Job description
AnySignal is a startup whose mission is to usher in the next generation of RF products and services. For the most demanding space and defense missions, AnySignal provides a flexible platform with world-class performance that is easy to deploy, monitor, purchase, and upgrade.

Our team has a diverse range of backgrounds that cover cloud computing to communications and sensing, embedded systems, and much more.

We’re seeking a highly analytical, execution-focused FP&A Manager to join our lean, high-impact finance team at AnySignal. In this role, you will own financial planning, reporting, and visibility across a rapidly scaling company operating in complex, capital-intensive environments. You’ll lead budgeting, forecasting, and performance management processes that enable fast, confident decisions by our leadership team and Board of Directors. This is not a “sit-back-and-report” role — you will build systems, models, and processes from the ground up. We’re looking for someone who can dive deep, operate with incomplete information, and help shape the financial backbone of a company scaling quickly with increasing operational and reporting complexity.

  • Redesign, build, refine, and maintain detailed financial models, including: Long-term projections, Annual operating budgets, Budget vs. actual analysis, and Scenario & sensitivity modeling

  • Prepare and support monthly and quarterly reporting for: Executive leadership, Board of Directors, and Investors
  • Develop, track, and maintain KPIs and dashboards used by leadership and the board
  • Partner cross-functionally with sales, engineering, operations, supply chain and other teams to track: Spend vs. plan, Headcount forecasts, Program and project budgets and Capital allocation decisions
  • Actively support and drive NetSuite enhancements to improve data quality, structure, and reporting reliability
  • Design and implement scalable FP&A tools, dashboards, and processes as the company grows
  • Serve as a thought partner to leadership on strategic initiatives, trade studies, and business decisions
  • Help lay the foundation for a scalable FP&A function as AnySignal continues to grow

Basic Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience in FP&A, strategic finance, investment banking, management consulting, corporate finance, or similar roles
  • Experience in hardware, manufacturing, aerospace/defense, or high-growth startups strongly preferred
  • Advanced financial modeling skills and strong command of Excel (or Google Sheets); experience with ERP and BI tools strongly preferred
  • Hands-on experience working with NetSuite or similar ERP systems
  • Proven ability to work cross-functionally, gather inputs, pressure-test assumptions, and drive clarity
  • High level of ownership, urgency, and comfort operating in a fast-changing environment
  • Ability to distill complex technical and financial information into clear, actionable insights for leadership

Preferred Experience

  • Experience supporting investor and board-level reporting
  • Exposure to early-stage or scaling operational environments
  • Experience improving financial systems, data quality, and reporting infrastructure
  • Interest in working on in the space and defense sector on technically complex products and long-term strategic programs

Leadership Qualities

  • Bias to Action & Creative Problem Solving
  • High Commitment & Ownership
  • Clear Communicator
