Financial Analyst II, Software Platform

About the Company

Responsibilities

• ● Own the forecast and the close. Run SWP's rolling monthly forecasts and annual plan. Review month-end close outputs for accuracy, resolve issues with Accounting, and be the source of truth for SWP's financials.
• ● Tell the financial story. Prepare monthly, quarterly, and annual variance analysis and present it directly to SWP leadership. Explain the "why" behind the financials at the consolidated level and at every cut (e.g. team, spend type, vendor).
• ● Own cloud and tooling spend. Serve as the financial owner of SWP's cloud and tooling spend. Track consumption against forecast, reconcile provider and vendor data to the GL, surface unit economics and cost drivers, and partner with engineering leaders on cost-optimization and commitment/licensing decisions.
• ● Own the allocation methodology. Build, maintain, and defend SWP's cost allocation methodology to the business lines that consume it. Make the methodology transparent and explainable and hold both sides accountable to it - SWP for the efficiency of their spend, and each business line for the demand it creates.
• ● Partner with the business. Work with stakeholders across SWP and the company to understand operational drivers and illustrate the financial implications of decisions before they are made.
• ● Build for scale. Establish, automate, and continuously improve SWP's financial processes, models, and reporting. Replace manual work with durable infrastructure that keeps pace with Anduril's growth.
• ● Lead ad-hoc strategic projects. Take on high-priority analyses for leadership and deliver actionable insights and recommendations.
• ● 2-6 years of relevant experience in Corporate Finance/FP&A, business partner finance, investment banking, consulting, equity research, or a related analytical field.
• ● Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, Statistics, Engineering, Business, or a related field.
• ● Strong financial acumen and advanced proficiency in Excel and financial modeling.
• ● Comfortable working with large, imperfect datasets and reconciling multiple systems to a defensible answer.
• ● Excellent written and oral communication skills, with the ability to present financial results and variance analysis credibly to senior technical and non-technical audiences.
• ● Demonstrated ability to work independently and own a deliverable end to end in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment with competing deadlines.
• ● 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.
• ● Strong cross-functional instincts and a service orientation; comfortable holding partners accountable to shared financial commitments.
• ● Must be a U.S. Person due to required access to U.S. export controlled information or facilities.

Requirements

• ● Experience supporting a software, engineering, R&D, or centralized shared-services organization.
• ● Familiarity with cloud cost management (AWS/Azure/GCP) and SaaS/vendor spend analysis.
• ● Experience with ERP and EPM systems (e.g., Oracle Fusion, Oracle EPM) and BI analytics tools.
• ● DoD and/or technology industry experience.
