Job description

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!

Overview

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 New Glenn Finance team, you will serve as the embedded financial partner for an engineering or operations program element — knowing the business inside and out, connecting it to Blue Origin’s long-term financial goals, and helping leadership navigate critical cost and performance challenges.

Responsibilities

• Develop a deep working knowledge of your assigned program element — its organizational structure, cost drivers, resource allocation, and how its deliverables connect to New Glenn’s cost-per-flight and launch cadence goals
• Lead financial performance measurement for your element: develop and maintain KPIs, build forecasts aligned to resource requirements, and complete variance analysis that identifies root causes and drives execution decisions
• Build and maintain dashboards and reports that give program leadership self‑service visibility into financial performance — reduce manual reporting burden and increase the speed of insight
• Partner with engineering and operations leaders on investment decisions, headcount requests, and non‑labor spend — evaluate trade‑offs and provide clear financial recommendations
• Identify and lead financial improvement opportunities within your scope: automate recurring workflows, improve data quality at the source, and build repeatable analysis assets that the team depends on
• Support annual operating plan development, forecast cycles, and program reviews (WBR, MBR, QBR) as the accountable financial voice for your element
• Maintain financial controls for your scope — cost collection accuracy, charge code integrity, and audit‑ready documentation are personal standards, not compliance tasks

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Business, Economics, or a STEM field
• 2+ years of experience in financial analysis, program finance, FP&A, or accounting with direct ownership of financial deliverables
• Working knowledge of GAAP concepts (accruals, cost collection, journal entries, reconciliations)
• Proficiency in SQL; demonstrated ability to build repeatable, documented analysis from large multi‑system datasets
• Demonstrated experience building or improving a recurring financial workflow — automation, reporting, or process redesign
• Strong written and verbal communication with non‑finance stakeholders

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with Deltek Costpoint, D365 Finance, Onestream, or Databricks in a program finance context
• Hands‑on experience building an AI‑assisted or automated workflow in a professional or project context, including output validation and controls
• Advanced skills in analytics, including statistics, Monte Carlo simulation, and machine learning
• Proficiency in Python, Tableau, or Power BI
• Experience in manufacturing, aerospace, defense, or industrial environments
• CPA candidate, MBA, or advanced degree in Finance, Engineering, or a quantitative field

Compensation

WA applicants Range: $85,049.00 - $119,067.90 (Other site ranges may differ)

Benefits

• Medical, dental, vision, basic and supplemental life insurance, paid parental leave, short and long‑term disability, 401(k) with a company match of up to 5%, and an Education Support Program
• Paid Time Off: Up to four (4) weeks per year based on weekly scheduled hours, and up to 14 company‑paid holidays
• Dependent on role type and job level, employees may be eligible for benefits and bonuses based on the company's intent to reward individual contributions and enable them to share in the company's results, or other factors at the company's sole discretion. Bonus amounts and eligibility are not guaranteed and subject to change and cancellation. Please check with your recruiter for more details.
