Business Operations Analyst
Company Overview:
Relativity is the first and only company to automate aerospace manufacturing by integrating intelligent robotics, software, and proprietary metal 3D printing technology. Disrupting 60 years of aerospace, Relativity offers a radically simplified supply chain, building a rocket with 100x fewer parts in less than 60 days. Our long-term goal is to upgrade humanity’s industrial base on Earth and on Mars.
Team:
The Finance & Strategy team works cross-functionally and supports growth, innovation, strategic initiatives, and capital investments. It's a highly impactful and dynamic team that focuses on business strategy, financial plans including budgets and our long-term strategic plan, KPI development and management, materials for our Board of Directors, fundraising and corporate development activities.
Relativity is looking for a talented analyst to join the Finance & Strategy team, who will develop and use tools to inform executive and other leadership decision making. In this role, you will be a highly trusted and independent partner in making smart decisions about how we grow and operate our business. Your work will draw insight from the entire company, including production, supply chain, and engineering. You will establish a first-principles approach to understanding problems such as product cost and factory performance, and then validate actual operations against that analysis. You will report to the Manager of Finance & Strategy.

To help us reimagine the way rockets are built and flown, as Relativity’s first Business Operations Analyst, you will:
- Play a key role in developing business analytics tools that will integrate with the wider company codebase
- Collaborate with engineering and production teams to make critical investment decisions, such as in vehicle design, factory capacity and capabilities
- Collaborate with Accounting to review and interpret financial results, communicate them to key stake holders, such as executives and Relativity’s Board of Directors
- Analyze complex production issues and support engineering in deriving smart and scrappy solutions to keep to production schedule, cost, and quality goals
- Collaborate with IT and other software development teams to draw insight from diverse and disparate data sets
What you need to know:
- Strong financial acumen, either via education (MBA or BS in Finance / Economics / Accounting) or work experience (2-3 years in financial services or corporate finance)
- Outstanding ability to build and interpret information from large and varied data sets
- Exceptional written and verbal communication skills - including the ability to translate complex and ambiguous engineering and production requirements into clear and actionable financial decisions
- An enthusiastic team player with a strong drive to create a positive and productive work environment
- Comfortable with fast-paced and dynamic environments, self-driven prioritization
- Expert in deriving insights from relational databases, such as SQL
- Ability to manage and automate ETL workflows independent of external support
Nice to haves but not required:
- Experience with collaborative software development and version control tools (e.g., git)
- Familiarity with non-relational data structures
- Familiarity with manufacturing-based enterprise applications (e.g., ERP, MES, MRP, etc.)
- 1-2 years of experience in Manufacturing or Industrial Engineering
- An aptitude for conceptualizing data structures and models
