Senior Financial Analyst with Security Clearance

Are you ready to launch your career at the intersection of precision finance and national security? Butler Aerospace & Defense is looking for a driven Senior Financial Analyst to join our high-impact Data & Analytics team. In this pivotal role, you will move beyond the spreadsheets to become a true strategic partner, working directly with our Finance Controller to influence the mission-critical decisions that keep our operations running at peak performance. This is a unique opportunity for an ambitious professional to translate complex data into actionable insights while operating in a sophisticated, clearance-level environment that values rigor, integrity, and forward-thinking problem solving.

We are seeking a candidate who thrives on challenges and is eager to bridge the gap between financial theory and real-world aerospace applications. You will serve as the financial backbone for cross-functional teams, providing the guidance necessary to navigate dynamic project lifecycles and complex budgetary requirements. If you have a sharp analytical mind, a passion for data-driven storytelling, and the ability to maintain the high standards required for secure defense contracts, we want to hear from you. Join us in Cedar Rapids—or from the comfort of your remote office—and help us engineer the financial strategies that power the future of defense.
