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.

This is not a “sit-back-and-report” role — you will build systems, models, and processes from the ground up.

  • 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

  • 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
