TLDR:

You will own high-priority financial analyses that underpin major initiatives around Anduril
You will partner with leadership and teams from across the business to unpack ambiguous problems, develop a thorough understanding, and provide solutions (with a financial lens)
Your work will vary from quick-turn analytical problem solving to process improvements and building out financial models

The Strategic Finance 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 on the Strategic Finance 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, Investor Relations, Corporate Development, Supply Chain, Manufacturing, HR, Recruiting, and more
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.

e.g. Build a 10-Y model for a new product Anduril is considering
e.g. How should Anduril approach capital allocation decisions and think about capital structure?
e.g. How should Anduril think about international opportunities?

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

e.g. How much should Anduril charge for a new variant of Dive-LD?
e.g. How should Anduril structure the pricing on software licenses that provide autonomy to drones?

Required Qualifications:

You have 3+ 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 and can translate them into strategic, actionable insights
You are able to quickly execute analyses in Excel
You are self-driven and relentlessly proactive. You don’t need someone to tell you to “move”. You just move. We’d rather have to tell you to slow down than to speed up
You don’t wait on others to solve problems. You proactively step into the gap to offer solutions yourself
You have an ability to quantify complex often ambiguous problems
You are willing to learn how to use corporate systems (e.g. Salesforce) 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 or sprinting on urgent asks
U.S. Person status is required as this position needs to access export-controlled data
