About The Position

Boeing's Finance Shared Services is looking for a Mathematics and Modeling Estimating Lead to join our Independent Estimating, Analytics, & Data Intelligence Team at one of our major Boeing Defense sites in Mesa, AZ. Our team seeks a resourceful cost-estimating analyst to develop and maintain independent cost estimates, Estimates at Complete (EAC), and Rough Order of Magnitudes (ROM) that inform strategic proposals and decisions across Boeing Defense, Space & Security and Boeing Global Services. The role combines data analysis, parametric modeling (e.g., SEER, TruePlanning), statistical methods, and risk analysis to produce data-driven estimates, build and enhance estimating databases and tools, and solve problems in data-limited environments. The analyst will collaborate closely with program finance, estimating, and engineering teams, communicate findings and recommendations clearly to executives, and contribute to the organization’s research and estimating strategy. Our ideal candidate is a curious, collaborative problem-solver with strong leadership and communication skills and a team-first mindset. They bring excellent presentation abilities, clearly communicating data, insights, and concise recommendations to peers and senior leadership. Comfortable working in data-limited environments, they solve problems creatively and resourcefully. They have hands-on experience with parametric modeling and estimating, and possess aerospace industry experience and/or familiarity with Government/Department of Defense acquisition processes.
