Senior Operations Research Systems Analyst

Hybrid (2 Days / Week @ Arlington VA Client Site)

About the Role

Capstone Analytic is seeking a Senior Operations Research Systems Analyst to support federal health IT modernization, strategic portfolio management, acquisition planning, and executive decision support. This role will support complex, high-visibility work across the federal healthcare environment, with emphasis on data-driven analysis, portfolio strategy, acquisition decision-making, cost and performance tradeoffs, and senior leader advisory support.

The Senior ORSA will help government clients evaluate investment alternatives, assess portfolio performance, identify capability gaps, analyze risks and dependencies, and develop defensible recommendations for major health IT programs. This position requires a strong analytical foundation, excellent communication skills, intellectual curiosity, and the ability to operate in a fast-paced client environment with demanding stakeholders and evolving priorities.

The ideal candidate will bring experience in operations research, systems analysis, federal acquisition, healthcare or health IT, and Department of Defense programs. This is not a back-office analyst role. The successful candidate must be able to work directly with client stakeholders, structure ambiguous problems, brief senior leaders, and translate complex analysis into clear, actionable recommendations.

Responsibilities

Lead operations research, systems analysis, and decision-support activities for complex federal health IT programs and portfolios.

Develop analytical frameworks to evaluate health IT modernization initiatives, investment alternatives, acquisition strategies, and portfolio tradeoffs.

Conduct cost-benefit analysis, risk analysis, sensitivity analysis, gap analysis, alternatives analysis, performance analysis, and strategic option evaluation.

Support strategic portfolio management activities, including portfolio prioritization, governance support, roadmap development, performance monitoring, benchmarking, and capability alignment.

Analyze financial, operational, technical, acquisition, contract, schedule, workforce, and performance data to identify trends, risks, gaps, dependencies, and decision points.

Develop decision matrices, scoring models, analytical methodologies, briefing materials, dashboards, white papers, and executive decision packages.

Support federal acquisition planning by helping clients assess requirements, compare alternatives, evaluate vendor-neutral options, and align acquisition strategies to mission priorities.

Support planning and analysis related to EHR modernization, revenue cycle modernization, digital health, data and analytics, cloud modernization, and enterprise health IT portfolios.

Translate complex quantitative and qualitative analysis into concise findings and recommendations for senior government leaders.

Prepare and deliver briefings to senior clients, program leaders, portfolio executives, acquisition stakeholders, and cross-functional working groups.

Facilitate stakeholder discussions to clarify problems, validate assumptions, gather inputs, and drive alignment around analytical conclusions.

Support PPBE, POM, investment planning, long-range financial analysis, affordability assessment, and portfolio resource alignment.

Identify analytical gaps, improve data quality, document assumptions, and ensure traceability between evidence, analysis, and recommendations.

Provide quality control and mentorship for junior analysts supporting the same portfolio or workstream.

Help Capstone Analytic maintain a standard of independent, objective, mission-aligned, and defensible advisory support.
