Data Analytics
  • Analyze monthly Integrated Program Management Reports, including IPMR/IPMDAR submissions and supporting cost and schedule data.
  • Examine program-performance information to identify unfavorable trends, emerging issues, and areas requiring management attention.

  • Support recurring program reviews by explaining performance trends and potential impacts.
  • Use analytical tools such as wInsight, Encore Analytics and Microsoft Office applications.

Cost Analysis, Financial Management and Program Management
  • Conduct cost analyses supporting Life Cycle Cost Estimates, Program Office budgets, contract proposals, and other requested cost products.
  • Develop independent government cost estimates and ad hoc estimates to support acquisition, budgeting, and program-management decisions.
  • Provide analytical support for program controls, financial reporting, budget development, and funds execution.
  • Monitor program cost performance and assess whether work is being completed within approved budgets and performance baselines.
  • Analyze monthly cost, schedule, and technical-performance data to identify trends, variances, risks, and emerging financial issues.
  • Integrate financial data with schedule, technical, risk, and program-performance information to provide a comprehensive view of program status.
  • Develop and assess forecasts for estimated costs at completion, remaining program requirements, funding needs, and potential budget shortfalls.
  • Support the preparation, review, and analysis of Program Office budgets, spend plans, execution reports, and funding requirements.
  • Evaluate contractor proposals, cost estimates, and supporting data for reasonableness, completeness, consistency, and compliance with program requirements.
  • Analyze the financial effects of schedule delays, technical issues, scope changes, risks, and opportunities.
  • Provide cost and financial analysis across individual programs, contracts, work breakdown structures, or broader portfolios.
  • Translate complex cost, budget, and program-performance information into clear findings, recommendations, and decision-ready reporting products.
  • Support baseline development, change control, risk and opportunity management, and corrective-action planning.
  • Use analytical tools such as ACEIT, Excel and other Microsoft Office applications

Skills Required
  • 24 semester hours of quantitative course work (mathematics, statistics, engineering, physics, chemistry, etc.)
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, Access, and PowerPoint)
  • Ability to obtain a DoD Secret Clearance
  • Salary Range: $55,000 - $75,000 /Year depending on experience and qualifications
