Full Job Description
Application close date:
Applications will be accepted on an ongoing basis until the requisition is closed.

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

Job Profile:

We are a team of collaborators, doers, and problem-solvers who are relentlessly committed to the pursuit of safe and repeatable spaceflight. As part of a hardworking team of specialists, technicians, engineers, and program managers, you will support the development of our space vehicles and help enable Blue Origin's vision of millions of people living and working in space to benefit Earth.

The FP&A team is a high-performance group, and we are looking for a Financial Analyst III to support our financial controls, provide OneStream management support, and deliver high-quality forecasts. When infrastructure or process problems arise, you take steps to mitigate them rather than just flagging them. You are comfortable with AI, and you have experience working with SQL to automate recurring work and extend your reach.

Passion for our mission and vision is required. Ability to work full-time on-site is required, and relocation assistance will be provided.

Responsibilities:
  • Support recurring FP&A cycles (monthly forecast, quarterly reforecast, and annual operating plan) for an assigned business area; contribute variance analysis, driver commentary, and forward-looking risks and opportunities to leadership.
  • Build and maintain financial models that translate operational drivers into P&L, headcount, and cash impact; pressure-test assumptions and keep the link between drivers and outputs transparent.
  • Generate insight, not just reports: build dashboards, visualizations, and analyses that close gaps in the team's understanding of financial performance; design for reuse and stakeholder self-service.
  • Apply AI tooling to automate recurring analysis, accelerate ad-hoc deliverables, and extend your analytical capacity, with documented controls, human-in-the-loop review, and validation appropriate to a high-accuracy financial environment.
  • Reconcile data directly from source systems; partner with data engineering on requirements when work needs to move upstream.
  • Connect transaction-level data to program and company-level financial outcomes; maintain the analytical throughline between forecast, actuals, and the financial statements so leadership always understands what is moving and why.
  • Identify and close gaps in data quality, reporting coverage, and process; fix issues at the source rather than working around them.
  • Produce reusable, documented analytical assets (models, queries, dashboards) that other analysts and partners rely on.


Minimum Qualifications:
  • Bachelor's degree in finance, accounting, economics, engineering, or another highly analytical field.
  • 5-7 years of experience in FP&A, corporate finance, or operations finance, including hands-on involvement in recurring forecast and budget cycles.
  • Strong financial modeling fundamentals: 3-statement mechanics, driver-based forecasting, scenario and sensitivity analysis, unit economics.
  • Working GAAP foundation sufficient to read the financials, tie forecast to actuals, and partner credibly with accounting on close and accruals.
  • Demonstrated ability to connect transaction-level data to the full financial picture (tracing actuals through the income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow) and communicate those connections clearly to leadership.
  • Working SQL fluency: able to write your own queries against a modern data platform (Databricks, Snowflake, or equivalent) without waiting on data engineering for routine pulls.
  • Expert-level proficiency in your analytics tool of choice (Excel, Power BI, Tableau, or equivalent) for building dashboards and analyses stakeholders use.
  • Track record of producing reusable, documented analytical assets that others rely on, not one-off analyses.
  • Track record of operating as an individual contributor in ambiguous, evolving environments: defining the question, sourcing the data, and delivering a credible answer.


Preferred Qualifications:
  • Experience with enterprise planning tools (OneStream, Anaplan, Oracle EPM, or equivalent).
  • Experience with D365 Finance or another major ERP in an FP&A or operations finance context.
  • Experience building or extending automation with AI agents, scripting, or workflow tools beyond off-the-shelf chat interfaces.
  • CPA, CFA, MBA, or advanced degree in finance, accounting, or engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
  • Familiarity with capital-intensive, manufacturing, or aerospace program economics.

WA applicants is $104,027.00 - $145,637.10

  • Paid Time Off: Up to four (4) weeks per year based on weekly scheduled hours, and up to 14 company-paid holidays.
  • Dependent on role type and job level, employees may be eligible for benefits and bonuses based on the company's intent to reward individual contributions and enable them to share in the company's results, or other factors at the company's sole discretion.
