The Opportunity:

Do you want to use your financial, analytical, and statistical skills to help the U.S. Navy and other military clients get the most out of their funding to protect our national security? As an operations research analyst, you will review complex financial and cost data, build cost analysis models, perform cost-benefit and cost savings analyses, and design leadership presentations and dashboards.
