About This Role

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.

ABOUT THE JOB

The Software Platform (SWP) organization at Anduril builds the shared software infrastructure, tooling, and services that every business line depends on. We are looking for a Financial Analyst II with 2-6 years of experience to be the finance partner to SWP. This role will own SWP's monthly forecast, annual plan, financial reporting, and variance analysis end to end, and be the liaison for leadership when they need to understand what something costs, what it will cost, and what it is delivering. This is a high-ownership, high-impact role that will sit close to engineering and operations leaders, translate infrastructure and headcount decisions into financial outcomes before they happen, and build the processes and models that let SWP finance scale as Anduril grows.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

Own the forecast and the close. Run SWP's rolling monthly forecasts and annual plan. Review month-end close outputs for accuracy, resolve issues with Accounting, and be the source of truth for SWP's financials.
Tell the financial story. Prepare monthly, quarterly, and annual variance analysis and present it directly to SWP leadership. Explain the "why" behind the financials at the consolidated level and at every cut (e.g. team, spend type, vendor).
Own cloud and tooling spend. Serve as the financial owner of SWP's cloud and tooling spend. Track consumption against forecast, reconcile provider and vendor data to the GL, surface unit economics and cost drivers, and partner with engineering leaders on cost-optimization and commitment/licensing decisions.
Own the allocation methodology. Build, maintain, and defend SWP's cost allocation methodology to the business lines that consume it. Make the methodology transparent and explainable and hold both sides accountable to it — SWP for the efficiency of their spend, and each business line for the demand it creates.
Partner with the business. Work with stakeholders across SWP and the company to understand operational drivers and illustrate the financial implications of decisions before they are made.
Build for scale. Establish, automate, and continuously improve SWP's financial processes, models, and reporting. Replace manual work with durable infrastructure that keeps pace with Anduril's growth.
Lead ad-hoc strategic projects. Take on high-priority analyses for leadership and deliver actionable insights and recommendations.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

2-6 years of relevant experience in Corporate Finance/FP&A, business partner finance, investment banking, consulting, equity research, or a related analytical field.
Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, Statistics, Engineering, Business, or a related field.
Strong financial acumen and advanced proficiency in Excel and financial modeling.
Comfortable working with large, imperfect datasets and reconciling multiple systems to a defensible answer.
Excellent written and oral communication skills, with the ability to present financial results and variance analysis credibly to senior technical and non-technical audiences.
Demonstrated ability to work independently and own a deliverable end to end in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment with competing deadlines.
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.
Strong cross-functional instincts and a service orientation; comfortable holding partners accountable to shared financial commitments.
Must be a U.S. Person due to required access to U.S. export controlled information or facilities.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

Experience supporting a software, engineering, R&D, or centralized shared-services organization.
Familiarity with cloud cost management (AWS/Azure/GCP) and SaaS/vendor spend analysis.
Experience with ERP and EPM systems (e.g., Oracle Fusion, Oracle EPM) and BI analytics tools.
DoD and/or technology industry experience.
