Hermeus is a venture capital-backed aerospace and defense technology company. The business is focused on building high-speed products that sustainably deliver asymmetric advantage to the Department of Defense and allied partners. Utilizing an iterative development approach to aircraft, Hermeus’ high-Mach and hypersonic aircraft aim to deliver capabilities at a pace not seen in the U.S. since the 1950s.
We are seeking a highly motivated Finance Manager to join our growing team. This individual will be a key business partner across engineering, operations, and leadership—driving clarity through forecasting, enabling resource scaling, and supporting investment in production capacity. The ideal candidate has a strong FP&A foundation, thrives in a fast-paced hardware environment, and enjoys shaping processes as much as delivering insight.
Responsibilities:
- FP&A Leadership: Lead budgeting, forecasting, and variance analysis across company functions, with a focus on hardware R&D, engineering, and operations.
- Hardware-First Business Modeling: Partner with technical teams to model program costs, NRE, and capital expenditures as we transition from prototype to production.
- Business Partnering: Serve as a strategic finance partner to engineering, supply chain, and operations - enabling data-driven decision-making.
- Scenario Planning: Develop and maintain dynamic models for product launches, production scaling, and fundraising support.
- Financial Systems & Process: Help mature internal FP&A processes and systems to support multi-year planning, reporting automation, and program profitability tracking.
- Cross-Functional Influence: Collaborate with technical and operational teams to ensure our near-term resourcing is aligned and sufficient to support our long-term strategic plan.
Qualifications:
- 6+ years of experience in FP&A, strategic finance, or related roles; experience in defense, aerospace, or hardware-intensive startups is highly preferred.
- Strong understanding of hardware R&D lifecycles, new product introduction, and manufacturing concepts.
- Demonstrated success in budgeting, forecasting, and building scalable financial models.
- Proven ability to partner cross-functionally and translate technical plans into financial outcomes.
- Advanced proficiency in Excel and financial modeling; experience with tools like Adaptive Insights or similar is a plus.
- Experience supporting Series B-D startup growth stages and capital deployment planning is a plus.
- Eligibility for a security clearance may be required depending on program needs.
