Senior Program Finance Analyst (R6483)

What you'll do

Own assigned program finance deliverables

• Maintain recurring forecasts and EAC schedules, incorporating validated inputs from Program Management, Engineering, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, and other functional owners.
• Coordinate input deadlines, follow up on missing information, and investigate assumptions that appear incomplete or inconsistent.
• Analyze actuals against forecasts and budgets; explain cost, timing, and schedule-related changes and prepare clear program reporting.
• Investigate variances directly with stakeholders, resolve routine discrepancies, and escalate material risks, assumption changes, or unresolved questions.
• Own assigned deliverables through completion, with appropriate review of significant changes and leadership-facing conclusions.

Connect execution data to lifecycle analysis

• Translate program actuals, forecasts, milestones, and operational assumptions into inputs for product lifecycle financial models.
• Reconcile program-level information with assumptions across RDT&E, Production, and Sustainment, maintaining traceability to source data.
• Help explain differences between an individual program's performance and broader product economics.
• Work with team members to assess whether execution results warrant changes to longer-term assumptions, recognizing that one program may not represent the entire product.

Build and improve financial analyses

• Develop and maintain Excel templates, supporting schedules, and moderately complex analyses, including work that begins with incomplete inputs.
• Use transparent formulas, consistent structures, documented assumptions, and checks that make analysis understandable and reviewable.
• Conduct scenario and sensitivity analyses with guidance; communicate findings, uncertainties, and implications clearly.
• Improve recurring spreadsheets and workflows to reduce manual effort and strengthen reliability.
• Build, maintain, and scale financial models used for forecasting, budgeting, and long-term planning
