About the Opportunity

The right mixture of great ideas and funding can create change. In a complex organization, allocating funding to where it can be most effective can be challenging. That’s why we need you, a financial analyst who can easily navigate the requirements, policies, and regulations that govern funding, to make sure the Department of Defense’s resources can make the most impact.

As a financial analyst on our team, you’ll create a financial management strategy to help science and technology portfolios succeed. You’ll work with project management and task leads to develop an actionable plan for your client to secure the funding needed to achieve their goals. Using your knowledge of laws, regulations, and policies, you’ll help your client develop well‑formed requirements. Once the funding is in place, you’ll make sure the funding is used efficiently through consistent tracking and communication with project management and task leads. This is your chance to work on high‑level technology development while imparting your financial analysis expertise to your team.
