About The Position

Northrop Grumman Defense Systems (NGDS) is seeking a Business Management Analyst or Principal Business Management Analyst to support its team in McLean, Virginia. The role applies knowledge of government contracting in a finance support capacity, with a primary focus on ensuring that information entered into the SAP accounting system complies with the requirements and information contained in U.S. or non-U.S. government contracts. This is not a Contracts Administrator, Billing Analyst, or Financial Analyst position; it does not administer contracts, prepare or submit invoices, or monitor costs incurred against a U.S. Government contract.

The position reviews contract documentation and establishes contract-compliant structures and master data in SAP. This information supports external financial reporting, compliant customer invoicing, and contractually required cost reporting. The analyst works with contract, business management, program control, financial analysis, and billing colleagues, and contributes to contract setup, resolution of SAP and project-structure issues, special projects, and audits. The role requires attention to detail and the ability to manage competing priorities with little supervision. The position is on-site in McLean, Virginia; travel and relocation assistance are not available.
