Permanent Data Analyst Opt Jobs in Virginia (NOW HIRING)

Enterprise Knowledge (EK) is hiring a full-time AI and Data Product Analyst to join our growing Semantic Engineering and AI Practice. In this role, you will help our clients organize their enterprise data to make it ready for next-generation AI solutions. While experience with semantic technologies (taxonomies, ontologies, metadata) is a major plus, it is not required—we are looking for a sharp, analytical thinker with 2–5 years of experience who is eager to learn how data structure powers modern AI. You’ll work with Fortune 500 and global clients to develop strategies, guide implementation, and apply agile principles to translate business needs into clear, actionable plans.

As with all of our positions, we seek independent thinkers with exceptional written and oral communication skills. This position demands a deep understanding of business strategy and development, experience with knowledge & data management technology solutions, business analysis, and consulting skills.

As an EKer, you will join a fast-growing company that is committed to equity and inclusion, have the opportunity to work in a collaborative workplace, take advantage of our unique benefits, and help build our innovative culture.
