NGA MAVEN PROGRAM · GEOINT · DATA ANALYTICS · MIDDLE
Great AI/ML models start with great data — and great data starts with analysts who understand what they're looking at. As the Data Analyst on NGA Maven, you'll dig into complex geospatial datasets, surface patterns and compliance gaps, and translate raw data holdings into recommendations that sharpen machine learning development.
The Data Analyst supports the maintenance of data holdings, ensures compliance to data standards, and performs quantitative analysis of data. You'll transform data, develop visualizations to assist with understanding, and conduct analysis to make recommendations on data strategies to improve Machine Learning model development. Day-to-day, you'll work with the GEOSPI team to automate standard processes, build lightweight analytics tools, manage data dictionaries, and ensure the pipeline stays compliant and productive.
Source-Derived Role Summary
The Data Analyst shall support the maintenance of data holdings, ensure compliance to data standards, and perform quantitative analysis of data. Data analysis will involve transforming data, developing visuals to assist with data understanding, and conducting analysis to make recommendations on data strategies to improve Machine Learning (ML) model development.
Mission Impact
The quality and diversity of NGA Maven's training data directly determines the performance of the AI/ML models that support national security operations. Your analysis identifies gaps, validates compliance, and recommends curation strategies that make those models better.
Geo Owl Impact
You contribute to Geo Owl's track record of delivering reliable, high-quality GEOINT data support on Maven — a program that reflects our core identity as a mission-first geospatial company.
Your Growth
You'll build applied experience in geospatial data analytics and ML pipeline support within a high-stakes intelligence community environment — a strong foundation for advancing toward data science or senior analyst roles.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience Point Requirement
This is a Middle-level (Level 3) position requiring a minimum of 5 experience points. Points are calculated as follows:
✔ Great Fit
You are a mid-level data or geospatial analyst who wants to apply quantitative skills to a mission that matters. You're comfortable working with large geospatial datasets, building analytical tools, and making evidence-based data strategy recommendations in an environment where the work supports national security outcomes.
✘ May Not Be For You
This may not be the right fit if you prefer pure research roles with limited operational accountability, or if working with structured data governance requirements and compliance standards feels limiting rather than grounding.
This role gives you hands-on experience with geospatial data analytics in a real intelligence community environment — working alongside imagery scientists, data engineers, and AI/ML practitioners on one of NGA's most technically demanding programs. Experience supporting ML data operations at scale is increasingly valuable across the defense and commercial geospatial markets.
