Special Projects, Finance

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology.

The Special Projects team within Finance helps lead Anduril's financing strategy, complex strategic transactions, and cross-functional initiatives.

We are looking for a Special Projects, Finance team member to join our growing team in Costa Mesa, CA. You will have real ownership early, taking on a mix of live transactions and high-priority projects and driving them from initial analysis through execution.

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.
• 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.

Required Qualifications

• 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.
• Strong command of debt financing structures, capital structure, and credit.
• Real business judgment and an operational tilt.
• A first-principles thinker with strong institutional grounding.
• Extremely high agency.
• Comfortable presenting to large, extremely senior audiences and company leadership.
• Demonstrated interest in industrial and defense technology.
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance

Preferred Qualifications

• Direct operating experience inside a company, ideally in a high-growth environment.
• Direct project finance, structured finance, or dedicated financing transaction experience.
• Deep exposure to industrials, aerospace and defense, or manufacturing businesses.
• Former founder or early-stage operator.
• Undergraduate degree in a STEM, engineering, or quantitative major.

Benefits Anduril offers top-tier benefits for full-time employees, including comprehensive, competitive benefits package.
