Senior Finance, Special Projects

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 Special Projects team at Anduril has three primary responsibilities:

• Special projects. We are frequently pulled into high priority problems that must be solved, but do not fall neatly into the purview of an existing person’s job description. Our team is one of the first to get tapped when a messy problem needs solving

• Pricing Strategy. We are a key pillar in how we price products across the company. Anduril is at the forefront of new technologies that require novel pricing and contracting structures – and our team owns a large part of this

• Maturing Financial Frameworks. Our team is at the forefront of how Anduril thinks about investments (incl. new products, new facilities, etc.). Its our job to bring financial rigor to these decisions and to mature our decision-making process

What you’ll do as a Finance Analyst / Associate on the Special Projects Team:

• Own projects end-to-end, from Definition, Solution, to Implementation. You will be handed ambiguous, messy problems with little prescription on how to solve them.

• Execute scrappy analyses on short timelines to get answers quickly, while also owning more scalable solutions that will make Anduril successful in the long term

• Project manage across many stakeholders. If you don’t like being the person leading meetings with large groups of people or managing large Slack channels to wrangle stakeholders towards a solution, this may not be the role for you

• Work across functions and learn Anduril’s business top-to-bottom. You will interact with Finance, Growth, Engineering, Supply Chain, Manufacturing, HR, Recruiting, and more

• e.g. Should Anduril invest in a new Dive-LD variant?

• Own detailed financial models end-to-end, from on-the-ground gathering of data, through creating materials, to presenting them to stakeholders

• Build P&L models for different products, business lines, divisions, and acquisitions

• Build novel financial frameworks for thinking through operational decisions, including but not limited to facilities, manufacturing, supply chain, etc.

• Work on novel pricing frameworks for new technologies that the USG has never acquired before

• Build out models to justify $ pricing and show how it impacts Anduril and the customer

• Brainstorm / ideate on different ways of monetizing Anduril products and technology

• Deeply embed with engineering, sales, and proposals teams on major new efforts

Required Qualifications:

• You have 1-2+ years of experience in management consulting, investment banking, or similar

• You have a strong understanding of financial and accounting concepts

• You have strong analytical aptitude. You intuitively think about problems in terms of numbers

• You are able to quickly execute analyses in Excel

• You have an ability to quantify complex often ambiguous problems

• You are willing to learn how to use corporate systems (e.g. Salesforce, Coupa, Anaplan) 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
