About this role
At SpaceX's Austin headquarters, this Finance Manager role sits at the intersection of financial planning and operational execution, with direct influence on how the company allocates resources across its product lines. You'll own spending analysis and contract profitability for all business units, working across production, engineering, sales, and executive leadership to translate financial data into decisions that drive the company's rapid growth. The position demands someone comfortable moving between detailed spreadsheet analysis and high-level strategic conversations, identifying resource needs, tracking KPIs against productivity targets, and flagging spending variances that matter to the business.
The ideal candidate brings at least six years in finance, business operations, or a related field, ideally from fast-moving manufacturing or tech environments where scaling matters. Technical skills—ERP systems, SQL, advanced Excel modeling—are valuable, as is the ability to communicate complex analysis clearly to non-finance teams. A master's degree is preferred but not required. You'll need to be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident due to ITAR export control requirements, and you should expect to work extended hours and weekends when needed. This is a full-time, onsite role in Austin with no remote flexibility.
