Senior Congressional Support / Management Analyst About the Role

We are seeking an experienced Senior Congressional Support / Management Analyst to support the F-35 Lightning II Joint Program Office (JPO). This role focuses on providing analytical, coordination, and advisory support related to Congressional engagement and legislative activity affecting one of the Department of Defense’s most visible programs. The ideal candidate brings a strong understanding of the legislative process and experience working at the intersection of government programs and Capitol Hill.

(This role is a part of a proposal support.)

In this role, you will support the preparation and coordination of materials responding to Congressional requests, staff inquiries, and formal taskers. You will help develop briefing packages, staffing papers, and response documents that clearly communicate program information to legislative audiences.

You will also provide rapid-turn analysis on the potential programmatic and financial impacts of proposed legislation and budget actions affecting the F-35 program. This includes collaborating with program, financial, and policy teams to assess implications and present findings in a concise and accurate manner. As part of the role, you may attend Congressional hearings and briefings alongside F-35 program staff, supporting situational awareness and follow-on actions.

Candidates must possess a bachelor’s degree in a relevant field and at least 10 years of experience in management analysis, legislative affairs support, or related roles. An active Secret security clearance is required. Successful candidates will demonstrate strong analytical and writing skills, sound judgment, and the ability to work effectively in fast-paced, high-visibility environments.

At least five years of experience working on or with Capitol Hill, within a federal legislative or policy office, or in a government relations role is strongly preferred. Experience spanning government and defense or private-sector organizations is a plus, along with familiarity with defense authorization and appropriations processes.

This position offers a unique opportunity to contribute directly to Congressional engagement efforts for the F-35 program. You’ll work closely with senior leaders and stakeholders, helping ensure accurate, timely information supports informed decision-making at the highest levels.
