Finance Business Partner

EnduroSat • Los Angeles, CA

18h • $125,000 - $145,000

About The Position

As Finance Business Partner, you will help build and run the day-to-day financial engine of EnduroSat’s US entity. You will own accounts payable and receivable, maintain cash visibility, and build processes that enable the business to spend, pay, and bill reliably as it scales. This is a hands-on operational role involving vendor payments, collections, account reconciliations, and finance support for Engineering, Manufacturing, Procurement, and Sales. You will also contribute operational inputs to global planning, budgeting, and reporting cycles run from Europe.

This is an individual-contributor role with no direct reports. It sits at the operational core of US finance and is positioned to grow into a defined specialism within a broader global finance organization as the company scales and a global CFO is appointed.

Requirements

• 4–6 years of experience in finance or accounting, including meaningful hands-on transactional work.
• Direct ownership of accounts payable and accounts receivable, including invoice processing, payment runs, and collections.
• Ability to work independently as the only finance person in the room and respond to operational questions.
• Experience building or materially improving a finance process.
• Hands-on experience with an ERP, accounting system, or software such as NetSuite, SAP, Odoo, Xero, QuickBooks, or similar, including reporting and data hygiene.
• Strong Excel skills and judgment about when a spreadsheet should become a system.
• Comfort working across time zones with a European head office and a European-run global finance calendar.
• Authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving mindset.
• Excellent communication skills and ability to translate financial data into actionable insights for non-finance audiences.
• Proactive, collaborative business-partnering approach and comfort challenging assumptions.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced, growing company.

Nice To Haves

• Experience in a hardware, manufacturing, aerospace, or defense company, where finance works closely with production and long-lead procurement.
• Startup or new-site experience establishing finance operations rather than inheriting them.
• Multi-entity and multi-currency experience, including intercompany transactions and foreign exchange.
• Involvement in an ERP implementation or migration.
• Familiarity with milestone-based or contract-based customer billing.
• CPA, CMA, or equivalent qualification.

Responsibilities

• Own the end-to-end accounts payable cycle, including vendor invoice processing, approval workflows, payment runs, vendor statement reconciliation, and vendor payment queries across entities and currencies.
• Issue customer invoices against contract and program milestones, track receivables, drive collections with commercial teams, and monitor cash conversion and aging.
• Maintain the rolling cash position and short-term cash forecast, monitor payment timing against liquidity needs, and flag working-capital risks early.
• Design, document, and improve finance operational processes, including AP, AR, expenses, procure-to-pay, and approvals; build scalable controls and workflows where none exist.
• Serve as the day-to-day finance contact for operational teams, supporting purchase decisions, program cost tracking, and spend visibility.
• Contribute operational data, bottoms-up cost inputs, variance explanations, and actuals-versus-plan analysis to annual budgeting, forecasting, and management reporting cycles.
• Support month-end close alongside accounting, including accruals, reconciliations, intercompany activity, and expense reporting.
• Help ensure compliance with internal policies, audit requirements, and local statutory obligations.

Benefits

• Educational programs and a career progression framework.
• Opportunity to meet international space experts and develop industry knowledge and skills.
• Opportunity to join a company backed by Founders Fund.
