Job summary

Blue Origin's New Glenn Cadence finance team is seeking a Senior Financial Analyst to partner with cadence leadership and manage annual operating plans, forecasts, and cost performance for a high-rate launch program at Rocket Park in Merritt Island, FL.

You will build financial models, analyze operational data, present insights to senior leaders, and mentor junior staff while ensuring accurate month-end close and alignment with manufacturing and launch readiness.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of experience in FP&A, program finance, operations finance, manufacturing finance, or cost management in a capital-intensive environment.
• 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.

Responsibilities

• 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.
