About Pryzm

Pryzm is transforming how companies engage with the federal government. Today, federal procurement and BD is fragmented across disconnected workflows, siloed intelligence, and institutional knowledge locked in spreadsheets and inboxes. Pryzm brings together market intelligence, budget data, program visibility, and human insights into a single platform that helps teams navigate and win in the federal ecosystem. Pryzm is backed by Tier 1 investors including a16z, and is trusted by organizations across the national security and federal technology ecosystem. Our mission is simple: deliver the best capabilities to the missions that matter most.

The Role

Pryzm’s platform depends on data that most companies don’t even attempt to track well. We’re looking for a Federal Data Analyst to help own that data, keeping it accurate, useful, and ahead of what our customers need. The role blends technical data work with market-facing analysis, and touches everything from day-to-day data quality to the insights we put in front of customers.

• Technical with Data: you can write basic SQL, work with large or messy datasets, and spot a structural problem before it becomes a customer complaint
• Familiarity with government contracting or federal personnel data (USASpending awards, J-Books/budget documents, DoD organizational structure) is a strong plus, but not a requirement.
• Strong analytical writing, where you can turn a dataset into a clear, credible narrative for an executive audience
