Senior Strategic Finance Manager, Maneuver Dominance

Job description

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 TEAM Anduril’s Maneuver Dominance (MD) business delivers platforms, systems, and integrated effects in the Group 3/4/5 aviation domains. Our autonomous vehicles are the cornerstone of these capabilities, and we continually strive to push the boundaries of the possible in terms of endurance, autonomy and mission capability. The MD team develops and maintains core products and payloads, and adapts and applies those products to serve a wide variety of defense, IC and commercial customers in US and international markets. ABOUT THE JOB We are seeking a Senior Strategic Finance Manager to own strategic finance for the Maneuver Dominance division. Reporting to the MD Head of Finance, you will lead the analysis behind MD’s most important decisions — a deep, relentless modeler who lives and breathes in Excel and can take an ambiguous strategic question and build the model that answers it. You will own the full portfolio of strategic finance initiatives across the division: sizing new investments, pressure-testing business cases, running complex scenarios, and tracking the returns on MD’s strategic bets and high-IRAD investments. This is both a hands-on modeling role and a leadership one — you will start with one direct report and build out the strategic finance function as the division scales. You’ll partner with business line leaders to translate strategy into numbers, building the models, frameworks, and analyses that shape where MD invests and how it grows. The ideal candidate comes from a background where modeling is a craft — investment banking, private equity, venture capital, or corporate development — and is energized by hard quantitative problems, high stakes, and a fast-moving environment. WHAT YOU’LL DO Ownership & Team Leadership • Own the strategic finance agenda for the division — setting priorities and driving all strategic finance initiatives end to end. • Lead
