Overview

The Operations Research Systems Analyst (ORSA) provides advanced analytic, modeling, and decision-support capabilities to address complex operational and strategic challenges across USINDOPACOM’s Area of Responsibility (AOR). This role applies rigorous quantitative and qualitative methods—combined with military and intelligence expertise—to generate assessments that inform senior leadership decisions, improve operational planning, and enhance mission effectiveness. The ideal candidate is a senior-level analyst with deep experience in decision analytics, modeling and simulation, data mining, metrics development, and statistical evaluation in support of DoD or Intelligence Community missions.

Responsibilities

Advanced Analytical Support & Decision Science

+ Designs, develops, and applies a variety of decision-analytics methods—including mathematical and statistical models, simulations, modeling tools, and data-mining techniques—to solve operational and planning problems.

+ Produces unique, timely, and interdisciplinary analysis that integrates multi-source intelligence data to inform senior leadership decisions on urgent and complex issues.

Line of Effort (LOE) Modeling & Campaign Assessment

+ Plans, coordinates, and conducts analytic assessments associated with LOE modeling across USINDOPACOM’s AOR.

+ Evaluates intelligence mission activities to measure effectiveness, identify gaps, and inform operational improvements.

Metrics Development & Assessment

+ Consults with subject matter experts to develop robust qualitative and quantitative metrics including:

+ Measures of Performance (MOPs)

+ Measures of Effectiveness (MOEs)

+ Supports campaign plan assessment by developing models that track progress toward operational and strategic objectives.

Analytic Tradecraft Development

+ Develops and documents advanced analytic methods such as statistical analysis, data-mining workflows, mathematical modeling, and simulation.

+ Improves analytic tradecraft and standardizes approaches for repeatable, high-quality intelligence analysis.

Modeling, Simulation & Data Visualization

+ Simulates the flow of data, events, and operational variables to identify process, capability, or resource constraints.

+ Uses advanced data-visualization tools to translate analytic findings into clear, actionable insights.

Data Collection, Reduction & Evaluation

+ Identifies critical data elements and indicator variables required for analytic models.

+ Designs and implements data-collection plans; organizes data reduction and analysis activities.

+ Evaluates reported information against predetermined thresholds and criteria to support operational assessments.

Senior-Level Engagement & Briefings

+ Prepares and presents statistical results, model outputs, and analytic findings to USINDOPACOM senior leadership.

+ Ensures all assessments are clear, accurate, and aligned with decision-maker needs.

Boards, Centers, Cells & Working Groups (B2C2WG) Support

+ Serves as primary or alternate analyst supporting B2C2WGs, Operational Planning Teams (OPTs), and other relevant fora.

+ Provides analytic expertise, decision-support tools, and modeling insights to enhance operational planning and global integration.

Qualifications

+ Senior-level experience conducting operations research, modeling, or decision analytics for DoD or IC missions.

+ Expertise in developing MOPs/MOEs, campaign assessments, and analytic frameworks.

+ Proficiency in statistical analysis, data mining, simulation, and modeling tools.

+ Ability to translate complex data into executive-level briefings and decision-support products.

+ Experience supporting planning teams, B2C2WGs, or operational-level staff processes.

+ Strong written and oral communication skills.

Preferred Qualifications

+ Experience supporting a Geographic Combatant Command, ideally USINDOPACOM or similar.

+ Familiarity with intelligence assessments, LOE modeling, and operational campaign design.

+ Advanced degree in Operations Research, Applied Mathematics, Engineering, Systems Analysis, Statistics, or related field.
