About the role
CHAOS Industries is redefining modern defense with a multi-product portfolio that gives the ultimate advantage—domain dominance. The company's products are powered by Coherent Distributed Networks (CDN™), empowering warfighters, commercial air operators, and border protection teams to act faster, adapt rapidly, and stay ahead of evolving threats. CHAOS Industries was founded in 2022 and has raised a total of $1 billion in funding from leading investors, including 8VC, Accel, and Valor Equity Partners. The company is headquartered in Los Angeles, with offices in Washington, D.C., San Francisco, San Diego, Seattle, and London. For more information, please visit www.chaosinc.com . Role Overview: As CHAOS continues to transition from R&D into rate production, we are splitting corporate planning into two peer finance verticals: FP&A and Program Finance, both reporting to the VP of Finance. The Head of FP&A will lead the corporate planning lane, the long-range model, scenario planning, the company-wide forecast process, and the board and investor materials. This is a seat for someone who owns the last mile and delivers the model, the story, and the “so what” in board-ready form. You will lead the existing FP&A team, own our Datarails reporting platform, and partner with the Head of Program Finance, whose program cost forecasts feed your consolidated company plan.
Responsibilities: Own the corporate long-range financial model and scenario planning including revenue, opex, headcount, cash, and funding scenarios, as the company scales into production. Produce board, investor, and executive ready output end to end: analysis, synthesis, narrative, and talking points. Run the company-wide forecast and annual planning process and calendar. Build and scale the department finance-partnering model as the company grows, organizing coverage into functional portfolios with named finance partners. Own the Datarails reporting platform strategy, architecture, dimensions, data feeds, and self-serve reporting Consolidate the company plan, integrating program-level cost forecasts and rate assumptions from Program Finance. Partner with the Growth team and Program Finance on pricing and deal modeling including deal-level economics, pricing scenarios, and margin analysis. Support capital strategy and fundraising: scenario models, sources and uses, and investor-facing financial materials. Manage, develop, and grow the FP&A team as the function scales. Travel: minimal; occasional travel to other CHAOS offices. Minimum
