You will support development and documentation of mitigations plans, and monitor progress of these plans throughout the program lifecycle as well as lead risk review boards at the integrated product team and program-levels. As such, you must be an excellent listener with strong discussion facilitation skills who will seek to understand the purpose behind each identified risk and provide coaching to improve the quality of future assessments. Level of this role will be determined based on technical ability and experience. Your role is pivotal to development and sustainment of a strong risk management culture.
In this role, you will collaborate with risk managers and key stakeholders across the Blue Origin to continuously improve the effectiveness of these processes, tools, and training. Your work will enable programs to proactively adjust plans to ensure successful development and operation of complex and innovative engines for various spaceflight applications. You must have a passion for improving metrics and reporting systems that provide programs valuable insight into their risk posture, as well as the effectiveness of the risk process across programs. We are looking for someone to apply their technical expertise, leadership skills, and commitment to quality to positively impact safe human spaceflight. Passion for our mission and vision is required!
