Manager of FP&A, AD&S

Anduril Industries•Costa Mesa, CA

14d•$129,000 - $171,000

About The Position

Anduril’s Air Dominance & Strike (AD&S) Finance team is seeking an FP&A Manager to help lead division-level planning, forecasting, budgeting, and performance reporting. In this role, you will own the consolidated AD&S view of performance and drive the operating rhythm – monthly and quarterly reporting, variance analysis, and executive readouts – so leadership has clear visibility to drivers, risks, and actions across the portfolio. AD&S is scaling quickly across multiple product and program fronts, and leadership needs a single, consistent view of performance and outlook. This role exists to build and run the division’s FP&A operating cadence – consolidating inputs across business lines, translating results into decision-ready insights, and shaping the annual operating plan so resources stay aligned to the highest-impact priorities. This FP&A Manager will play a central role in establishing and scaling division-level reporting and planning for AD&S. Partnering closely with Business Line FP&A, Engineering, Program Management, and Corporate Finance, you will align assumptions, consolidate results, and package insights into a clear narrative for leadership. Responsibilities include owning the AD&S consolidated forecast, leading monthly performance reporting, driving quarterly forecast cycles, and coordinating the annual operating plan (AOP) process end-to-end – templates, calendars, rollups, and leadership materials. Success requires strong analytical rigor, an ownership mindset, and the ability to operate effectively in a fast-moving environment with ambiguity.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or related field; MBA or CPA/CFA a plus.
5+ years of experience in corporate FP&A, investment banking, or consulting with strong forecasting, modeling, and analytical rigor.

Advanced proficiency in Excel and driver-based financial modeling; strong comfort working with large datasets.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills; ability to translate complex topics into clear, decision-ready insights.
Proven ability to manage multiple projects in a deadline-driven environment and improve cross-team processes.
Ability to work autonomously with minimal direction, take ownership of ambiguous workstreams, and drive deliverables to completion
Experience with financial planning/reporting tools and ERP systems (e.g., Anaplan, NetSuite, Oracle, Foundry).
Must be authorized to work in the United States.
