.  
  • Familiarity with government grants, incentives, and compliance requirements (e.g., DOE, DoD, IRA-related programs) is preferred.  
  • Experience implementing accounting systems and scaling financial infrastructure (e.g., QuickBooks, NetSuite, or similar) is preferred.
