ABOUT THE TEAM

The Air Dominance & Strike (AD&S) division is building and fielding autonomous and affordable capabilities that deliver decisive advantage.

The AD&S Finance team partners with leaders across Engineering, Program Management, Manufacturing, and Corporate Finance to drive a consistent operating cadence—monthly performance reporting, quarterly forecasting, and annual operating planning—so teams can move fast with financial discipline and clarity.

ABOUT THE JOB

As a Senior Financial Analyst supporting AD&S, you’ll partner with division and business line leaders to own key elements of the AD&S consolidated forecast and reporting. In this role, you’ll be the voice of financial performance and drivers—building decision-ready analyses that connect program realities to financial outcomes.

You should be as comfortable supporting and explaining financial performance and variance analysis to cross-functional teams and senior leadership as you are building bottoms-up operating models and shaping the Annual Operating Plan (AOP). We’re building systems and processes from the ground up, and you will play a critical role in shaping them.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Support ownership of the financial health of AD&S by consolidating inputs across the division; maintain clear visibility to key drivers.
• Lead monthly performance reporting: compile actuals, develop variance analyses, summarize drivers, and produce leadership-ready narratives and dashboards.
• Support quarterly forecasting cycles across OPEX and CAPEX: gather inputs, normalize assumptions, consolidate rollups, and facilitate review discussions that focus on actions and trade-offs.
• Support development and shaping of the Annual Operating Plan (AOP): build templates, coordinate timelines, stress-test assumptions, and prepare materials for division and corporate reviews.
• Build bottoms-up, data-driven models to understand cost and investment dynamics (workforce, vendor spend, tooling/capex, production ramps, and other key operational drivers).
• Create reports and automated dashboards in FP&A and ERP tools (e.g., Oracle, NetSuite, Anaplan, Foundry) and drive continuous improvement in reporting tools, systems, and procedures.
• Partner with technical and operational leaders as a thought partner—offering insights and recommendations on how to track performance and improve outcomes.
• Creatively and scrappily solve problems where there is no right or wrong answer, while maintaining high standards for accuracy and clarity.
• Maintain visibility into portfolio investment (including R&D/IRAD) as part of consolidated reporting and forecast commentary, without losing focus on core operating rhythm.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• 2 to 6 years of experience in a finance role at a high-growth technology company, defense/aerospace, investment banking, or consulting.
• Intellectually curious — you seek to understand the why behind the numbers and dive into the operations as needed.
• Creative problem-solver — able to identify obstacles, present viable solutions, and create systems to improve future processes.
• Results-oriented — you ground your contributions in real customer and business impact and prioritize your time to maximize speed-to-impact.
• Exceptional written and oral communication skills; able to drive consensus through grounded arguments and strong interpersonal skills.
• Comfortable working in a fast-moving, ambiguous environment.
• Strong financial modeling skills (Excel, Google Sheets).
• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, Statistics, Economics, Engineering, Business, or related field.
• Must be a U.S. Person due to required access to U.S. export controlled information or facilities.
