Ascension LLC is seeking a Business Intelligence Analyst to support a federal data analytics and application support services engagement for the Department of War Office of Inspector General (DoW OIG). This role is designed for an execution-focused analyst who can develop dashboards, reports, visualizations, and KPI-driven insights that help government leaders identify patterns, trends, anomalies, and mission risks across oversight activities.

Summary of the Contractor Role

The Business Intelligence Analyst will support the OIG Analytics Team by translating business needs into clear, actionable reporting products. The ideal candidate will be detail-oriented, technically capable, comfortable working with structured and unstructured data, and able to communicate findings in a way that supports audits, evaluations, investigations, and executive decision-making. The PWS specifically identifies business intelligence services as a core domain, including the development and maintenance of dashboards, reports, and data visualizations to support decision-making.

The successful candidate should bring strong analytical judgment, dashboard development experience, and the ability to work within a structured federal environment where documentation, quality control, data integrity, and knowledge transfer are essential. This is not an overly senior architecture role. It is an execution-focused BI role aligned to dashboards, KPIs, data visualization, recurring reports, and stakeholder-facing analytics support.

Day-to-Day Responsibilities

The Business Intelligence Analyst will be expected to:

• Develop dashboards, reports, scorecards, and visual analytics products that support DoW OIG decision-making, audits, evaluations, investigations, and mission support activities.
• Translate stakeholder requirements into business intelligence use cases, report mockups, data views, KPI definitions, and dashboard specifications.
• Analyze operational, programmatic, and oversight-related data to identify trends, anomalies, performance gaps, and opportunities for process improvement.
• Create recurring and ad hoc reports using tools such as Power BI, Tableau, Excel, SharePoint, SQL-based reporting tools, or comparable BI platforms.
• Maintain dashboards and reporting products to ensure data accuracy, refresh reliability, usability, accessibility, and alignment with approved requirements.
• Validate data outputs by conducting quality checks, reconciling source data, identifying inconsistencies, and documenting assumptions or limitations.
• Collaborate with data engineers, data scientists, project managers, and government stakeholders to support integrated analytics solutions.
• Document report logic, data definitions, refresh procedures, dashboard requirements, and user guidance to support sustainment and knowledge transfer.
• Support iterative development cycles by helping break dashboard and reporting work into manageable deliverables, typically aligned to short-cycle planning and execution.
• Participate in stakeholder meetings, requirements discussions, sprint reviews, status meetings, and working sessions.
• Prepare visual briefing materials, data summaries, and executive-ready slides that communicate findings clearly to technical and non-technical audiences.
• Recommend improvements to reporting processes, KPI structures, dashboard usability, and data governance practices.
• Ensure BI products are organized in approved repositories, updated in a timely manner, and available for Government review and sustainment.
• Support knowledge transfer sessions for government users to help them understand, refresh, interpret, and sustain BI products.
