Job description

Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) Analyst

At KBR, we deliver science, technology and engineering solutions to governments and companies around the world. KBR employs approximately 37,000 people worldwide with customers in more than 85 countries and operations in over 28 countries. KBR is proud to work with its customers across the globe to provide technology, value-added services, and long-term operations and maintenance services to ensure consistent delivery with predictable results.

Trinzic is the future independent company to be created through the planned spin-off of KBR's Mission Technology Solutions business, expected in January 2027. Our people work at the frontier of what is possible, delivering solutions in challenging environments and advancing some of the world's highest-priority national security and space missions.

Backed by decades of mission success, deep expertise, and trusted partnerships, Trinzic will launch as a global organization with more than 18,000 employees supporting customers around the world. Join us at a defining moment and help shape the future of a company built to tackle complex challenges and make a meaningful impact.

Candidates who join KBR's Mission Technology Solutions business before the spin-off will transition to Trinzic when the separation is complete and will not need to reapply for employment.

Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) Analyst plays a critical role in driving financial planning, forecasting, budgeting, performance reporting, and strategic decision support. This highly visible position partners closely with finance leaders and business stakeholders to deliver actionable insights, evaluate business performance, and influence key operational and strategic decisions. The role supports the annual budgeting process, periodic forecasts, long-range planning activities, and management reporting while helping shape the financial foundation of a newly independent public company. The ideal candidate combines strong analytical and financial modeling capabilities with intellectual curiosity, business acumen, and the ability to translate complex financial data into meaningful recommendations that drive performance and growth.

This role will support a strategic business unit while partnering closely with the Corporate FP&A organization to drive planning, forecasting, performance reporting, and decision support across the enterprise. Opportunities exist to support either Exploration and Logistics (E&L), which delivers global mission operations, space exploration, engineering, and logistics solutions, or Defense and Intel (D&I), which provides mission-critical capabilities across complex defense, intelligence, and classified environments.

Trinzic is being established as an independent public company through the planned separation of KBR's Mission Technology Solutions business, which is expected to be completed on January 4, 2027. This role offers a rare opportunity to join the organization during a pivotal period of growth and transformation, helping establish and mature the financial planning, forecasting, reporting, and performance management capabilities of a newly independent public company while supporting critical government and commercial missions around the world.

• Partner with business leaders, department budget owners, and cross-functional stakeholders to develop budgets, evaluate financial performance, and provide actionable recommendations.
• Prepare executive-level financial reports, dashboards, and presentations that communicate business performance, highlight emerging trends, and support strategic decision-making by senior leadership.
• Assist in the development and enhancement of financial models, planning tools, and reporting processes to improve forecasting accuracy and operational efficiency.
• Support month-end and quarter-end financial review activities, ensuring data accuracy and timely analysis of results.
• Contribute to the preparation of Annual Operating Plans (AOP), periodic forecasts, long-range plans, and strategic financial analyses.
• Evaluate financial performance against established targets and assist in identifying corrective actions to address budget variances and improve business outcomes.
• Serve as a trusted finance partner to Accounting and business stakeholders, ensuring alignment between financial plans, forecasts, operating performance, and strategic objectives.
• Identify opportunities to improve financial planning, budgeting, forecasting, and reporting processes through automation, standardization, and best practices.
• Assist in evaluating business performance through trend analysis, scenario modeling, and key performance indicators (KPIs), providing insights that support enterprise planning and value creation initiatives.
• Lead and support financial analyses, business cases, and scenario modeling efforts that evaluate strategic initiatives, resource allocations, investments, and growth opportunities.
