Senior Financial Analyst - New Glenn Cadence

Space Coast, FLFull-timePosted Jul 1, 2026

Application close date:

Applications will be accepted on an ongoing basis until the requisition is closed.

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! 

This role is part of Blue Origin corporate functions, providing centralized support across Blue Origin business unit teams, functions, and locations.

We are a team of collaborators, doers, and problem-solvers who are relentlessly committed to the pursuit of safe and repeatable spaceflight. As part of a hardworking team of diverse specialists, technicians, engineers, and program managers, you will support the development of our space vehicles and help enable Blue Origin's vision of millions of people living and working in space to benefit Earth.

New Glenn is Blue Origin's orbital launch program, built around the vehicle, ground systems, manufacturing capability, supply chain, and launch operations required to make reusable spaceflight routine. As the program moves from development and first-flight execution into repeatable launch cadence, the business needs finance leadership that can connect rate, cost, schedule, inventory, capital, and operational readiness into one clear operating picture.

The New Glenn Finance team is a high-performance group, and we are looking for a Senior Financial Analyst to serve as the finance business partner for the New Glenn Cadence organization at Rocket Park in Merritt Island, Florida. This is a Cadence finance role: annual operating plans, quarterly forecasts, cost performance, capital planning, monthly operating reviews, launch-rate metrics, and the financial rhythms that help leadership understand whether the organization is ready to scale.

You will own the Cadence financial rhythm end-to-end. You combine FP&A discipline, operations finance judgment, and enough manufacturing-cost fluency to ask the right questions, pressure-test the answers, and turn ambiguity into actionable recommendations. You partner across operations, supply chain, engineering, launch, accounting, and finance to identify risks and opportunities, translate operating changes into financial impact, and create durable analytical assets the organization can rely on as cadence increases.

Passion for our mission and vision is required. Ability to work full-time on-site at Rocket Park is required, and relocation assistance will be provided.

Responsibilities:

Serve as the primary finance business partner to New Glenn Cadence leadership, providing financial analysis, decision support, and strategic insight across operating, investment, and rate-readiness decisions.
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.

Minimum Qualifications:

Bachelor's degree in finance, accounting, economics, engineering, or another highly analytical field.
8+ years of experience in FP&A, program finance, operations finance, manufacturing finance, or cost management in a capital-intensive environment.
Demonstrated 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.
Must be able to work full-time on-site at Rocket Park in Merritt Island, Florida.
Must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum.

Preferred Qualifications:

MBA, CPA, CFA, or advanced degree in finance, accounting, engineering, or a related analytical field, or equivalent practical experience.
Experience in aerospace, defense, launch vehicle, high-rate manufacturing, or launch operations.
Experience with D365 Finance or similar ERP tools in a program finance, operations finance, manufacturing finance, or cost-center ownership context.
Experience supporting capital planning, infrastructure investment, tooling, production-readiness, or launch-readiness decisions.
Experience with rate/efficiency modeling, unit economics, operating cadence metrics, or investment-style analysis.
Familiarity with launch vehicle or aerospace program economics, including recurring/non-recurring cost structures and the financial impact of rate increases.
Experience leading cross-functional analytical workstreams and influencing stakeholders across finance, accounting, operations, supply chain, engineering, launch, and program leadership.
