At Astrion, we’re looking for an experienced, driven, and purpose-oriented Senior Operational Energy (OE) Financial Analyst/Manager to join our team in support of the Office of Operational Energy Innovation (OE-I) within the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition & Sustainment (OUSD(A&S)).

This is more than a financial management role — it's a chance to shape the way energy powers the future force across air, land, sea, space, and cyber domains. Your work will directly impact how the Department of Defense funds, tracks, and executes over $240 million annually in cutting-edge energy innovation projects that advance strategic readiness, resilience, and mission success.

If you're passionate about making a meaningful contribution to national security, thrive at the intersection of finance, technology, and innovation, and want to help drive real-world impact, we want to hear from you.

As The Senior OE Financial Analyst/Manager, You Will

• Lead the financial oversight of 100+ operational energy innovation projects across all domains, ensuring efficient use and tracking of Military Interdepartmental Purchase Requests (MIPRs).
• Monitor and report on project execution, obligation/expenditure trends, and discrepancies.
• Support the allocation of funding for pioneering energy strategies — including space energy, nuclear innovation, and integrated multi-domain energy roadmaps.
• Provide insightful financial analysis and reporting that informs decisions at the highest levels of the Department of Defense.
• Contribute to the development of policy and strategy documents that shape the future of DoD energy innovation.
  
  

What You’ll Be Doing

• Manage end-to-end MIPR funding processes: documentation, tracking, compliance, and reporting.
• Analyze complex financial data and develop technical recommendations for leadership.
• Collaborate with Service project managers to execute OE innovation initiatives effectively.
• Support budget development and funding strategies for space, cyber, and multi-domain energy programs.
• Draft reports, presentations, and briefings to communicate key financial and strategic insights to senior leaders.
• Assist in developing energy strategy documents that may include classified annexes and direct policy recommendations.
  
  

Your Impact

You’ll play a critical role in:

• Empowering energy innovation that makes U.S. forces more agile, resilient, and sustainable.
• Driving funding decisions that accelerate adoption of emerging technologies in space and across domains.
• Supporting leadership at OUSD(A&S) and Combatant Commands with the data they need to make mission-critical decisions.
• Shaping national defense strategies for operational energy use in the next generation of warfare.
  
  

Qualifications

Required:

• Bachelor’s degree (finance/accounting preferred); Master’s Degree strongly preferred
• 11-15 years of experience in financial management, technical analysis, or defense acquisition support
• Minimum of 5 years of experience with MIPR scheduling and DAI DoD financial systems
• Strong knowledge of DoD Form 7600 series, DoD 7000.14-R Financial Management Regulations
• Exceptional organizational, analytical, and communication skills
  
  

Preferred

• Active TS/SCI clearance
• Experience with OSD-level program offices, space/nuclear energy initiatives, or operational energy portfolios
• Familiarity with DoD acquisition, budgeting, and strategic planning processes
  
  

Work Environment & Travel

• Primarily remote, with periodic travel (10-20%) to the Pentagon, Mark Center, or program sites
• May include domestic and occasional international travel
• Ability to navigate industrial or operational sites, carry light materials for demonstrations or briefings
  
  

Join Axient and become a key player in helping the Department of Defense build the energy future of warfare. Your financial leadership will help turn innovation into real-world capabilities that enhance mission success and protect our nation's strategic edge.
