Business Analyst with Security Clearance

Are you a sharp, analytical thinker looking to launch your career at the intersection of data-driven strategy and national impact? Polaris Consulting Group, Inc. is seeking a motivated Business Analyst to join our Data & Analytics team in the National Capital Region. This is a unique opportunity for an early-career professional to gain hands-on experience in a high-stakes government environment, where your ability to translate complex data into actionable insights will directly influence critical mission outcomes. If you are a recent graduate or early-career professional who thrives on solving intricate problems and wants to work alongside industry experts, we want to hear from you.

Based primarily at a prestigious government headquarters in Falls Church, this role offers the perfect blend of professional mentorship and real-world responsibility. You will play a vital role in optimizing business processes and supporting data initiatives, with the flexibility for telework on tasks that don’t require on-site presence. Because this position supports sensitive government operations, a Public Trust clearance is required (or the ability to obtain one), and employment is contingent upon successful background screening. At Polaris, we don’t just offer a job; we provide a platform for you to build a career defined by integrity, innovation, and technical excellence.

Requirements

• Strong proficiency in SQL and data visualization tools (Tableau, PowerBI).
• Experience with statistical programming languages like R or Python.
• Ability to derive actionable insights from large, complex datasets.
• Strong mathematical background and analytical thinking.
• Experience with data warehousing and ETL processes is beneficial.
• Degree in Statistics, Mathematics, Economics, or a related field.
