Finance, Master Data Management

About this role

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology. By bringing the expertise, technology, and business model of the 21st century’s most innovative companies to the defense industry, Anduril is changing how military systems are designed, built and sold. Anduril’s family of systems is powered by Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system that turns thousands of data streams into a realtime, 3D command and control center. As the world enters an era of strategic competition, Anduril is committed to bringing cutting-edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to the military in months, not years. ABOUT THE TEAM This role owns ensuring that the master data that Anduril's finance systems run on is accurate from a systems and process standpoint. You sit within Corporate Technology, where we build and integrate the applications, workflows, and data layers that drive operational decision-making across the company. You will work with stakeholders from across Anduril to implement both the policy and the tooling that keep that data trustworthy at scale. WHO YOU ARE You bring order to complexity. You've managed finance master data and associated technology at an organization where getting it wrong meant a broken close, misstated inventory, or suppliers not getting paid & you took that personally. You're comfortable sitting between Finance and Engineering, and you can hold your own in a conversation about cost accounting and about data models. You'd rather build or implement tooling that makes policy easy to follow than write the policy doc and hope people read it. You are motivated by our mission: we are working to solve the biggest problems in defense. WHAT YOU'LL DO • Own the master data inventory for finance — chart of accounts and GL segments, legal entities, cost centers, suppliers, customers, and the item/part and work-order masters that feed inventory valuation and cost accounting. • Define and enforce the policy layer: who owns each domain, who can create or change a record, what validation it must pass, and how changes are reviewed and audited. • Build the applications and automation that make compliance the path of least resistance — request and approval workflows, duplicate detection, validation at entry, and golden-record reconciliation across ERP and the warehouse. • Serve as the control tower for all master data changes that impact finance — running the process end-to-end and ensuring correct data is pushed to all downstream systems. • Establish data stewardship practices with data owners across Finance, Accounting, Supply Chain, and Operations, and lead initiatives that measurably improve data quality, accuracy, and completeness. • Partner with Controllership and FP&A to make month-end faster and the numbers more defensible — attacking the master data problems behind manual reconciliation, mapping spreadsheets, and restated allocations. • Work with the teams building our ERP and analytics platforms so master data flows cleanly from transactional systems into the warehouse and reporting layers. REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS • 6+ years in a master data management focused role — business systems, finance systems, data governance, or a technical consulting role with a strong MDM focus — with proven experience in data architecture. • Exposure to finance and accounting fundamentals: general ledger and chart of accounts structure, cost centers and allocations, and why a monthly close breaks when master data is wrong. You do not need to be an accountant, but you need to be credible with them. • Hands-on experience with an enterprise ERP — Oracle Fusion Cloud strongly preferred; SAP or Infor acceptable. • Exposure to manufacturing or hardware environments: item and BOM masters, work-order costing, standard versus actual cost, and inventory valuation — and how master data errors show up as cost errors. • Technical and hands-on — you write SQL, work in Python, and are comfortable building rather than just specifying. • U.S. Persons status is required as this position needs to access export-controlled data. • Ability to obtain and hold a U.S. Top Secret security clearance. PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS • Experience with a dedicated MDM or data governance platform (Oracle EDM, Informatica), or having stood one up from scratch. • Experience in data warehousing and enterprise data management reporting. • Experience standing up data standards for a company scaling quickly through new entities, sites, or geographies • Familiarity with modern data platforms and analytics tooling (Foundry, dbt, Looker/Tableau).
