The Opportunity:

As a CACI Operations Research Analyst (ORSA), you will provide operations analysis support to our government client and forward deployed units, with a focus on proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destructions (WMD), assessing the Great Power Competition (GPC), and countering improvised threats and the networks that finance, build, or employ such threats. You will provide this analytic support through on-site work and provide a reach-back analysis support function in a CONUS location or while embedded with supported OCONUS elements. Duties will include taking structured and unstructured data and distilling the information into a cohesive analytical product for both the senior military audiences and the warfighter.  You will execute your mission through integration of data from diverse intelligence disciplines, including SIGINT, MASINT, GEOINT, IMINT, and HUMINT to illuminate trends, entities, and networks of interest, supporting both conventional and other forces CONUS and OCONUS. 

Responsibilities:

Your expertise will support multi-intelligence teams, social analytical teams, and special operations analytical teams; and include actionable, insightful recommendations based on data driven analysis of operations. You will provide subject matter expertise that is highly skilled at data mining, statistical analysis, causal analysis, and geospatial analysis. You will analyze unit operations through Operations Research techniques, produce trends assessments and analysis, support decision-making analytical products, and provide information to the government client regarding the effectiveness of client and threat initiatives. Additionally, ORSAs will provide analysis of Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) procurement and proliferation within the Great Power Competition (GPC), identify trends and patterns of improvised threats, develop and analyze threat networks, and provide predictive analysis of a diverse set of activities to assist in operational and strategic planning. 

As part of the ORSA team you will provide unique skillsets that integrate military knowledge and experience with mathematics, statistics, quantitative analysis, and other scientific techniques to effectively solve a wide array of complex problems. As an ORSA, you will manage and analyze large quantities of data, translate data into useful insights, and develop strategies and metrics to provide on-site tactical, operational, and strategic courses of actions to senior leaders and decision-makers. Additionally, as part of the ORSA team you will provide leaders with actionable insights from data-driven analysis of operations, processes, and capabilities to identify trends, inform assessments of effectiveness, and mitigate risk. In addition to supporting our organization, ORSAs are able to support deployed units and embed with those units in operational theaters. As part of an embed team, ORSAs are provided full reach-back capabilities and support.
