At Blue Origin, we envision millions of people living and working in space
for the benefit of Earth. Were working to develop reusable, safe, and
low-cost space vehicles and systems within a culture of safety,
collaboration, and inclusion. Join our diverse team of problem solvers as we
add new chapters to the history of spaceflight!

This position is part of the Space Systems Development (SSD) business
unit. SSD develops next-generation concepts and systems to advance our future
of living and working in space sustainably.

As a member of a dedicated team of specialists and accomplished experts in
Program Planning & Controls (PP&C), you will execute project
schedule and cost management for SSD Programs and Projects partnered with
Program Managers and Integrated Product Teams (IPTs). Ideally the
successful candidate would be skilled in both cost and schedule management and
this document is written with that intent. However, multiple positions are
available and someone with one skillset or the other will be considered.

You will be responsible for supporting the creation of integrated schedule and
cost baselines in Primavera P6 and Deltek Cobra, which will be used to
execute and measure our projects. This will require clear communication and
strong organizational skills as you solicit inputs on requirements and
dependencies across your assigned programs. Establishing these plans will
involve supporting the development of Work breakdown structures, Integrated
Master Schedules, and the formation of detailed IPT-level schedules. This
position will drive execution to these plans by coordinating status updates,
collecting and inputting schedule performance, performing regular schedule
forecast updates, and providing actionable schedule reporting. You will use
schedule performance data to generate actionable metrics, key performance
indicators, and schedule reporting artifacts to inform IPT leaders and
influence future schedule updates. Your support goes beyond collecting inputs
and reporting as you will drive assigned efforts to execute and hold them
accountable for performance while proactively mitigating roadblocks. A strong
attention to detail and proactive analysis of schedule status and variances is
needed to influence future performance on our projects and deliver project
objectives on schedule and within cost. This position requires you to
implement effective change management to account for approved scope changes,
as well as actively vetting schedule forecast updates for accuracy and
realism, cost estimate to completes (ETC) and Estimate at Complete
(EACs) exercises. As part of the PP&C team, you will also support

cost processes, tools, and reporting. Reporting to the SSD Business
Operations Manager and utilizing your experience in analysis, exemplary
communication, and high attention to detail and accuracy, you will work to
increase the speed and efficiency of our programs by supporting the timely
delivery, quality, and transparency of schedule and cost data to support
program stakeholders including IPT leaders and Program Managers.
