Senior Financial Analyst

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology. By bringing the expertise, technology, and business model of the 21st century’s most innovative companies to the defense industry, Anduril is changing how military systems are designed, built and sold. Anduril’s family of systems is powered by Lattice OS, an AI‑powered operating system that turns thousands of data streams into a realtime, 3D command and control center.

As the world enters an era of strategic competition, Anduril is committed to bringing cutting‑edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to the military in months, not years.

The Software Platform team builds Lattice, the foundation for everything we do as a defense technology company. Our teams work on a large variety of strategic topics, ranging from core infrastructure to distributed systems, web development, networking and more. We look for self‑motivated people, those who hold a higher bar for themselves than anyone else could hold for them.

As a Senior Financial Analyst on the Software Platform team, you’ll partner with the Platform leadership team to own all financial aspects of the Platform. In this role, you’ll not only be the voice of financial health, you’ll also have an opportunity to influence how the Platform’s success is tracked and measured. You should be as comfortable supporting and explaining financial performance and variance analysis to cross‑functional teams and senior leadership as you are defining operating models that align incentives cross‑company.

We’re building our systems and processes from the ground up, and you will play a critical role in shaping them.

• Serve as a thought partner to Platform engineering leaders by offering insights and making recommendations on how to measure and improve the performance of the Platform

• Creation of reports and automated dashboards in FP&A and ERP tools (Oracle, Anaplan, and Foundry)
• Drive continuous improvement in financial reporting tools, systems and procedures
• Creatively and scrappily solve problems where there is no right or wrong answer

• 2 to 6 years experience in a finance role at a high‑growth technology company, 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 will do whatever it takes to ensure success. 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. You drive consensus through grounded arguments, interpersonal skills, and negotiation skills.
• Comfortable working in a fast‑moving, ambiguous environment
• Preferred to have DoD and/or Tech industry experience
• 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
