This role is designed for an experienced analyst who can operate in a senior advisory capacity, translate complex supplier and risk data into decision-grade insights, and support customer stakeholders in understanding vulnerabilities that may affect mission readiness, resilience, and operational continuity.

• Identify supplier vulnerabilities, single-source dependencies, capacity constraints, obsolescence risks, foreign ownership, control, or influence indicators, and other risks affecting mission assurance.
• Analyze supplier networks, industrial base dependencies, sourcing pathways, and risk exposure using proprietary, government-furnished, and open-source datasets.
• Develop decision-support products that connect supplier risk, operational impact, mitigation options, and recommended courses of action.
• Support industrial base planning, resilience analysis, and supply chain visibility efforts for senior government stakeholders.
• Produce structured risk assessments, executive briefings, recurring status reports, and evidence-backed analytical products.
• Partner with customer stakeholders to validate findings, refine analytical priorities, and translate requirements into repeatable workflows.
• Support risk mitigation planning, alternate sourcing analysis, action tracking, and closure criteria for identified vulnerabilities.
• Maintain clear documentation, source attribution, analytical methodologies, and audit-ready evidence packages.
• Collaborate with Exiger data, product, and engineering teams to improve data quality, analytical tooling, dashboards, and repeatable delivery processes.

• Active Top Secret clearance required; TS/SCI strongly preferred.
• Ability to work regularly at a secure customer site in the National Capital Region, with onsite presence as required by the customer.
• Strong analytical judgment and ability to turn complex supply chain, supplier, and risk data into clear recommendations.
• Excellent written communication skills, including experience producing executive-level briefings, risk summaries, and decision-support materials.
• Proficiency with Excel and familiarity with analytical tools such as SQL, Python, Tableau, Power BI, Palantir, or similar platforms.
• Ability to operate independently, manage competing priorities, and deliver high-quality work under compressed timelines.
• Comfortability working directly with government stakeholders, technical teams, and cross-functional delivery partners.

• 6+ years of experience in supply chain risk management, intelligence analysis, defense industrial base analysis, logistics, acquisition, operations research, or a related analytical discipline.
• Experience supporting Department of Defense, Intelligence Community, federal civilian, aerospace and defense, or other national security customers.
• Demonstrated experience analyzing supplier networks, industrial base dependencies, critical technologies, mission risk, or third-party/vendor risk.
• Experience producing structured analytical products for senior stakeholders, including briefings, risk assessments, mitigation plans, and recurring program deliverables.
• Experience conducting structured research and maintaining supporting documentation, evidence packages, and source attribution.

• Experience with industrial base planning, defense acquisition, sustainment, logistics, or mission assurance programs.
• Knowledge of supply chain risk management frameworks, supplier risk assessment, or third-party risk management practices.
• Familiarity with CAGE codes, NSNs, DLA, SAM.gov, GIDEP, FED-LOG, FPDS, USAspending.gov, or related defense and supplier data sources.
