Job description

Job responsibilities

• Own the financial models behind Anduril's financings, strategic transactions, and major investment decisions end-to-end – sizing, structural alternatives, and downside scenarios.
• Drive the analytical workstream on live transactions from first framing through close – pressure-testing terms, building diligence materials, and tracking where each negotiating position actually lands.
• Build operating models that connect the underlying business to financial outcomes. Get deep into how a factory ramps, what a program costs to execute, and where the business is exposed, then translate that analysis for…
• Build durable frameworks for capital allocation and investment decisions across new facilities, capacity expansion, vertical integration, and other non-routine commitments.
• Go get the data yourself. Work directly with supply chain, manufacturing, contracts, and program teams, pull from our corporate systems, and reconcile messy inputs into numbers you would defend line by line.
• Own ambiguous initiatives that have no natural owner. Frame the problem, build the analysis, land on a recommendation, and drive it through implementation.
• Present directly to senior leadership and work across functions, from Legal and Accounting to Supply Chain and Manufacturing.

Job requirements

• 3-5 years of experience, including time at a top-tier investment bank and at a buyout private equity firm – ideally with both LevFin or Restructuring experience and industrials coverage.
• Exceptional financial modeling ability. You can build detailed, structurally sound models from the ground up, but also know when a quick analysis is enough to make the decision at hand.
• Strong command of debt financing structures, capital structure, and credit. You understand how financing decisions affect the operating decisions that follow.
• Real business judgment and an operational tilt. You can see what actually drives a program's economics and which assumptions are critical, even from messy and incomplete information.
• A first-principles thinker with strong institutional grounding. You know the standard playbook well enough to know when to use it – and when the problem calls for something else.
• Extremely high agency. You are comfortable working through genuinely hard problems, don't wait to be told to move, and can sprint when the situation demands it.
• Comfortable presenting to large, extremely senior audiences and company leadership.
• Demonstrated interest in industrial and defense technology.
