Job Description:

Sanametrix is a minority-owned small business headquartered in Arlington, Virginia, that specializes in research and analysis, technology, and program support solutions for federal agencies. We are seeking a senior-level statistical analyst who brings both technical expertise and emerging leadership capability to a high-performing, multi-disciplinary team.

This role is designed not just for execution but for strategic impact, with a career path toward subject matter leadership or eventual division leadership. The ideal candidate will demonstrate a strong foundation in survey data analysis, combined with the vision, initiative, and collaboration skills necessary to contribute to the strategic direction of research efforts.

The statistical analyst will be deeply involved in the full data lifecycle—from design and acquisition to analysis and interpretation—and will serve as a mentor and technical guide for junior staff. The ideal candidate is adaptable, client-oriented, and passionate about leading analytical excellence in dynamic environments.

Duties and Responsibilities:

• Lead or co-lead analytical tasks on federal research projects, setting direction for junior analysts where appropriate.

• Communicate with clients and stakeholders to define project requirements, scope, and analytic strategies.

• Translate complex statistical findings into actionable insights for technical and non-technical audiences.

• Apply rigorous quality assurance to data editing, coding, and analytic processes.

• Conduct and guide analysis of complex survey and administrative data, including the application of weights and variance estimation.

• Design and produce data visualizations, summary statistics, and publication-quality tables.

• Review and validate technical work products, including scripts and statistical models, prepared by team members.

• Document methodologies and contribute to the authorship of methods and results sections of technical deliverables.

• Explore the integration of alternative data sources (e.g., big data) into survey-based research.

• Support project management through agile task tracking, documentation, and client presentations.

• Foster a collaborative and innovative team culture, contributing to the division’s strategic growth and knowledge base.

Required Skills, Qualifications, Certifications:

· U.S. Citizenship with ability to obtain and maintain a 6C Public Trust clearance.

· At least 10 years of professional experience in statistical analysis, preferably in federal statistical environments.

· Bachelor’s degree in Statistics, Data Science, Demography, Sociology, or a related field.

· Demonstrated expertise in survey data analysis, including variance estimation and weighting methodologies.

· Extensive experience using SAS, including SURVEY procedures; working knowledge of R (survey package).

· Proven ability to lead complex projects and mentor junior analysts while managing competing priorities.

· Excellent written and verbal communication skills, especially in explaining statistical findings to non-statisticians.

· Strong collaboration skills and a track record of effective teamwork within interdisciplinary settings.

· Initiative and judgment suited to taking on increasing levels of responsibility in technical and strategic roles.

Desired Skills, Qualifications, Certifications:

• Experience with Python and advanced analytics frameworks.

• Familiarity with project management and issue tracking tools (e.g., Jira).
