Job description

Hermeus is a venture-backed defense aviation company reclaiming the lost art of rapid iterative prototyping to build the fastest aircraft in the world today. By prioritizing relentless hardware iteration, we deliver high-speed systems at the pace of the modern battlefield. We work with the Department of War to provide the high-speed capabilities our nation and its allies need to maintain a durable, asymmetric advantage.

About the role:

We’re looking for a Financial Analyst to join our Finance team and help drive financial decision-making across a fast-growing aerospace and defense technology company.

This role sits at the intersection of finance, engineering, operations, and strategy. You’ll partner directly with business leaders to own budgets and forecasts, analyze program and operating performance, build financial models, and provide the insights needed to make better investment and resource allocation decisions.

This is an opportunity for an analytically strong, detail-oriented finance professional who wants to go beyond traditional reporting and develop a deep understanding of how engineering programs, hardware development, manufacturing, and business operations translate into financial performance.

The salary range listed for this role is intended as a general guideline. Final compensation will be determined based on a variety of factors, including role scope and responsibilities, relevant experience, education and training, key skills, market data, and business needs.

At Hermeus, compensation is only one part of our total rewards package. We offer competitive pay, equity, and a range of benefits designed to support our team.

Benefits:

• Health & Wellness: 100% employer-paid healthcare and pet insurance
• Financial: Competitive pay, stock options, 401(k) retirement plan, and potential year-end bonuses
• Time Off: Paid parental leave, 12 federal holidays, unlimited PTO for exempt employees, and generous accrued PTO for non-exempt employees
• Office Perks: Weekly paid office lunches and fully stocked breakrooms
