About this role

Ursa Major is hiring a Staff Business Operations Analyst, full-time, on-site in Berthoud, Colorado, in the Aerospace sector.

The future of aerospace and defense starts here.


Ursa Major was founded to revolutionize how America and its allies access and apply high-performance propulsion, from hypersonics to solid rocket motors, satellite maneuvering and launch. We design and deliver propulsion and defense systems that solve the most urgent and critical national security demands.

The Role

The Staff Business Operations Analyst serves as the President’s right hand, connecting financial, operational, and strategic efforts across the company. You’ll take on a wide range of high-impact, one-off projects, turning complex information into clear, decision-ready insights that help the President make faster, more accurate calls to grow the business.

What You’ll Do

  • Act as a strategic partner and trusted advisor to the President
  • Lead cross-functional projects spanning finance, operations, and strategy
  • Gather, analyze, and synthesize data into concise briefings, dashboards, and recommendations
  • Drive priority initiatives from scoping through execution and follow-up
  • Prepare materials for leadership meetings, board discussions, and key customer and partner engagements
  • Identify bottlenecks and opportunities across the business and push for resolution
  • Keep the President’s agenda focused on the highest-leverage decisions

What You Bring

  • 5+ years in management consulting, investment banking, corporate strategy, or a high-growth operating role
  • Strong financial and analytical skills, with comfort building models and working with messy data
  • Ability to distill complexity into clear, compelling presentations
  • Proven record of managing multiple priorities and delivering with minimal direction
  • Excellent judgment, discretion, and communication skills
  • Defense, aerospace, or manufacturing experience is a plus
  • Ability to obtain a U.S. security clearance (if applicable)

Colorado law requires us to tell you the base compensation range of this role, which is $140,000 - $175,000, determined by your education, experience, knowledge, skills, and abilities. What we can’t quantify for you are the exciting challenges, supportive team, and amazing culture we enjoy.
