Role
Who you are
- 2 to 6 years of experience in a finance role at a high-growth technology company, defense/aerospace, investment banking, or consulting
- Intellectually curious — you seek to understand the why behind the numbers and dive into the operations as needed
- Creative problem-solver — able to identify obstacles, present viable solutions, and create systems to improve future processes
- Results-oriented — you ground your contributions in real customer and business impact and prioritize your time to maximize speed-to-impact
- Exceptional written and oral communication skills; able to drive consensus through grounded arguments and strong interpersonal skills
- Comfortable working in a fast-moving, ambiguous environment
- Strong financial modeling skills (Excel, Google Sheets)
- Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, Statistics, Economics, Engineering, Business, or related field
- Must be a U.S. Person due to required access to U.S. export controlled information or facilities
What the job involves
- As a Senior Financial Analyst supporting AD&S, you’ll partner with division and business line leaders to own key elements of the AD&S consolidated forecast and reporting
- In this role, you’ll be the voice of financial performance and drivers—building decision-ready analyses that connect program realities to financial outcomes
- You should be as comfortable supporting and explaining financial performance and variance analysis to cross-functional teams and senior leadership as you are building bottoms-up operating models and shaping the Annual Operating Plan (AOP)
- We’re building systems and processes from the ground up, and you will play a critical role in shaping them
- Support ownership of the financial health of AD&S by consolidating inputs across the division; maintain clear visibility to key drivers
- Lead monthly performance reporting: compile actuals, develop variance analyses, summarize drivers, and produce leadership-ready narratives and dashboards
- Support quarterly forecasting cycles across OPEX and CAPEX: gather inputs, normalize assumptions, consolidate rollups, and facilitate review discussions that focus on actions and trade-offs
- Support development and shaping of the Annual Operating Plan (AOP): build templates, coordinate timelines, stress-test assumptions, and prepare materials for division and corporate reviews
- Build bottoms-up, data-driven models to understand cost and investment dynamics (workforce, vendor spend, tooling/capex, production ramps, and other key operational drivers)
- Create reports and automated dashboards in FP&A and ERP tools (e.g., Oracle, NetSuite, Anaplan, Foundry) and drive continuous improvement in reporting tools, systems, and procedures
- Partner with technical and operational leaders as a thought partner—offering insights and recommendations on how to track performance and improve outcomes
- Creatively and scrappily solve problems where there is no right or wrong answer, while maintaining high standards for accuracy and clarity
- Maintain visibility into portfolio investment (including R&D/IRAD) as part of consolidated reporting and forecast commentary, without losing focus on core operating rhythm
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 $1 billion Series G funding round in 2025 led by the Founders Fund, doubling its valuation to $30 billion. This oversubscribed funding round came after the company doubled its revenue in 2024, when it won a contract with the US military to build its soldiers' VY/AR headsets for combat, a contract the company beat Microsoft to.
