We are seeking a Business Intelligence/Data Analyst to join our team. The Cost and Business Analytics Department within MITRE’s Center for Acquisition and Management Sciences (CAMS) Innovation Center solves our FFRDC’s and Sponsor’s problems by leveraging our capabilities within:

• Cost Estimation, Schedule, and Risk Analysis
• Investment Economics & Decision Analysis
• Strategic Business & Financial Analytics

MITRE is seeking an experienced analyst to continue the growth of our business analytic/ business intelligence capability in support of a diverse set of internal and external sponsors. The work includes engaging with sponsors to scope and prioritize tasks, collecting large datasets to perform data-driven analyses, conducting market research, investigating relevant policies and regulations, understanding the current budgetary and political environment, and performing additional research and analysis as necessary. The business intelligence role involves consolidating multiple sources information into the most substantial findings and presenting those conclusions to sponsors, often as written reports and in-person briefings. 

This position supports other department capabilities in cost, economic, business analyses, and business intelligence as needed. That work could include life cycle cost estimating, tradeoff and affordability analyses, decision analysis, portfolio investment analysis, and business case analysis. 

• Expect a dynamic team environment where tasks are rarely routine and often require novel approaches. 
• Expect to work on multiple projects simultaneously, with limited structure and supervision.

Roles and Responsibilities:

• Assist in identifying sources of information and gathering a wide range of quantitative and qualitative data to support decisions that have implications for MITRE and its government sponsors
• Apply analysis skills, including exploratory data analysis, time series analysis, and linear regression
• Leverage other analysis to include, but not limited to econometric and economic modeling and analysis, cost benefit analysis, handling large datasets and data driven analysis, policy and investment analysis, sponsor engagement and support, economic analysis in support of regulatory policy, pre- and post-implementation analysis, forecasting, and applied research
• Draw conclusions from analyses and clearly and concisely articulate key findings in both written and verbal form
• Assist in developing data visualization products that improve the presentation of complex data sets
• Translate unstructured data and nontraditional sources of information into business insights
• Explore sponsor environments for cross-government challenges and identify potential best practices
