Leidos’ Defense Sector is looking for an experienced Finance & Business Operations Senior Manager to drive financial strategy and operational excellence across the rapidly growing Indirect Fires & Force Protection Business Area.

• Innovation & strategy: Drive margin improvement, AI initiatives, and creative pricing strategies that directly shape program success.
• Compliance & excellence: Ensure financial integrity across FAR/DFARS, CAS, and internal policies while maintaining agility in a fast-paced environment.

What you’ll do:

• Own program finance oversight for a highly strategic portfolio.
• Lead budgeting, forecasting, and monthly/quarterly financial reporting with precision and insight.
• Provide strategic recommendations to enhance performance, mitigate risk, and optimize program execution.
• Partner cross-functionally with Contracts, Procurement, Pricing, HR, and Corporate Finance teams.
• Manage a complex mix of programs and task orders which requires strategic materials management.
• Champion innovative approaches to pricing, invoicing, and financial operations to drive business growth.

What you’ll need:

• Bachelor’s degree in Finance / Accounting or related field and 8+ years of relevant finance operation experience (including several years as manager / lead). Additional years of relevant experience may be considered in lieu of a degree.
• Demonstrated experience supporting a portfolio of government programs, including cost-type, T&M, and fixed-price contracts.
• Strong leadership skills with prior people management or team leadership responsibility.
• In-depth understanding of program control, budgeting, forecasting, and financial analysis.
• Excellent strategic thinker with a track record of driving financial performance and operational efficiency
• Ability to present complex financial data to senior executives in a clear, concise manner.
• U.S. Citizenship required and able to obtain security clearance as needed.

What you’ll also have:

• Experience working in a matrixed organization supporting both line operations and functional objectives.
• Experience with manufacturing programs
• Knowledge of EVM
