Job description

Position overviewInfo Gain Consulting (IGC) is seeking a Program Assessment and Data Analyst to lead performance measurement, data analytics, and evidence-based reporting across OSINT capability support and shared program functions for a federal law-enforcement and intelligence customer. You will develop key performance indicators (KPIs) and evaluation criteria, analyze Government-authorized qualitative and quantitative data, and prepare license-utilization and quarterly performance reporting.
This program-assessment and data-analytics role emphasizes evidence traceability: documenting provenance, assumptions, limitations, and methods so conclusions can be defended, and turning imperfect, multi-source data into clear findings for working-level and executive audiences. The Analyst supports but does not make operational, intelligence, license-administration, capability-retirement, acquisition, or transition decisions.Key responsibilities
  • Define performance measures, KPIs, baselines, targets, evaluation criteria, and collection methods for Government review.
  • Collect, clean, validate, reconcile, and analyze Government-authorized qualitative and quantitative data from multiple sources.
  • Assess OSINT capability usage, effectiveness, workflow impact, and mission impact using documented methods.
  • Analyze Government-provided license, user, and utilization data to identify trends, usage patterns, and candidate inactive accounts.
  • Co-develop the monthly License Utilization Report and provide data-backed recommendations and escalation inputs.
  • Prepare the Quarterly Program Performance Report and validate the integrity of KPI trends and findings.
  • Develop dashboards, charts, tables, and briefings that communicate complex findings to technical and executive audiences.
  • Document data provenance, definitions, limitations, transformations, calculations, and assumptions to maintain traceability.
  • Maintain assessment files linking approved criteria, data sources, analyses, findings, and version history.
  • Perform independent quality checks on recurring metrics and escalate anomalies, inconsistencies, or unsupported conclusions.
Required qualifications
  • Bachelor’s degree in data analytics, statistics, operations research, economics, social science, business analytics, information systems, public policy, intelligence studies, or a related field; four additional years of directly relevant experience may substitute for the degree.
  • At least 5 years in performance measurement, data analysis, program evaluation, operational analysis, or business intelligence.
  • Demonstrated ability to define KPIs and evaluation criteria and analyze both quantitative and qualitative evidence.
  • Experience cleaning, validating, reconciling, and interpreting data from multiple sources with imperfect information.
  • Advanced proficiency with Microsoft Excel and experience creating clear charts, tables, dashboards, and written summaries.
  • Demonstrated ability to document data provenance, assumptions, limitations, and calculation methods.
  • Strong analytical writing and briefing skills, including distinguishing evidence, inference, limitation, and recommendation.
  • Working proficiency with Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, Teams, SharePoint, and approved data-analysis or visualization tools.
Preferred qualifications
  • Experience supporting DHS, law-enforcement, intelligence, defense, public-safety, or another high-consequence mission environment.
  • Experience analyzing SaaS, commercial-data, license-utilization, user-adoption, workflow, or mission-effectiveness data.
  • Experience with Power BI, Tableau, SQL, Python, R, or comparable analytical tools in addition to Excel.
  • Experience designing surveys, interview protocols, observation instruments, or mixed-method program evaluations.
  • Familiarity with test-and-evaluation, operational suitability, intelligence tradecraft, or capability lifecycle decisions.
