Financial Analyst II - Engines
About The Position
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. As part of Blue Origin’s Engines Finance team, you will serve as an embedded financial partner for the BE-3U program – developing deep expertise in the business, helping leadership navigate critical cost and performance decisions, and connecting the program to Blue Origin’s long-term financial goals. We are seeking an analytical, creative, and forward-thinking Financial Analyst (Level II) who combines rigorous financial fundamentals with modern analytics and a drive to improve how the business uses financial information. This is a role defined by partnership and execution: you will develop the financial picture of a complex program element, build the tools and reports that give your partners real-time visibility, and identify improvement opportunities before they are assigned to you. You will combine strong controllership instincts with the curiosity and urgency to drive action. Passion for our mission and vision is required! Ability to work full-time on-site is required, and relocation assistance will be provided.

- Bachelor’s degree in Business, Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a STEM field
- 2+ years of experience in financial analysis, program finance, FP&A, or accounting with direct ownership of financial deliverables

- Proficiency in SQL; demonstrated ability to build repeatable, documented analysis from large multi-system datasets
- Demonstrated experience building or improving a recurring financial workflow — automation, reporting, or process redesign
- Strong written and verbal communication with non-finance stakeholders
- Strong judgment handling sensitive data; audit-ready documentation mindset (controls, evidence, lineage)

Responsibilities
- Develop a deep working knowledge of your assigned program element, its organizational structure, cost drivers, resource allocation, and how deliverables connect to overall Blue Origin cost goals
- Lead financial performance measurement for your element: develop and maintain KPIs, build forecasts aligned to resource requirements, and complete variance analysis that identifies root causes and drives execution decisions
- Build and maintain dashboards and reports that give program leadership self-service visibility into financial performance, reduce manual reporting burden and increase the speed of insight
- Partner with engineering and operations leaders on investment decisions, headcount requests; evaluate trade-offs and provide clear financial recommendations
- Identify and lead financial improvement opportunities within your scope: automate recurring workflows, improve data quality at the source, and build repeatable analysis assets that the team depends on
- Support annual operating plan development, forecast cycles, and program reviews as the accountable financial voice for your element
- Maintain financial controls for your scope – cost collection accuracy, charge code integrity, and audit-ready documentation are personal standards, not compliance tasks
