Job description

Are you an A&D finance leader who loves building from scratch?

If you're tired of maintaining rigid, legacy systems built decades ago and want to architect a modern, fully compliant government contracting finance infrastructure, this is your greenfield opportunity.

This is a high-growth technology innovator delivering cutting-edge solutions to defense and commercial sectors. They are expanding rapidly, and need a Senior Director of FP&A & Program Finance to serve as the master architect of the financial ecosystem.


What You’ll Own

  • The Blueprint: Build our Program Finance infrastructure from scratch—establishing contract structures (WBS, CLINs), Estimate at Completion (EAC/ETC) models, and standardized performance dashboards.
  • The Math: Architect our government cost accounting model—designing indirect cost pools, allocation bases, forward pricing, and provisional billing rates.
  • The Compliance: Lead our DCAA readiness roadmap, ensuring timekeeping, cost segregation, and labor-charging practices meet FAR/CAS standards.
  • The Tech: Serve as the core Finance lead for our new ERP implementation, translating complex Defense Finance requirements into automated workflows.
  • The Strategy: Partner directly with the CFO to manage corporate budgeting, cash flow modeling, long-range planning, and executive reporting.


What You Bring

  • 12–15+ years of progressive finance leadership in Aerospace, Defense, or US Government Contracting.
  • Hands-on experience building indirect rate pools, cost allocation strategies, and program controls—not just operating within an existing model.
  • Deep knowledge of FAR Part 31, CAS, and DCAA audit preparation.
  • Proven leadership through an ERP implementation within a government contracting environment.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Finance or Accounting required; MBA, CPA, or CMA preferred.
