Program & business operations analyst

SAIC is seeking a versatile, detail-oriented, and highly adaptable Program & Business Operations Analyst to join our team. In this role, you will act as a key operational anchor and "jack of all trades," bridging the gap between program coordination, operational data analysis, and technical deliverable support.

Your typical week will involve a dynamic mix of responsibilities: conducting data validation and operational modeling in Excel, extracting metrics and managing workflows within ServiceNow, coordinating deliverables and organizing artifacts in SharePoint, drafting visual process flows in MS Visio, and building polished, executive-ready presentations in PowerPoint.

If you thrive in a multi-faceted environment where no two days are the same, and you enjoy solving operational puzzles while keeping project engines running smoothly, this role is built for you.

PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITIES & DUTIES

1. DATA ANALYSIS, VALIDATION & REPORTING (EXCEL & SERVICENOW)

• Extract, clean, reconcile, and validate operational, asset, and ticketing datasets across various program sources (primarily ServiceNow).
• Build and maintain advanced Excel workbooks using pivot tables, lookup functions, data validation rules, and summary dashboards to track operational trends and SLAs.
• Query ServiceNow tables, monitor operational queues, track change requests, and validate configuration/service management data integrity.
• Perform root-cause analysis on data discrepancies and implement quality control checks to ensure client-facing data is audit-ready and accurate.

2. BUSINESS PROCESS MAPPING & WORKFLOW DESIGN (VISIO & SERVICENOW)

• Partner with technical leads, service owners, and client stakeholders to capture and document end-to-end business workflows and IT operating procedures.
• Construct clear, standard-compliant process flowcharts, swimlane diagrams, and architecture/data flow representations using MS Visio.
• Assist in defining business rules, approval hierarchies, and user requirements for ServiceNow workflow automations and catalog items.
• Continuously evaluate operational bottlenecks and recommend pragmatic process improvements.

3. PROGRAM COORDINATION & DELIVERABLE MANAGEMENT (SHAREPOINT & PMO)

• Support project managers and program leadership with day-to-day coordination, schedule tracking, action item logs, and risk/issue tracking.
• Serve as a SharePoint site and document repository administrator: structuring folders, managing metadata, permissions, document versioning, and deliverable review cycles.
• Coordinate cross-functional inputs from technical SMEs to track project milestones and contractual deliverables against deadlines.
• Facilitate recurring operational meetings, capture minutes, and drive follow-up actions to resolution across distributed teams.

4. EXECUTIVE PRESENTATIONS & COMMUNICATIONS (POWERPOINT)

• Translate complex technical data, project health metrics, and workflow updates into clean, visually engaging, executive-level PowerPoint decks.
• Prepare weekly, monthly, and ad-hoc status briefing decks for internal program leadership and state/government client executives.
• Create standardized deliverable templates, one-pagers, and visual dashboards that maintain brand consistency and clarity.
