Budget Analysts

The Program Analyst plays a critical dual role in driving both the contractual and financial operations of the 88th Readiness Division's Directorate of Public Works (DPW) across a geographically dispersed, 258-facility, 19-state Army Reserve portfolio.

As the primary coordinator for DPW service contracts—including grounds maintenance, custodial services, refuse and recycling, and snow removal—you will exercise independent, professional judgment across the entire contract lifecycle, from pre-solicitation package development through closeout. Strict adherence to Contract Action Lead Time (CALT) thresholds is a primary performance indicator for this role to ensure zero lapses in essential services, maintaining the flawless execution standard established by our team's Contract Service Tracker.

In addition to contract administration, this role delivers the financial visibility necessary for DPW leadership to make proactive, data-driven execution decisions. You will conduct professional financial management on an enterprise scale, utility invoice validation, and budget analysis. By joining the Business Operations and Integration Division (BOID), you are stepping into a highly capable team that has successfully standardized Army-wide utility billing processes, developed integrated Power BI financial reporting, and collaborates with others to integrate cost-effective, innovative concepts that optimize the Army Reserve mission requirements.
