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

We are seeking an analytical, creative, and forward-thinking Financial Analyst (Level II) to improve the quality, speed, and consistency of insights provided to business leadership. This is a builder role: you will often start with ambiguous questions, imperfect data, and multiple stakeholders, and you will create structure, a point of view, and repeatable, auditable solutions. You will combine strong finance and accounting fundamentals with modern analytics, automation, and data visualization tools to provide solutions. You will support the Engine Product Costing and Execution team, developing and interacting with them for reviewing and analyzing engine product and production costs and variances. Your efforts will aim to identify trends and opportunities for cost savings.

Passion for our mission and vision is required!

  • Mine and reconcile data across systems; improve data quality through root-cause analysis and upstream fixes with process owners.

  • Strong SQL skills, including querying large, complex datasets and optimizing queries.
  • Experience using Python for data transformation, automation, or analysis.
  • Experience building repeatable, well-documented analyses and/or automated reporting from large datasets.
