Job Description:
We’re looking for a Director of FP&A Digitization to accelerate Finance’s transformation through modern data architecture, automation, and enterprise AI. This leader will sit at the intersection of Finance, Engineering, and Product—owning the platforms, data foundations, and AI capabilities that future‑proof how FP&A plans, forecasts, and drives decisions across the company.
This role is ideal for someone who blends financial acumen with technical depth, enjoys building from zero‑to‑one, and thrives in a fast‑moving, iterative environment.
Lead GTM Finance Analyst
Lead GTM Finance Analyst
Job Description:
We are building advanced autonomous systems that redefine the future of defense and national security. Scaling a mission-driven company at this pace requires financial precision, rapid insight, and a data backbone built for speed and accuracy.
We are hiring a GTM Finance business partner to support Sales, Business Development, Marketing, and Customer Success. This is a hybrid role across finance, data engineering, and operational strategy — ideal for someone who moves confidently between modeling, systems, and decision-making.
You will own the end-to-end GTM cost structure: OpEx budgets, headcount planning, spend analytics, and the data pipelines and reporting frameworks that power GTM intelligence. You’ll also set the SOPs and data quality standards that shift finance from reactive reporting to proactive leadership.
If you thrive in high-stakes environments and believe finance should steer the business — not just record it — you’ll excel here.
