ABOUT THE TEAM

The Production Finance team is responsible for overseeing the financial execution of our manufacturing organization. We are the intersection between engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, and finance as it relates to production; we leverage data and business relationships to drive towards the best financial outcome for Anduril. You get to partner with Anduril’s functional and business leaders by providing key insights on demand signals, production attainment, resource allocation, and Product profitability.

ABOUT THE JOB

We are seeking a Senior Financial Analyst with 2-4 years of experience to join our Production Finance team. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in financial modeling, experience in manufacturing or operations environments, and can build firm business relations with internal customers. This individual will directly own financials as well as budget control for a given product portfolio, guiding strategic decision-making, and optimizing financial performance. The successful candidate will play an active role in shaping strategy rather than functioning solely as a service provider – the deeper you go the better your results.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• End-to-end financial management of production execution: including, but not limited to, headcount, cash/working capital, demand planning, standard costing, production attainment, inventory analysis, and managing product margins.
• Establish transparency into unit economics and material cost for existing and future Anduril products.
• Work cross-functionally with Production, Supply Chain, Demand Planning, Quality, and Division Finance teams to own costing models, business case analyses, and decision-making frameworks.
• Perform in-depth quantitative analyses including variance analysis (actuals vs. plan), trend analysis, scenario modeling, and root-cause investigations to identify performance drivers and risks.
• Develop complex financial models to assess various financial scenarios and support strategic initiatives.
• Identify and implement process improvements to streamline FP&A activities and enhance reporting accuracy.
• Support the development of leadership reporting and present financial insights to senior management.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, or a related field; MBA/ technical background (Manufacturing/ Supply Chain/ Operations/ Service) is a plus.
• You have 2-4 years of experience in manufacturing finance, operations finance, business unit finance, cost accounting, investment banking, or similar.
• You have a strong understanding of financial and accounting concepts.
• Excellent communication and presentation skills, with the ability to convey complex financial information in an understandable manner.
• You have strong analytical aptitude and take ownership. You intuitively think about problems in terms of numbers.
  • You are able to quickly execute analyses in Excel & translate findings to business partners
  • You are comfortable using corporate systems (e.g. Oracle, Salesforce) and analytic / dashboarding tools (e.g. Palantir Foundry)
• 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.
• You enjoy working at a place where no one minds if you leave early one day to go to an appointment or run an errand, but you also don’t mind responding to Slacks in the evening while you’re watching Netflix.
• Must be authorized to work in the United States.
