Position Summary

The Senior Program Control Analyst serves as a trusted budget, acquisition, and financial management expert supporting OPIR and persistent GEOINT programs at NGA-Denver. This role provides end-to-end IC/DoD acquisition and budgetary support, ensuring resources are effectively planned, allocated, and executed in alignment with mission priorities. Working closely with program managers, technical leads, and government analysts, the Senior Program Control Analyst develops and defends budget strategies, evaluates proposals, and produces decision-quality financial analysis for senior leadership. The ideal candidate combines deep IC acquisition process knowledge with strong analytical and communication skills.

Key Responsibilities

  • Provide senior-level budgetary and financial management expertise to technical integration, project management, and systems engineering activities for space and ground systems.
  • Navigate complex IC/DoD organizational and budget processes, translating them into clear, actionable program and budget information for leadership review.
  • Analyze resource apportionment to meet validated and emerging requirements, recommending optimal allocation strategies and execution plans.
  • Support source selection processes, including reviewing acquisition strategies, conducting tests of reasonableness and realism, and developing probable cost assessments.
  • Prepare reports and estimates of future funding needs based on strategic priorities, mission requirements, and evolving budget allocations.
  • Review and validate funding requests and proposals for completeness, accuracy, compliance, and merit, helping prevent fraud, waste, and abuse.
  • Develop and maintain executable budget spend plans, contract funds status reporting, and financial models that inform EAC evaluations and program performance assessments.

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Business, Economics, Engineering, or a related field; 18+ years of directly relevant experience may be considered in lieu of a degree.
  • 12+ years of experience directly supporting acquisition programs in the IC or DoD.
  • Comprehensive, end-to-end understanding of the IC acquisition process, including:
    • Intelligence Program Budget Submission (IBPS),
    • Unfunded requirement management and resolution,
    • Source selection processes (tests of reasonableness & realism, probable cost creation),
    • Ongoing contract budget and execution management (e.g., CFSR evaluation, contract closeout),
    • Financial modeling for proposal and EAC assessments (expert-level spreadsheet usage).
  • Direct, recent (within the past 5 years) experience supporting Major Systems Acquisition-level projects and delivering decision-quality budget and resource analyses to senior leaders.
  • Demonstrated ability to work collaboratively with analysts, program managers, SMEs, and staff officials to assess program performance and recommend budget and execution alternatives.
  • Strong analytical, communication, and judgment skills, with a track record of defending budget recommendations using data-driven evidence.
  • Active TS//SCI clearance with current CI Polygraph, or eligibility and willingness to obtain and maintain this level of clearance.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with OCONUS contracting and termination liabilities.
  • Familiarity with NGA, NSG, NIP/MIP structures, and PPBE processes.
  • Prior experience supporting congressional budget planning activities and enterprise-level resource prioritization.
  • Professional certifications in acquisition or financial management (e.g., DAWIA Business/Financial Management, CFA, CDFM) are highly desirable.
  • Experience identifying complementary or duplicative expenditures across agencies and recommending efficiencies.
