  • Leverage Large Language Models (LLMs) and other AI-enabled tools to assist in analyzing open-ended survey responses and identifying themes.
  • Support recurring survey programs and longitudinal analysis to identify trends over time.

  • Proficiency with Microsoft Excel, PowerPoint, and Word.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with Power BI, Tableau, or similar data visualization tools.
  • Experience with SQL, MS Access, Oracle, SQL Server, or other relational databases.
  • Experience supporting Intelligence Community customers or workforce analytics initiatives.
  • Experience producing executive-level visualizations, charts, and presentations.
