Swarm Aero is redefining air power, building the largest swarming UAV and the most versatile swarming aircraft network in the world. The company is moving quickly to launch the first aircraft designed specifically for swarming, as well as the Command & Control software to mobilize swarms of thousands of heterogeneous autonomous assets and empower human operators to achieve superhuman results.
The team has created and exited multiple startups, negotiated defense deals worth billions of dollars, and designed and built 30+ novel aircraft, with aerospace experience from Scaled Composites, Airbus, Archer Aviation, Blue Origin, and Boom Supersonic.
The Role
There's a version of a finance career where the playbook is already written, the policies are set, and the job is to run the process. It's comfortable. Well-defined. And for the right person at the right time, exactly what they need.
This isn't that role.
We're looking for someone who has lived inside a scaling startup and arrived with a playbook in hand. You know what good looks like on AP process, company credit card policy, expense controls, and financial reporting because you've built or inherited those systems somewhere between Series B and D. You didn't just execute someone else's framework, you understood it well enough to adapt it when things changed.
On top of that foundation, you have real exposure to manufacturing or a major hardware program. You've thought about inventory finance, cost structures, and what it means to track the money through a physical product. That context matters here. We're building hardware at scale, and the finance function needs to keep up.
