Program Overview

RIVA Solutions supports the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the NOAA Enterprise IT Services (NEITS) contract, delivering mission-critical enterprise IT, telecommunications, and network services that enable NOAA's operational and scientific mission nationwide. The NEITS program supports enterprise infrastructure operations, telecommunications systems, and secure network services connecting research facilities, mission centers, and data environments across the country. 

Successful execution of this program requires disciplined contract administration, financial oversight, governance, and integrated business operations to ensure compliance, cost control, transparency, and operational continuity within a complex Federal IT environment. 

Position Overview

RIVA Solutions is seeking a Senior Financial Control Analyst to serve as a Subject Matter Expert (SME) supporting enterprise-wide governance over financial and business operations for the NOAA NEITS program. This role will facilitate the development of financial management and reporting processes, evaluate control deficiencies, recommend remediation strategies, and provide deep-dive financial analysis across Federal business operations, financial models, integrated workflows, and performance. 

The Senior Financial Control Analyst will assess current-state financial accounting procedures, controls, cash-flow projections, and business operations and recommend a scalable future-state financial model. Working closely with program leadership and Finance, Risk, Audit, Technology, and program management stakeholders, this position will help build integrated financial and business services that support contract requirements, forecasting, tracking, and executive oversight. 

Core Responsibilities

• Support line-of-business partners to ensure adherence to financial reporting governance and control policies. 
• Analyze control gaps, evaluate deficiencies, and provide recommendations for remediation strategy and corrective action planning. 
• Partner with external auditors and internal IT audit teams on evolving control matters, evidence requests, and remediation activities. 
• Evaluate financial data management practices, control effectiveness, system performance, and corrective fixes through ongoing assessment and monitoring. 
• Synthesize financial and operational data into governance dashboards, management reports, and executive-level reporting for senior leadership and regulatory stakeholders. 
• Support the development of program budgets, multi-year forecasts, cash-flow projections, and financial models; advise leadership on accuracy, assumptions, and risk. 
• Support executive financial reporting, variance analysis, burn-rate analysis, and performance dashboards, providing actionable recommendations. 
• Analyze alignment among labor execution, contractual scope, CLIN structure, funding availability, and program performance; recommend corrective actions when deviations occur. 
• Track and analyze deliverables, milestones, funding, and compliance
