Company Description
Govini transforms Defense Acquisition from an outdated manual process to a software-driven strategic advantage for the United States. Our flagship product, Ark, supports Supply Chain, Science and Technology, Production, Sustainment, and Modernization teams with AI-enabled Applications and best-in-class data to more rapidly imagine, develop, and field the capabilities we need. Today, the national security community and every branch of the military rely on Govini to enable faster and more informed Acquisition decisions.
We are seeking a highly motivated Data Analyst to perform in-depth quantitative and qualitative analyses on problems of importance to U.S. national security. These problems include, for example, assessing risk within the Defense Industrial Base, isolating inefficiencies in the defense acquisition process, and quantifying how investments drive performance outcomes and align with strategic national security goals. In this role, you’ll collaborate closely with the Director of Research to power the company’s thought leadership and strategic marketing with rigorous, data-driven insights. If you love working with data, coding solutions to hard problems, and telling clear stories through visualization and analysis, this role is for you.
You must be analytical, curious, and driven to solve problems and have an impact. Data Analysts at Govini have a firm understanding of how to produce data-driven insights. You have a quantitative mindset and understanding of the tools required to dig into data. You are creative and tenacious. You understand or are curious about the defense acquisition processes. You know how to extract the most meaningful insights from data, but more importantly, how to tell stories that make the insights compelling.
