The Leidos Digital Modernization Sector is seeking a Program Analyst; this position will allow for full time telework from any U.S. based location.

POSITION SUMMARY:
We are seeking a proactive, detail-oriented Program Analyst to manage the financial and operational framework for the Chief Data & Analytics Office (CDAO). This role is essential for maintaining fiscal discipline across labor and project budgets and ensuring that resource allocation aligns with strategic objectives. The successful candidate will act as a key liaison between project leadership and finance departments, overseeing budget forecasting, spend analysis, and the operational onboarding of new staff to ensure organizational efficiency and that every investment delivers measurable value.

• Finance Liaison: Act as the primary point of contact for the Financial Services team for Risk and Opportunity (R&O) tracking.
• Audit Readiness: Maintain up-to-date records of all financial decisions and budget shifts to ensure transparency for executive leadership.

• Metric Visualization: Translate complex fiscal data into high-fidelity visualizations that prove our progress toward the enterprise efficiency goal.

• Control of CDAO Records: Serve as the primary gatekeeper for the CDAO's "Source of Truth" repository on SharePoint, enforcing version control and metadata standards for all finalized strategic and financial documents.
• Talent Integration (Launchpad): Manage the complete integration process for new staff and consultants, ensuring that the technical environment is ready and that AI Fluency training is completed within 14 days of their start date.
• Resource Attribution: Oversee labor charge codes to ensure that 100% of staff time is allocated to approved 2026 strategic initiatives.
• Recruitment Coordination: Facilitate the final stages of the hiring process, acting as the main liaison between HR/Recruiting and Technical Pillar Leads.
• Onboarding Orchestration: Lead the CDAO Launchpad program, ensuring that all new hires complete their orientation and environment setup within 14 days of starting.
• Operational Readiness: Coordinate the provision of hardware, credentials, and system access for all new internal staff and strategic partners.

Business Systems & Resource Planning

• Workforce Support: Assist Directors during the annual Pay Planning cycle with budget modeling, internal equity checks, and justification documentation.
• Asset Inventory: Maintain a centralized inventory of software renewals and enterprise licenses to identify cost-saving and optimization opportunities.

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:

• Bachelor's degree in Business Administration, Finance, or a related field; additional years of experience may be substituted in lieu of a degree.
• 4+ years of experience in program analysis, project management, or business operations.
• Proficiency in actuals vs. forecast reconciliation and budget modeling.
• Experience with enterprise tools such as Workday, Costpoint, and MS Excel (Advanced).
• Must be a US Citizen.
