What is a Financial Analyst at Viasat?
As a Financial Analyst at Viasat, you play a critical role in shaping the financial future of a global leader in satellite communications. Viasat operates at the intersection of cutting-edge technology and complex infrastructure, delivering high-speed internet and secure connectivity to commercial aviation, residential markets, military operations, and enterprise customers worldwide. Because the business relies on massive capital investments—such as designing, building, and launching next-generation satellite constellations—financial planning and analysis require an exceptional level of strategic foresight and analytical precision.
Your work in this role directly influences how Viasat allocates resources, manages risk, and drives profitability across its diverse business segments. Whether you are embedded within a specific business unit, supporting corporate finance, or analyzing capital expenditures, you will be responsible for translating complex operational data into actionable financial insights. You will partner with engineering, product management, and operational teams to build robust forecasting models, track program performance, and evaluate the financial viability of new technological initiatives.
To succeed, you must look beyond the numbers to understand the operational drivers of a high-tech, capital-intensive business. The role demands a balance of rigorous technical accounting knowledge, advanced financial modeling capabilities, and strong communication skills. You will not just report on the past; you will help steer the strategic direction of Viasat by providing the financial clarity needed to navigate a rapidly evolving aerospace and defense landscape.
