The Mid-Level Operations Analysts are the journeyman-level analytical backbone of support operations. They lead coordination of DIRO Program Review preparation, manage complex acquisition communication routing, support R&D transition activities, and provide technical and programmatic input across a broad range of classified and unclassified deliverables.
