Обязанности
- We are seeking a Senior Strategic Finance Manager to own strategic finance for the Maneuver Dominance division. Reporting to the MD Head of Finance, you will lead the analysis behind MD’s most important decisions — a deep, relentless modeler who lives and breathes in Excel and can take an ambiguous strategic question and build the model that answers it. You will own the full portfolio of strategic finance initiatives across the division: sizing new investments, pressure-testing business cases, running complex scenarios, and tracking the returns on MD’s strategic bets and high-IRAD investments.
- This is both a hands-on modeling role and a leadership one — you will start with one direct report and build out the strategic finance function as the division scales. You’ll partner with business line leaders to translate strategy into numbers, building the models, frameworks, and analyses that shape where MD invests and how it grows. The ideal candidate comes from a background where modeling is a craft — investment banking, private equity, venture capital, or corporate development — and is energized by hard quantitative problems, high stakes, and a fast-moving environment.
Требования
- Bachelor's in Finance, Economics, Engineering, or a related quantitative field; MBA a plus.
- 6+ years in investment banking, private equity, venture capital, corporate development, or strategic finance, with a heavy modeling focus.
- Elite financial modeling skills — fluent in Excel and able to build complex, dynamic models from a blank sheet.
- Deep experience running scenario, sensitivity, and valuation analyses (DCF, NPV/IRR, and returns analysis).
- Proven ability to independently own and drive high-stakes strategic initiatives end to end.
- Experience leading or mentoring analysts, with the readiness to manage and grow a team.
- Strong business judgment — able to turn ambiguous strategic questions into structured analysis and clear recommendations.
- Exceptional written and verbal communication, with the ability to make complex analysis accessible to executives.
- Exceptional PowerPoint skills for building executive-ready decks under tight timelines.
- Intellectually curious, detail-obsessed, and energized by hard quantitative problems in a fast-moving environment.
- Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.
- Must be authorized to work in the United States.
Будет плюсом
- Experience in defense, aerospace, hardware, or another capital-intensive industry.
- Exposure to R&D / IRAD investment analysis or technology and product investment decisions.
- Familiarity with SQL, Python, or BI tools for large-scale data analysis.
