  • Collaborate with subject matter experts, program managers, data engineers, developers, and government personnel to define analytical requirements and identify appropriate data solutions.
  • Evaluate data quality, completeness, accuracy, and reliability and recommend improvements to data collection and governance processes.
  • Develop performance metrics, key performance indicators (KPIs), and analytical methodologies to measure program effectiveness and operational performance.
  • Document analytical methodologies, assumptions, data sources, models, processes, and findings in accordance with contract and government requirements.
  • Prepare technical reports, briefings, presentations, and executive-level summaries for government stakeholders.
  • Support ad hoc analytical requests, program evaluations, forecasting, workforce analysis, and other mission-driven data initiatives.
  • Ensure data is handled in accordance with applicable federal security, privacy, records management, and information governance requirements.
  • Participate in quality assurance and peer-review activities to validate analytical methodologies and results.
  • Support continuous improvement initiatives by identifying opportunities to automate manual analysis and reporting processes.
Minimum Qualifications

  • Demonstrated experience analyzing large and complex datasets.
  • Proficiency with Python and/or R for data analysis and statistical modeling.
  • Strong SQL skills and experience extracting and manipulating data from relational databases.
  • Experience developing statistical, predictive, or machine learning models.
  • Experience with data visualization and business intelligence tools such as Power BI, Tableau, or equivalent platforms.
  • Knowledge of statistical methodologies and quantitative research techniques.
  • Ability to translate business or mission requirements into analytical approaches and measurable outcomes.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to present complex technical information to non-technical stakeholders.
