Govini has offices in Arlington, Virginia, San Francisco, California, and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Job DescriptionWe are seeking highly-motivated Analysts to perform in-depth quantitative and qualitative analyses on problems of importance to U.S. national security. These problems include, for example, assessing risk within the Defense Industrial Base, isolating inefficiencies in business operations, and quantifying how investments drive performance outcomes and align with strategic aims.

This role is a full-time position located out of our office in Arlington, VA.
We firmly believe that past performance is the best indicator of future performance. If you thrive in ambiguity, are a self-starter, and care about solving technical problems in the national security domain, we’re eager to hear from you.
