Role
Who you are
- You have 2+ years of experience in management consulting, investment banking, or private equity/venture capital
- You are humble and hungry; no task is too small or beneath you, and you will bring a just-get-it-done mindset to work every day
- You are self-driven and relentlessly proactive. You don’t need someone to tell you to “move”. You just move. We’d rather have to tell you to slow down than to speed up
- You don’t wait on others to solve problems. You proactively step into the gap to offer solutions yourself
- You have strong analytical aptitude. You intuitively think about problems in terms of numbers and models, and you are able to execute analyses quickly in Excel
- You are comfortable communicating broadly and having a lot of eyes on your work. This role can at-times require comms to large groups and senior leadership. This should excite you!
What the job involves
- The Strategic Finance team at Anduril is responsible for all things pricing
- This isn't typical defense industry pricing, we commercialize products developed with internally funded R&D
- This means we need a deep understanding of the broader market, our products, and how they scale
- We use data-driven, strategic thinking to ensure product economics work on an ROI basis. We deal in a variety of pricing flavors, including type (e.g. hardware, software, services), economic models (e.g. as-a-service, purchase), and other dimensions
- We are custodians of Anduril's commercial price catalog and think creatively how to segment and align offerings to the intersection of customer value and company strategy
- We support proposal negotiations and strategic business case development with data-driven, strategically-minded financial analysis
- You'll be cranking on product-level financial return models (e.g. IRR) across Anduril businesses to inform pricing decisions strategic investments. More often than not, assumptions will not be well defined and you will need to think creatively how to structure assumptions/levers and define scenarios
- Build ad hoc scenario models to support proposal negotiations
- Learn Anduril’s business top-to-bottom, and regularly interact with colleagues in hardware and software engineering, supply chain & manufacturing, finance, business development, government relations, etc
- We’re not huge on PowerPoint decks, but the slides you produce will be thoughtful, well-researched, and well-formatted for an executive audience
Our take
Anduril makes hardware and software for defense agencies including the Department of Defense and the Department of Homeland Security. Its hardware products include specialist drones with a long flight time and surveillance towers.
This hardware is tied together by proprietary software, the Lattice platform, which uses sensor fusion, machine learning, and mesh networking to integrate real-time data from Anduril hardware and third-party systems into a single, autonomous operating picture. While the hardware observes and detects, the software can make decisions as to the threat level of any anomalies, and so allow for observation and protection of an area or building with minimal manpower.
Anduril closed a Series E funding round in 2022 led by Valor Equity Partners. This funding was used for research and development of its autonomous defense products, such as the Roadrunner, a modular twin-jet powered autonomous vehicle that can take off and land vertically. Variants of the Roadrunner include defensive warhead armed interceptors which are the first drone weapons that can be retrieved after deployment. The company has also expanded to Australia where it is working in tandem with the Australian Defence Force to improve its military technology and infrastructure and is recruiting talent worldwide to support its rapidly growing portfolio of defense projects.
