Standard Job Description

Take advantage of this opportunity to support a large standalone program at Lockheed Martin’s legendary Skunk Works division. We are seeking a Senior Material Cost Integrator (E3) to join the Program Finance team. In this senior-level role, you will be one of the primary analysts responsible for Material Earned Value Management (MEVM) within the program. Your day‑to‑day duties will include:

• Maintain the material baseline – load, validate, and update material cost data in SAP and Deltek Cobra; ensure accurate Grouping‑Pegging‑Distribution (GPD) alignment with program demand. Support occasional rebaseline efforts and bi-annual Comprehensive Estimate At Completion (CEAC) exercises.
• Perform variance and EAC analyses – identify material‑cost variances, trace root causes, and recommend corrective actions in coordination with the assigned Control Account Manager (CAM) and IPT Lead.
• Data analytics & reporting – extract, manipulate, and visualize large material‑cost data sets; produce routine and ad‑hoc reports that support decision‑making for senior leadership.
• Supply‑chain interface – work closely with supply‑chain, manufacturing, and logistics partners to reconcile material receipts, issue tracking, and inventory status. Reconcile the financial aspects of material supply and demand.
• Collaborate with cross‑functional teams – partner with CAMs, IPT Leads, engineering, manufacturing, and supply chain management to ensure material‑cost information is timely, accurate, and aligns with overall program schedule.
• Mentor junior analysts (as needed) – provide informal guidance and share best practices with newer cost‑integration staff.

The selected candidate will play a critical role in delivering accurate, actionable material‑cost information that keeps the program on budget and on schedule while supporting the broader Material Earned‑Value Management strategy.
