  • Capture and communicate key insights through business analytics, identifying trends, performance indicators, and actionable discoveries that support strategic decision-making.
  • Work hand in hand with team leads, analysts, and visualization experts to support division-wide rebranding efforts and enhance the presentation and delivery of mission products.
  • Work with large structured and unstructured datasets in analytical and modeling environments to solve complex operational and intelligence challenges.
  • Lead and participate in the design of innovative solutions and refinement of existing analytic processes and workflows.
  • Translate customer requirements and mission challenges into actionable technical solutions, timelines, and resource plans.
  • Develop and maintain automated data processing pipelines and repeatable analytic workflows.
  • Conduct peer reviews to improve the quality of methodologies, procedures, and technical solutions.
  • Mentor team members and help build high-performing technical teams.
  • Present technical findings and recommendations to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

What You Must Have:

  • Active TS/SCI clearance with the ability to obtain and maintain a CI Polygraph.
  • Strong working knowledge and hands-on experience with Esri solutions such as Esri ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Online, and secure enterprise Esri portals such as Safehouse and ICGIS.
  • Expert-level proficiency in Python and its data science and visualization ecosystem, including Pandas, NumPy, SciPy, Matplotlib, Plotly, Dash, Bokeh, and related libraries.
  • Demonstrated experience creating highly customized visualizations and analytic applications to meet unique operational and business requirements.
  • Demonstrated experience automating analytic and business processes using Python and related technologies.
  • Experience applying artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) techniques to structured and unstructured datasets.
  • 10+ years of relevant experience in data science, advanced analytics, machine learning, data visualization, and business analytics. A combination of experience, professional certifications, and technical training may be considered in lieu of some years of experience.
