What is a Data Analyst at Peraton?
At Peraton, a Data Analyst—often designated as a Data Manager (Journeyman) depending on the contract—plays a pivotal role in delivering mission-critical technology solutions to federal, defense, healthcare, and intelligence agencies. Because Peraton operates in highly regulated and high-stakes environments, data is not just an asset; it is the backbone of national security, public health, and operational readiness. You will be responsible for ensuring that complex datasets are accurate, secure, compliant, and structured to support critical decision-making.
The impact of this role is immediate and far-reaching. Whether you are managing specialized clinical databases for federal healthcare systems or organizing logistics data for defense operations, your work directly affects the efficiency and success of government initiatives. This is not a typical corporate analysis role; you will work with sensitive, large-scale data systems that require a high degree of precision, strict adherence to security protocols, and deep integration with cross-functional teams of engineers, project managers, and government stakeholders.
For candidates who thrive on structured problem-solving and want their work to contribute to projects of national importance, this position offers an incredibly rewarding career path. You will face unique data challenges, including legacy system migrations, complex data validation schemas, and stringent compliance frameworks, making it an exceptional space to grow your technical and domain expertise.
