ABOUT THE TEAM
Air Dominance & Strike (AD&S) delivers autonomous aircraft, advanced effects, and mission autonomy software. Program Finance partners with Program Management, Engineering, Operations, and Contracts to ensure program execution translates into predictable financial outcomes—through disciplined forecasting, contract-compliant reporting, and decision-quality analytics as programs scale from development into production and sustainment.
ABOUT THE JOB
As a Manager, Program Finance, you will own end-to-end financial leadership for a single or several complex Commercial and U.S. Government / DoD programs across multiple contract types (e.g., CPFF/FFP/T&M). You will lead and support the operating cadence for program financial management—Product costing, Capital deployment, EAC rigor, funding/billing discipline, and leadership-ready insights—and scale the processes, tooling, and talent needed to support rapid growth. There are multiple skillsets that can be successful in this role, with a few examples: Development background with EVMS knowledge, Production with manufacturing finance experience, and sustainment backgrounds also appreciated.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
- Own program financial performance for a single or several complex commercial and government contracts across different contract types; drive predictable outcomes from award through execution and closeout.
- Lead EAC and forecast governance: set standards, build/maintain EACs, drive variance/root-cause analysis, and manage risk/opportunity tracking with mitigation actions.
- Partner deeply with Program Management and Contracts on CLIN structure, funding, burn, billing/invoicing, contract modifications, and required program financial reporting.
- Lead monthly FP&A forecasting process with a focus on understanding program changes that drive financial changes.
- Drive production and unit-economics insights: margin and COGS analysis, inventory and working-capital impacts, production variances, and cost-reduction opportunities with Ops/Supply Chain.
- Support planning deliverables (AOP/LRP) for your program(s): consolidate bottoms-up program outlooks (revenue, cost, margin, working capital) and align to leadership commitments.
