The Core Mission
As a Data Analyst, you will be the analytical engine behind our most important client relationships. Your mission is to use data to prove the ROI of our cybersecurity training platform. You will navigate complex datasets using SQL to uncover how our training impacts human risk, then use your storytelling expertise to present these insights to executive level stakeholders.
Location & Work Mode
- US (East Coast preferred)
- Full Remote
Technology Tools & Weapons
- Looker (primary) and Tableau
- SQL on BigQuery (Snowflake a plus / legacy)
- Python for analysis, automation, and statistics
- Excel for modeling and ad-hoc work
- Comfort using AI-assisted tooling (LLM copilots) to accelerate analysis and prototyping
Responsibilities
- Partner with Federal agency stakeholders to translate compliance and security needs into data-driven success plans, turning USG leadership's business requirements into technical data solutions.
- Use SQL and Python to extract and shape large datasets, surfacing correlations between training engagement and reduced security incidents. Build interactive Looker/Tableau dashboards and presentations that make ROI legible at every level of the USG.
- Run deep-dive analysis on user behavior and simulation logs to identify high-risk cohorts, and give clients tailored recommendations to optimize their training curriculum based on engagement signals (completion velocity, adoption, drop-off).
- Maintain rigorous data hygiene by auditing the flow of training telemetry from platform to reporting layer. Use Python/SQL for rapid prototyping of risk models and ad-hoc "what-if" analysis for client presentations.
- Participate in Executive Business Reviews (EBRs) where you will discuss the client’s progress and way forward, and partner with Product and Data Engineering to ensure platform telemetry keeps pace with the market's reporting needs.
