About the role

We are hiring three Mid-Level Acquisition Analysts to support a U.S. government acquisition organization that manages a high volume of C5I acquisition actions each year. Each analyst is aligned primarily to one task area, while providing cross-functional support to the other two. If you know federal acquisition, move work forward with urgency, and take pride in clean, compliant, on-time packages and documentation, this is a strong fit.

What you’ll do (all roles)

  • Support federal acquisition planning and execution activities across multiple stakeholders and timelines
  • Build and maintain accurate trackers, action logs, and reporting that help leadership forecast work and manage throughput
  • Produce high-quality deliverables in Microsoft 365 (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) and PDF
  • Apply quality checks to reduce rework and improve timeliness and package acceptance
  • Coordinate across task areas to keep work moving and share best practices, templates, and lessons learned
  • Handle sensitive/procurement-related information appropriately and follow government security requirements

Focus: CPI documentation, acquisition planning support, and high-throughput tasking.
Outcome: Institutionalizes process improvements through knowledge transfer, QA reviews, and workforce enablement.

Key responsibilities

  • Produce and maintain CPI documentation: charters, schedules, work plans, playbooks, process maps, and supporting artifacts
  • Support acquisition planning activities tied to CPI initiatives, including capturing requirements, documenting decisions, and maintaining action items
  • Manage high-throughput tasks with strong attention to detail, deadlines, and version control
  • Institutionalize process improvements by building training aids, refreshers, and “how-to” documentation that teams actually use
  • Perform QA reviews of CPI deliverables and ensure updates are consistent, complete, and ready for adoption
  • Reinforce a culture of continuous improvement by facilitating knowledge transfer and keeping documentation current

What success looks like

  • Leaders have clear, consistent, reliable reporting they can use to make decisions
  • KPIs are defined well and tracked consistently over time
  • Spend and vendor analysis helps teams prioritize work and manage the vendor portfolio
  • Reporting becomes easier, faster, and more repeatable through templates and automation

  • Ability to obtain/maintain Public Trust and CAC eligibility
