ABOUT THE JOB
As Finance Director for Fury, you'll own the financial strategy, planning, and execution for a program that spans R&D, flight test, production ramp, and fielded operations — often simultaneously. You'll be a true partner to the program managers, engineering leads, and Autonomous Airpower's leadership team, translating technical and schedule realities into financial plans that enable speed rather than slow it down.

Recruit, develop, and lead a growing team of program finance analysts and cost estimators as the program scales.
