What the job involves
- We’re looking for a highly organized, execution-focused Senior Finance Operations Analyst to help build and scale financial systems and processes across the business
- This role sits at the center of how financial data and workflows move across Finance, Accounting, Contracts, Program Management, and Procurement
- You will partner closely with stakeholders to implement new tools and processes, ensure systems are aligned, and drive consistent adoption across the organization
- You will be expected to independently identify opportunities for improvement, prioritize initiatives, and drive execution with minimal oversight. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment and enjoys owning projects end-to-end—from initial design through rollout, training, and ongoing optimization
- Own and drive the rollout of new financial tools, workflows, and process improvements across the organization (e.g., charge code structures, system enhancements)
- Partner with Enterprise Technology and Finance to ensure financial systems are integrated, scalable, and operating effectively
- Lead implementation efforts including process design, documentation, testing, rollout coordination, and post-launch optimization
- Proactively identify gaps, inefficiencies, or failure points in financial workflows and take ownership of designing and implementing solutions
- Partner with Accounting, Contracts, Program Management, Procurement, and Manufacturing to ensure financial processes align with operational needs
- Translate business requirements into clear financial workflows and system configurations
- Influence stakeholders across functions to drive adoption of new processes, even in the face of competing priorities or resistance
- Actively engage with stakeholders to uncover pain points and process breakdowns, and drive improvements without waiting for direction
- Serve as a key point of contact for financial operations questions, issue resolution, and process guidance
- Own and support billing and invoicing processes, ensuring alignment with contract terms and program structures
- Support and improve cash forecasting by consolidating inputs across programs, procurement, and operational activities
- Ensure financial data is accurate and consistent across ERP and supporting systems
- Monitor workflows and proactively flag risks, discrepancies, or process breakdowns
- Improve visibility into spend across procurement, manufacturing, and program execution
- Drive improvements in cost tracking and financial reporting across programs
- Analyze financial and operational data to identify trends, inefficiencies, and actionable improvement opportunities
Our take
Unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) are vehicles which operate at the surface of the water without a crew and can be used in oceanography and environmental monitoring, as well as for cargo transport or military applications. Saronic is a company developing USVs to have enhanced awareness and improved survivability, to be employed in maritime security.
Saronic's vehicles are designed to be smarter than previous models, with capabilities including adaptive path planning, multichannel communication, and the ability to better identify and track targets through a combination of passive sensors and advanced algorithms.
Saronic is clearly charting an ambitious course for the future of maritime innovation too. Through its strategic partnership with NVIDIA, the company has embedded cutting-edge AI and edge computing directly onto its autonomous vessels. By combining Saronic's shipbuilding and autonomy expertise with NVIDIA's advanced computing, the company is delivering smarter platform while modernizing US shipbuilding for the era of autonomy. With this momentum, Saronic should be able to scale its next-generation maritime solutions and lead the transformation of a critical industry.
