Job Description

The FP&A Analyst, Program Operations will serve as a key finance partner to our leadership and the operational programs team. This person will work closely with Program Managers across the portfolio to support budgeting, forecasting, cost tracking, revenue planning, financial reporting, and program performance analysis.

Our Program Managers are managing multiple priorities across complex customer work, and this role exists to bring dedicated financial focus to the operational portfolio. The right person will help PMs stay ahead of program financials, identify risks early, support decision making, and provide forward looking insight into program execution.

This is not a back-office reporting role. This person will be embedded in the rhythm of the business, serving as the eyes and ears for program financial health, helping leadership understand where programs stand today and where they are headed.

What You Will Do

• Partner with operational leadership and Program Managers to manage financial performance across Veilant's operational program portfolio.
• Support program budgeting, forecasting, and financial planning efforts across active contracts and customer programs.
• Track program revenue, costs, margins, burn rates, labor utilization, subcontractor spend, travel, materials, and other direct costs.
• Develop and maintain program financial dashboards, reports, and analysis to support leadership decision making.
• Provide forward looking insight into program execution, including risks, opportunities, funding concerns, margin pressure, and forecast changes.
• Help Program Managers understand the financial impact of operational decisions and customer driven changes.
• Support monthly financial reviews, program reviews, and internal reporting cycles.
• Monitor actuals against budgets and forecasts, identifying variances and helping explain the why behind the numbers.
• Work closely with Finance, Accounting, Contracts, and Program Operations to ensure alignment on financial data, contract structure, billing, funding, and reporting.
• Assist with Estimate at Completion updates, revenue forecasting, workforce planning inputs, and program profitability analysis.
• Improve processes, tools, and reporting methods that create better visibility across the operational portfolio.
• Help ensure Veilant maintains strong financial discipline as the company scales.

What We Are Looking For

• Active Top-Secret Clearance is preferred
• Experience in FP&A, program finance, project controls, financial analysis, or a similar finance focused role.
• Experience supporting government contracts, defense programs, technology programs, or professional services environments preferred.
• Strong understanding of budgeting, forecasting, variance analysis, revenue tracking, cost management, and margin analysis.
• Ability to work closely with Program Managers and operational leaders in a fast moving environment.
• Comfortable translating financial data into clear business insights and recommendations.
• Strong Excel skills and experience working with financial systems, reporting tools, or dashboards.
• Ability to identify financial risks early and communicate them clearly.
• Strong attention to detail with the ability to see the bigger picture.
• Comfortable working across Finance, Contracts, Accounting, and Operations.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to build trust with both finance and non finance stakeholders.
• A proactive mindset with the ability to anticipate needs, ask good questions, and drive clarity.

It would be nice if you have

• Experience supporting DoD or Federal Government contracts.
• Familiarity with contract types such as Firm Fixed Price, Time and Materials, Cost Plus, or hybrid contract structures.
• Experience with program financial reporting, Estimates at Completion, project controls, or contract funding analysis.
• Experience working in a growing company where processes are evolving.
• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Business, Economics, or a related field.

Why This Role Matters

Veilant is growing, and with that growth comes greater complexity across our operational programs. This role will help bring financial discipline, visibility, and forward looking insight to the program portfolio.

You will be a trusted partner to the operational team, helping Program Managers stay focused on execution while ensuring leadership has the financial clarity needed to make smart decisions. Your work will directly support program performance, customer delivery, and the continued growth of Veilant.
