The analyst will establish source-traceable funding and contract baselines, assess implementation constraints and organizational overlaps, and convert complex data into accurate workbooks, reports, options, and leadership briefings. This role is both the lead analyst and the day-to-day project integrator for a one-FTE delivery model.

Demonstrated ability to reconcile complex financial and acquisition data from multiple authoritative sources and maintain complete source traceability.
Working knowledge of federal appropriations and budget execution concepts, including purpose, time, and amount; apportionment; reprogramming or transfer considerations; and single-year, multi-year, and no-year funding.
Experience analyzing federal contracts, task orders, purchase orders, interagency agreements, and reimbursable agreements, including dependencies and transition impacts.
Advanced proficiency with Microsoft Excel and strong proficiency with Word, PowerPoint, Teams, and SharePoint. Ability to build clear workbooks, matrices, dashboards, process maps, reports, and executive briefings.
Excellent analytical writing, facilitation, and briefing skills, with the judgment to distinguish analysis and options from inherently governmental decisions.
