Senior Financial Analyst - New Glenn Cadence

About the role

This role is part of Blue Origin corporate functions, providing centralized support across Blue Origin business unit teams, functions, and locations. We are a team of collaborators, doers, and problem-solvers who are relentlessly committed to the pursuit of safe and repeatable spaceflight.

Responsibilities

• Serve as the primary finance business partner to New Glenn Cadence leadership, providing financial analysis, decision support, and strategic insight across operating, investment, and rate-readiness decisions.
• Lead annual operating plan, quarterly forecast, and long-range planning processes for the Cadence organization; connect operational assumptions to financial outcomes and highlight the decisions leadership needs to make.
• Own Cadence cost-center performance, including budget-versus-actual reporting, variance analysis, forecast bridges, risks and opportunities, and leadership-ready explanations of what is moving and why.
• Partner with operations, supply chain, engineering, and launch teams to translate cadence plans, throughput constraints, staffing, materials, and infrastructure needs into credible financial models.
• Prepare and present monthly financial reviews and executive-level briefings that turn complex operating and financial data into clear recommendations.
• Develop and maintain KPIs aligned to launch cadence milestones, operational throughput, cost productivity, capital deployment, and readiness to scale.
• Support capital planning and tracking for Rocket Park infrastructure, tooling, production, and launch-readiness investments, including business-case support and financial controls.
• Collaborate with Accounting to support accurate month-end close, accruals, capitalization, and financial reporting for the Cadence organization.
• Identify cost, process, and data-quality opportunities that improve Cadence financial predictability; partner with process owners to fix issues upstream rather than working around them.
• Mentor junior finance team members and raise the analytical bar through model review, documentation, coaching, and example.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in finance, accounting, economics, engineering, or another highly analytical field.
• 8+ years of experience in FP&A, program finance, operations finance, manufacturing finance, or cost management in a capital-intensive environment.
• Demonstrated experience supporting manufacturing, operations, production, launch, or similarly complex organizations with financial planning, cost performance, and decision-support responsibilities.
• Strong financial planning and analysis foundation, including annual planning, forecasting, variance analysis, cost-center management, executive reviews, and risk/opportunity tracking.
• Working knowledge of ERP/MRP environments and manufacturing finance concepts, including standard cost, inventory, accruals, capitalization, and operating-cost drivers.
• Ability to connect operational activity to financial outcomes, tracing actuals through forecast, budget, financial statements, and operating metrics.
• Ability to synthesize complex financial data into clear, actionable narratives for non-finance stakeholders and brief senior leadership with credibility.
• Track record of operating as a senior individual contributor: defining the question, sourcing the data, managing ambiguity, and delivering a credible answer in a fast-paced environment.
• Experience building reusable, documented analytical assets such as models, dashboards, review packages, or planning tools that others rely on.
• Must be able to work full-time on-site at Rocket Park in Merritt Island, Florida.
• Must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum.

• Ability to work full-time on-site at Rocket Park is required, and relocation assistance will be provided.

Skills

• Potential to lead cross-functional analytical workstreams and influence stakeholders across finance, accounting, operations, supply chain, engineering, launch, and program leadership.
