Orbis is a technology company that delivers sovereign intelligence and decision capabilities to the United States Government and its allies. We convert complex information and operational systems into decisive outcomes, giving public institutions and critical enterprises the tools to move faster, see clearer, and act first in an increasingly contested world.

We are not a consulting firm and not a systems integrator. Every Orbis team is built around practitioners who have operated at the mission edge, and every engagement is judged on one thing: whether it produces working capability, not slide decks. Solutions forged from experience; that is how we build, and it is how we hire.

• Analyze both qualitative and quantitative information to provide customer with comprehensive insights into organizational strengths and challenge areas.
• Socialize results and recommendations with the team at the working-level.
• Prepare visual presentations of data and analysis.
• Prepare reports and presentations for senior leadership based on research plans, activities, findings and recommendations.

• All-source intelligence research, analysis, and report writing/editing

Beyond the opportunity to work alongside practitioners who have operated at the mission edge, joining Orbis means real ownership over outcomes that matter; the chance to build technology that gives the United States Government and its allies a genuine decision advantage, not just another dashboard.
