About The Position

C5MI is not your typical consulting firm. We are a high-performance team of SAP and supply chain experts who solve complex, mission critical challenges for organizations that cannot afford failure. We hire consultants who thrive in complexity, move fast, take ownership, and deliver under pressure. At C5MI, you will not be siloed or stuck in theory. You will be hands on, client facing, and directly influencing outcomes that matter. Our culture rewards initiative, accountability, and continuous growth. This is a place where your expertise is valued, your work is meaningful, and your performance truly matters. If you’re energized by learning through real-world challenges, collaborating with top-tier talent, and expanding your capabilities every day, C5MI is where strong consultants level up. Position Summary: The Strategic Planning Analyst translates C5MI’s executive vision into a coherent, compelling narrative for employees, federal agency clients, teaming partners, and investors. Sitting at the intersection of corporate strategy, internal culture, and market positioning, this role serves as the connective tissue that keeps every level of the organization aligned to the same mission as the company scales. The analyst owns both the internal communications infrastructure and external messaging, ensuring C5MI speaks with one voice — internally and externally.
