Financial Business Analyst
About The Position
Aretum is seeking a senior-level Financial Business Analyst to support a federal government customer with financial management activities. The position partners with government stakeholders and contractor team members to deliver accurate work products, support mission priorities, resolve operational challenges, and maintain documentation in accordance with applicable customer procedures. Specific assignments and tools may vary by contract and work location. Because Aretum is a federal consulting organization, the employee may handle Controlled Unclassified Information and must follow applicable safeguarding and compliance requirements. This proposal-contingent opportunity is dependent on contract award, customer approval if required, and funding availability. The role is based in Vienna, Virginia; onsite expectations and any travel requirements will be determined by the final contract and customer needs. Applicants must be legally authorized to work in the United States and hold a Top Secret security clearance, with continued eligibility and maintenance subject to government requirements. The anticipated annual base salary range is $80,000–$155,000.
