Business Analyst, Operational Finance

Hadrian - Manufacturing the Future

Hadrian is building autonomous factories that help aerospace and defense companies manufacture rockets, satellites, jets, and ships up to 10x faster and up to 2x cheaper. By combining advanced software, robotics, and full‑stack manufacturing, we are reinventing how America produces its most critical parts.

Valued at $1.6 B, we’re accelerating our mission with the launch of Factory 3 in Mesa, Arizona, a 290,000‑square‑foot facility creating 350 new jobs. We are expanding rapidly to support thousands of future hires, launching Hadrian Maritime to expand into naval production, and introducing a Factory‑as‑a‑Service model that delivers complete systems instead of individual parts.

The Operational Finance team at Hadrian drives both strategic direction and day‑to‑day execution of our advanced manufacturing mission. You will work closely with Accounting, Factory Operations, Special Projects, and Automation to construct official company plans, build processes, data systems, and frameworks that support rapid decision‑making and effective resource deployment. As a Business Analyst, Operational Finance, you will be the analytical bridge between our factories and our financial model, owning core operational and financial reporting, defining critical metrics, and explaining what drives changes in unit economics, throughput, and cost.

• Serve as the analytical bridge between Factory Operations and Operational Finance, owning core reporting, defining the KPIs that matter, and building tools that help the broader Finance team move faster.
• Build and maintain dashboards tracking core operational and financial metrics including cost per part, throughput, utilization, and variance vs. plan.
• Perform variance and driver analysis to explain changes in revenue, cost, and unit economics to Finance and Operations leadership.
• Support quoting workflows by connecting pricing assumptions to actual cost performance, helping the team understand where margin is won or lost.
• Partner with Accounting during month‑end and quarter‑end close to ensure accurate operational inputs, clean reconciliations, and clear documentation of assumptions.
• Support the broader Finance team with ad‑hoc analysis and data pulls that feed into strategic planning, investor updates, and executive decision‑making.
• Actively identify and reduce manual work in reporting and analysis through automation, better process design, and improved tooling.

• Bachelor’s degree in finance, accounting, engineering, mathematics, computer science, information systems, or another technical discipline.
• 1‑3+ years of professional experience in finance, analytics, or consulting.
• Proficient in SQL, able to independently write and troubleshoot queries without relying on others to pull data.
• Experience with BI tools such as Power BI, Tableau, Superset, or similar.
• Strong communication skills with ability to partner cross‑functionally and think strategically about spend and operational bottlenecks.
• Experience working with an ERP system (e.g., Netsuite, SAP, or similar).

• Experience working in a scaling manufacturing or hardware‑focused company.
• Comfort operating in ambiguous, fast‑moving environments where scope is defined by you as much as anyone else.
• Exposure to working alongside Data teams and a basic understanding of how data moves from source systems to reporting.
• Exposure to financial modeling or 3‑statement fundamentals.
