About Luna Labs
Luna Labs is a product development company working with leading organizations and key government agencies to create unique solutions for complex challenges in defense, industrial, and healthcare markets. We operate like a self-contained incubator for defense and biotech startups, taking solutions from concept through development to new products in the market. We leverage small business agility and large business capabilities to accelerate breakthrough solutions from concept to early-stage growth. Working with a robust global network of manufacturers, suppliers, licensees, and distributors, Luna Labs develops everything from small-scale prototypes to market-ready products.
The Opportunity
Luna Labs is hiring a Senior Financial Analyst to join our team during a pivotal period of growth. This role combines forward-looking financial analysis with financial reporting and accounting support. You'll build the forecasting models, dashboards, and analytical tools that help leadership make decisions about where to invest, across both government contracts and emerging product lines. This is not a role for someone who wants to run the same reports month after month. We need someone who can look at our business, ask good questions, and build the financial frameworks to answer them.
