Senior Manager, Business Insights and Analytics

Arlington, Virginia, United States

Company Description

Air is the leader in Enterprise Readiness. Our mission is to establish readiness as a real-time condition that is continuously achieved. Today, a dangerous Readiness Gap exists between what the front line needs and what is delivered. Our AI-native platform, Air Enterprise Readiness, aligns development, production, delivery, and sustainment into one coordinated execution system for government agencies and industrial suppliers. By revealing true capacity, exposing real constraints, coordinating resources, and executing at the speed of operational demands, the front line gets what it needs to succeed.

Job Description

We are seeking a high-energy, mission-focused, and deeply analytical Senior Manager, Business Insights and Analytics to take complete ownership of Air’s internal operational data ecosystem. In this role, you will lead the evolution of our corporate database management, analytics infrastructure, and business intelligence platforms.

To thrive at Air, you must be a data leader who is fiercely scrappy and possesses an absolute intolerance of mediocrity. You are not just a builder of dashboards; you are a trusted advisor to company leadership and an absolute expert in the "so what". You look past raw tables and numbers to see the big picture, translating complex, fragmented data into clear, strategic narratives that dictate operational execution. You challenge assumptions, ask the hard questions, and bring data to life to keep our growing organization moving fast and executing with precision.

This role is based in our Arlington, VA Headquarters and could require travel up to 10% of the time. 

Scope of Responsibilities

  • Data Ecosystem Ownership: Act as the ultimate owner of Air’s internal operational data, managing core database architecture, scaling data warehouses, and ensuring maximum reporting speed, performance, and data integrity.
  • BI Platform Modernization: Lead the architecture, deployment, and ongoing administration of enterprise business intelligence platforms to enable seamless, self-service data exploration.
  • Executive Insights & Analytics: Formulate, model, and track critical business metrics and KPIs, transforming manual data collection tasks into automated, repeatable, and scalable analytics solutions.
  • Strategic Advisory: Deliver concise, compelling data-driven findings and strategic recommendations directly to executives to guide high-stakes business and operational decisions.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with Sales, Product Management, Engineering, and Finance teams to capture internal business requirements and configure analytics platforms tailored to their strategic workflows.
  • Process Innovation: Doggedly seek out operational efficiencies, optimizing internal reporting workflows and refining analytical processes to eliminate friction.

Qualifications & Skills

  • U.S. Citizenship is mandatory.
  • Bachelor's degree in a quantitative field such as Computer Science, Data Science, Business Analytics, Mathematics, Statistics, or equivalent work experience.

Required:

  • 5+ years of hands-on experience working with data-driven analytics and enterprise business intelligence platforms (e.g., Sigma, PowerBI, Looker, or Looker Studio).
  • Advanced expertise deriving key business insights and KPIs from large, complex, and loosely defined internal datasets.
  • Strong proficiency in building, optimization, and automation using flavors of SQL and common database management tools.
  • Exceptional verbal and written communication skills with a proven ability to explain highly technical insights to non-technical stakeholders.
  • Ability to work independently with little supervision in a challenging, fast-paced tech environment.

Desired:

  • Current possession of a U.S. security clearance, or the ability to obtain one with our sponsorship.
  • Experience in or exposure to the nuances of a startup or other fast-growing, entrepreneurial tech environment.
  • Familiarity with regular script development in Python or R for data transformation and automation workflows.
  • Experience analyzing corporate performance, financial data, internal tech metrics, or operational process analytics within a software organization.
  • Demonstrated proficiency in leveraging AI-powered platforms (e.g., Claude Cowork, Gemini, NotebookLM) to drive operational efficiency; experience with agentic workflows and prompt engineering for data synthesis is a strong plus.

 

We firmly believe that past performance is the best indicator of future performance.  If you thrive while building solutions to complex problems, are a self-starter, and are passionate about making an impact in global security, we’re eager to hear from you.

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
