About The Position

We’re looking for a Head of Corporate Finance to build and lead the financial planning engine behind one of the fastest-scaling defense companies in history. This person will own Corporate FP&A and the operating rhythms that connect Anduril’s financial model to its strategic priorities. You’ll sit at the intersection of the corporate finance team, the division finance teams, and the C-suite — translating details from across the company into a clear narrative and ensuring leadership has the right financial data and analysis to make good decisions. This is an operating and decision-making role, not just a slide-making one. You’ll own the company’s financial operating plan and forecasting, the analysis behind the decisions that shape it, and the executive-level reporting that goes to the leadership team, the Board, and investors. You’ll influence decisions around how the company deploys capital, including which programs and R&D initiatives to pursue and how much production capacity to build. You’ll inherit a fast-growing function with a lean, capable team and a mandate to evolve Anduril’s Corporate Finance function into a best-in-class organization without slowing the business down.

• Experience preparing materials for and presenting to senior management, including the C-suite, Board of Directors, and institutional investors.
• Track record of hiring and developing finance teams and replacing manual processes with durable, scalable systems.
• Proven ability to operate as a strategic business partner across engineering, manufacturing, and G&A organizations, earning trust and influencing decisions before they are made.
