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. 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 New Glenn Finance team is a high-performance group, and we are looking for a senior individual contributor to own product cost and launch unit economics. The foundation is in place: product-cost and launch-economics infrastructure the business runs on today. This role is about enabling controls & insights at scale as flight cadence grows, working with supply chain, operations, accounting peers to continually raise the bar. You will own this problem space end-to-end. You combine deep cost accounting fluency, standard costing, MRP, launch unit economics, with the ability to trace a transaction from source system to its impact on the P&L and back. You are technology-enabled first: AI is your primary leverage, and you know how to use it to extend your reach. Partner with data engineering to build requirements and features into upstream systems. Above all, you generate insight, where the team’s picture of cost dynamics is incomplete, you build the dashboards, visualizations, and analyses that close the gap. Passion for our mission and vision is required. Ability to work full-time on-site is required, and relocation assistance will be provided. Responsibilities: * Own product cost and cost-per-flight reporting end-to-end: define methodology, maintain the models, and serve as the authoritative source for launch unit economics across finance and operations stakeholders. * Sustain and evolve MRP-integrated cost models that accurately reflect BOM structure, routing, and actuals; identify and resolve disconnects between planning inputs and financial outputs. * Direct launch cost accounting in partnership with the accounting team, including cost capitalization, accruals, and inventory close, providing the methodology, structure, and analytical backing rather than executing every journal entry yourself. * Generate insight, not just reports: build dashboards, visualizations, and analyses that close gaps in the team’s understanding of launch cost dynamics; design for reuse and stakeholder self-service. * Connect transaction-level cost data to program and company-level financial outcomes; maintain the analytical throughline between forecast, detailed actuals, and the financial statements so leadership always understands what is moving and why. * Apply AI tooling, automating recurring analysis, accelerating ad-hoc deliverables, and extending the team’s analytical capacity, with documented controls, human-in-the-loop review, and validation appropriate to a high-accuracy financial environment. * Partner with engineering, supply chain, and operations to decompose cost drivers at the component and assembly level; translating technical program changes into financial impacts quickly and credibly. * Identify and close gaps in data quality, systems integration, and cost process coverage; partner with process owners to fix issues upstream rather than working around them. * Mentor junior analysts on the team; raise the analytical bar through example, model review, and direct coaching. Minimum Qualifications: * Bachelor’s degree in finance, accounting, economics, engineering, or another highly analytical field. * 8+ years of experience in product cost, cost accounting, FP&A, or operations finance in a capital-intensive or manufacturing environment. * Deep working knowledge of standard costing, MRP/ERP systems, BOM structures, and manufacturing cost accounting mechanics (variance analysis, inventory valuation, overhead absorption). * Strong GAAP foundation: experienced enough with journal entries, account reconciliations, and close deliverables to direct and review accounting work even where you are not executing it. * Demonstrated ability to connect transaction-level data to the full financial picture, tracing actuals through the income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow, and communicating those connections clearly to leadership. * Technology-enabled first: fluent with modern analytical tooling and AI/LLM workflows as a daily leverage point, including structured prompting, output validation, and controls documentation. You do not need to write production SQL or Python, but you understand the platforms (Databricks or equivalent) well enough to direct work and partner with data engineering. * Track record of producing reusable, documented analytical assets that others rely on, not one-off analyses. * Track record of operating as a senior individual contributor: defining the question, sourcing the data, and delivering a credible answer in ambiguous, evolving environments. * Demonstrated ERP experience in a cost accounting or program finance capacity. * Must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum. Preferred Qualifications: * Experience with D365 Finance in a product cost, inventory, or manufacturing finance context. * Experience with financial modeling frameworks, 3-statement models, unit economics, or investment-style analysis, that reinforce the ability to connect operational data to enterprise financial outcomes. * CPA, CFA, MBA, or advanced degree in finance, accounting, or engineering, or equivalent practical experience. * Familiarity with launch vehicle or aerospace program economics, including recurring/non-recurring cost structures and rate/efficiency modeling. * Experience leading cross-functional analytical workstreams.   Base Pay Range for: WA applicants is $124,476.00 - $174,265.35 Other site ranges may differ Culture Statement Don’t meet all desired requirements?
