As Astranis’s Financial Analyst, you will partner cross-functionally across engineering, program management, and business teams to ensure financial discipline and clarity as we scale. We are seeking an analysis-driven finance professional who thrives at budgeting, forecasting, and tracking program spend while driving accountability across company initiatives.

You are an ideal candidate if you have strong analytical skills, can manage detailed financial models, and are eager to balance an analysis-heavy workload with strategic business partnership. You should be motivated by tracking program budgets, evaluating cost trade-offs, and improving transparency into how Astranis invests its resources.

• Support the monthly and quarterly close process in coordination with Accounting and Finance.

Requirements

• 1–3 years of financial planning & analysis (FP&A) or corporate finance experience.
• Bachelor’s degree in finance, accounting, economics, or a related field.
• Strong financial modeling, Excel, and reporting skills, with experience managing budgets and project/program spend tracking.
• Detail-oriented mindset with the ability to "zoom out" and provide strategic insights to business leaders.
• Demonstrated ability to work cross-functionally, bridging the gap between data analysis and operational decision-making.
