Senior Financial Analyst - FP&A at Anduril · London
Job Description
Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology. By bringing the expertise, technology, and business model of the 21st century’s most innovative companies to the defense industry, Anduril is changing how military systems are designed, built and sold. Anduril’s family of systems is powered by Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system that turns thousands of data streams into a realtime, 3D command and control center. As the world enters an era of strategic competition, Anduril is committed to bringing cutting-edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to the military in months, not years.
About the Team
Anduril's UK operations are scaling rapidly, with a growing portfolio of defence technology programmes and an expanding international footprint across Europe and the Middle East. The Finance & Accounting team sits at the centre of this growth - partnering with programme teams, engineering, and business development to deliver financial rigour, while simultaneously building the regional finance infrastructure that will underpin Anduril's long-term international success.
This is a new role created to bridge two critical requirements: hands-on programme finance across a live portfolio of contracted customer work, and the ground-up build of a regional finance capability that does not exist today.
About the Job
This role has two pillars, and the balance between them will flex with business demand.
The first is programme finance. You will own the financial planning and analysis for a portfolio of contracted customer programmes and internal R&D activities within the Air Maneuver business line. This will include day-to-day forecasting, Estimate at Completion (EAC) maintenance, actuals analysis, variance reporting, bid pricing, and business case support across UK and European campaigns.
The second is regional finance maturity. You will help build the internal management reporting process for the UK, Europe, and Middle East region from scratch - establishing KPIs, creating a monthly close cadence, producing performance narratives for leadership, and putting the systems, controls, and automation in place to make it repeatable and scalable.
This is not a role where you inherit a playbook or sit within a large established team. You will be creating structure, defining processes, and shaping how finance operates in a fast-growing defence technology company. If you want ownership, breadth, and the chance to build something from nothing, this is it.
What You Will Do
- Own day-to-day programme finance across a portfolio of contracted customer programmes - EAC maintenance, actuals analysis, variance narrative, and monthly financial reporting.
- Be an effective finance business partner to cross-functional programme teams.
- Build and maintain programme forecast models and support the divisional forecast cycle.
- Support financial activities for UK-specific IRAD (Internal Research & Development) programmes.
- Build and operate the regional internal management P&L reporting process from scratch, covering UK, Europe, and the Middle East. Establish the monthly close and associated reporting timetable.
- Define and maintain regional performance KPIs. Produce the first-draft performance narrative each period - actuals, risks, opportunities, and recommended actions - bringing P&L and balance sheet views together with base case, upside, and downside scenarios.
- Own the monthly data pulls from Foundry and Oracle EPM. Build the controls and automation that make the reporting cycle repeatable rather than manual. Reconcile management reporting back to the statutory ledger and document the process and its controls as it is built.
- Interface with international accounting managers on statutory, tax, and audit requirements. Support the UK leadership team and Global Defence & Growth Operations.
Required Qualifications
- ACCA or CIMA qualified (or equivalent chartered qualification).
- 3+ years of post-qualified experience across a broad range of finance disciplines - not someone who has done the same narrow role repeatedly.
- Programme finance experience including percentage-of-completion (PoC) revenue recognition and Estimates at Completion (EACs).
- Experience setting up finance processes from scratch or materially redesigning how things are done.
- Advanced Excel and Power Query skills - you build data-connected models, not just spreadsheets.
- Familiarity with ERP systems, ideally Oracle.
- Strong PowerPoint skills for executive-level reporting and storytelling.
- Comfortable with AI tools and finding ways to automate manual work.
- SC clearance eligible (or willing to obtain).
- Right to work in the United Kingdom.
Preferred Qualifications
- Aerospace and defence finance experience.
- Experience with programme finance including EAC management, PoC accounting, and IRAD cost tracking.
- Prior experience in a scaling or start-up environment where finance infrastructure was being built for the first time.
- Familiarity with Foundry or similar data platforms.
- Exposure to international or multi-region financial reporting.
