Senior Finance Manager, International Business in London

At Slingshot Aerospace, we're on a mission to make space safer and more secure for everyone. Our work directly impacts global security, disaster response, climate monitoring, and the critical infrastructure that connects our world.

Slingshot Aerospace is looking for a Senior Finance Manager to support the continued growth of our international business. In this role, you will directly support the General Manager of Slingshot International and be responsible for the daily finance and business operations.
