The Policy Analyst will support a comprehensive organizational assessment focused on reviewing, interpreting, and evaluating policies, statutory authorities, directives, and related program guidance. This role plays a central part in mapping how policies are applied across an organization’s operations, identifying gaps or redundancies, and recommending updates that strengthen clarity, alignment, and future‑readiness.
You will collaborate with stakeholders across multiple divisions to gather policy artifacts, understand functional roles, and synthesize insights that reveal how responsibilities are executed today and how policies and processes should evolve to better support mission outcomes. The work requires strong analytical skills, the ability to translate complex policy language into practical operational implications, and the ability to work with both technical and non‑technical stakeholders.
The Policy Analyst will also contribute to improving the organization’s policy development lifecycle by establishing tools, templates, and processes that make policy creation and coordination more agile, transparent, and efficient. This includes evaluating opportunities to incorporate industry best practices or technology-driven solutions to streamline policy management and compliance.
