<div class="content-intro"><p>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.

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.</p></div><p><strong>ABOUT THE TEAM</strong></p> <p>The Special Projects team within Finance helps lead Anduril's financing strategy, complex strategic transactions, and cross-functional initiatives that don't sit neatly within any one org. We structure and lead negotiations on some of Anduril's largest and most complex deals – financing transactions with banks and investors, and major commercial engagements with customers – owning those processes from internal framing through execution. The work requires getting close to the business: we partner directly with operations, contracts, supply chain, and division finance teams to understand the economics and operating constraints, develop a point of view, and drive decisions. Beyond transactions, we take on high-priority problems that span functions or lack a clear owner, working with the relevant teams from initial analysis through implementation.</p> <p><strong>ABOUT THE JOB</strong></p> <p>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. The role combines the financial rigor of investing with far closer proximity to the business: you will build the analysis, form a view, work directly with the teams closest to the problem, and turn decisions into action. You should be comfortable working through incomplete information, going deep when the details matter, and moving between financial models, operating discussions, and recommendations to senior leadership. This is a role for someone with a strong foundation in investment banking and buyout private equity who wants broader scope and more direct ownership than either seat typically offers.</p> <p><strong>WHAT YOU'LL DO</strong></p> <ul> <li>Own the financial models behind Anduril's financings, strategic transactions, and major investment decisions end-to-end – sizing, structural alternatives, and downside scenarios.</li> <li>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.</li> <li>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 banks, investors, and other external counterparties.</li> <li>Build durable frameworks for capital allocation and investment decisions across new facilities, capacity expansion, vertical integration, and other non-routine commitments.</li> <li>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.</li> <li>Own ambiguous initiatives that have no natural owner.
