Space is a warfighting domain. True Anomaly seeks those with the talent and ambition to build the technology that secures it.
OUR MISSION
True Anomaly delivers decisive capabilities for space superiority. We build autonomous spacecraft, advanced payloads, mission software, and space-based interceptors — enabling the U.S. and its Allies to secure the space environment and counter threats from the ultimate high ground.
OUR VALUES

- What would it take? We challenge assumptions to deliver ambitious results.
- It’s the people. Our team is our competitive advantage and we are better together.
YOUR MISSION
True Anomaly's Finance team is seeking a sharp, analytically driven FP&A Senior Analyst / Analyst with a focus on estimating and pricing to support our growing portfolio of spacecraft, software, and payloads. This is a high-impact, high-visibility role embedded at the intersection of business development, program management, and finance where your work directly shapes how we compete for and win critical space superiority contracts.
As an FP&A analyst, you'll partner cross-functionally on both how we win new business (proposal cost builds, pricing strategy) and how we run the business (forecasting, variance analysis, and financial reporting) across a mix of government contract types and emerging commercial opportunities.
What You'll Do
- Build and maintain cost estimates and pricing models for government proposals across fixed-price, cost-plus, and T&M contract structures, incorporating labor, materials, subcontractors, and indirect rates
- Develop and refine wrap rate and indirect rate structures (fringe, overhead, G&A) to support competitive and compliant pricing
- Partner with business development and program managers to craft pricing strategies that balance competitiveness with financial sustainability across hardware (spacecraft, payloads) and software (AI/SaaS) offerings
- Support cost and price analyses to inform bid strategy and internal resource planning
- Assist in building and maintaining financial models for new and existing programs and products, including revenue forecasting, cash flow projections, and scenario analysis
- Key contributor to FP&A planning cycles including annual budgeting, quarterly forecasts, and variance analysis at the program and business unit level
- Support preparation of each enterprise- and program-level financial reporting for internal leadership and external stakeholders
- Partner cross-functionally with program finance, program managers, and operations to provide forward-looking insights on contract performance and pipeline conversion
- Help develop pricing frameworks for software and service offerings, including recurring revenue, licensing, and usage-based models where applicable
- Leverage and help improve FP&A tools and data pipelines to increase the speed and accuracy of estimates and financial models
Required Qualifications
- 2–4 years of experience in FP&A, cost estimating, pricing, or program finance within the U.S. defense, aerospace & defense, or government contracting sector
- Strong financial modeling skills in Excel; comfortable working with large, complex datasets
- Proficiency in indirect rate structures and wrap rate development, including fringe, overhead, and G&A
- Hands-on experience building cost estimates and price-to-win models for government proposals
- Understanding of government contract structures: cost-plus (CPFF, CPIF), firm fixed price (FFP), and time & materials (T&M)
- Ability to communicate financial concepts clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders alike
Preferred Qualifications
- Working knowledge of FAR/DFARS and the financial implications of compliance in cost estimating and pricing
- Experience pricing or modeling hardware + software hybrid programs (e.g., a platform with an embedded software/AI component)
- Familiarity with ASC 606 revenue recognition and its application to both government contracts and software/SaaS models
- Exposure to SaaS, licensing, or usage-based revenue models in a defense or dual-use technology context
- Familiarity with DCAA audit requirements and cost accounting standards (CAS)
- Experience at an early-stage or growth-stage defense technology company
- Curiosity about and openness to AI-enabled tools that improve financial modeling, estimating, or reporting workflows
