Financial Analyst (Level II)

Application close date: Applications will be accepted on an ongoing basis until the requisition is closed.

At Blue Origin, we envision millions of people living and working in space for the benefit of Earth. We’re working to develop reusable, safe, and low-cost space vehicles and systems within a culture of safety, collaboration, and inclusion. Join our team of problem solvers as we add new chapters to the history of spaceflight!

This role is part of Blue Origin corporate functions, providing centralized support across Blue Origin business unit teams, functions, and locations.

As part of Blue Origin’s Engines Finance team, you will serve as an embedded financial partner developing deep expertise in the business, helping leadership navigate critical cost and performance decisions, and connecting the program to Blue Origin’s long-term financial goals.

We are seeking an analytical, creative, and forward-thinking Financial Analyst who combines rigorous financial fundamentals with strong analytical depth and a drive to improve how the business uses financial information. This is a role defined by partnership and execution: you will turn operational and financial data into clear insights, identify the drivers behind performance, and help leaders understand what is changing.

You are a hands-on problem solver who is comfortable working from source data through the final leadership narrative. You build transparent models, reconcile discrepancies, test assumptions, and create repeatable analyses rather than one-time answers. You use Excel, SQL, BI tools, and controlled AI workflows to extend your reach while maintaining the accuracy expected in a financial environment. You will combine strong controllership instincts with the curiosity and urgency to drive action.

Passion for our mission and vision is required! Ability to work full-time on-site is required, and relocation assistance will be provided.

Responsibilities:

• Support recurring FP&A cycles, including monthly forecasts, quarterly reforecasts, and the annual operating plan

• Perform detailed variance and trend analysis across actuals, forecast, and plan; trace results to operational and transaction-level drivers and clearly identify risks, opportunities, and recommended actions

• Develop a deep working knowledge of your assigned program element, its organizational structure, cost drivers, resource allocation, and how deliverables connect to overall Blue Origin cost goals

• Build and maintain driver-based financial models that translate operational inputs into P&L, headcount, capital; document assumptions and pressure-test outputs

• Maintain financial controls for your scope – cost collection accuracy, charge code integrity, and audit-ready documentation

• Query, reconcile, and validate data from ERP, planning, and modern data platforms; resolve conflicting signals and maintain a clear analytical throughline from source data to the leadership conclusion

• Develop dashboards, visualizations, and recurring reporting that improve self-service, make key drivers visible, and reduce manual effort to increase the speed of insight

• Deliver scenario, sensitivity, and ad-hoc analyses for resource decisions, cost actions, schedule changes, and other business questions

• Apply AI and workflow automation to recurring analysis with documented logic, source traceability, human review, and validation appropriate to a high-accuracy financial environment.

• Partner with finance, accounting, operations, engineering, supply chain, and data teams to improve data quality, close process gaps at the source, and communicate findings to stakeholders

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Business, Finance, Accounting, Economics, engineering, data analytics, or another highly analytical field

• 2+ years of experience in FP&A, corporate finance, program finance, operations finance, or a closely related analytical role

• Demonstrated analytical depth: able to define an ambiguous question, structure the analysis, test assumptions, reconcile conflicting data, and deliver a credible answer

• Strong financial modeling fundamentals, including driver-based forecasting, scenario and sensitivity analysis, and clear linkage between assumptions and outputs

• Advanced proficiency in Excel and practical experience with at least one visualization or analytics platform such as Power BI, Tableau, or an equivalent tool

• Working SQL proficiency and a track record of building repeatable, documented analyses and scalable financial workflows — including automation, reporting improvement, or process redesign — across large, multi-system datasets

• Working GAAP foundation sufficient to connect forecast to actuals and partner effectively with accounting on close, accruals, and reconciliations

• Ability to communicate analytical findings clearly to finance and non-finance stakeholders and distinguish facts, assumptions, judgment, and uncertainty.

• Strong judgment handling sensitive data; audit-ready documentation mindset (controls, evidence, lineage).

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with enterprise planning tools such as Deltek Costpoint, OneStream, Databricks or an equivalent platform

• Experience with D365 Finance or another major ERP in an FP&A, program finance, or operations finance context

• Experience in manufacturing, aerospace, defense, or industrial environments

• Hands-on experience building an AI-assisted or automated workflow in a professional or project context, including output validation and controls

• CPA, CFA, MBA, advanced analytical degree, or equivalent practical experience
