Data Analyst/Data & Measurement Analyst
Overview
LMI is seeking a Data Analyst/Data & Measurement Analyst to provide sustained, hands-on analytical capacity for Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) modernization initiatives. The role develops baselines, recurring metrics, validated calculations, dashboards, data-quality checks, and outcome evidence that help teams understand performance and make informed decisions.
This position follows a hybrid work model, with an expectation of approximately 25% onsite presence at LMI’s Tysons headquarters or Washington, DC.
The Data Analyst/Data & Measurement Analyst provides the recurring analytical backbone needed to turn agreed definitions into reliable evidence. The role is responsible for making sure metrics can be reproduced, reconciled, explained, and refreshed consistently rather than producing one-time analyses that are difficult to sustain.
The ideal candidate is detail- oriented but outcome focused. The analyst should be able to move from source data through cleaning, transformation, calculation, visualization, and narrative interpretation while maintaining a clear audit trail of definitions, assumptions, filters, denominators, and known data limitations.
The role depends heavily on stakeholder trust. The analyst should be able to explain why numbers changed, where a discrepancy came from, and what a measure actually represents . Strong candidates will not treat dashboard production as the end goal; they will focus on creating measures that stakeholders can understand and use consistently.
The ideal candidate is a strong execution analyst who can turn messy operational data into clear, traceable metrics and communicate what the numbers do - and do not - support.
LMI is a new breed of digital solutions provider dedicated to accelerating government impact with innovation and speed. Investing in technology and prototypes ahead of need, LMI brings commercial-grade platforms and mission-ready AI to federal agencies at commercial speed.
Leveraging our mission-ready technology and solutions, proven expertise in federal deployment, and strategic relationships, we enhance outcomes for the government, efficiently and effectively. With a focus on agility and collaboration, LMI serves the defense, space, healthcare, and energy sectors—helping agencies navigate complexity and outpace change. Headquartered in Tysons, Virginia, LMI is committed to delivering impactful results that strengthen missions and drive lasting value.

- Support ad-hoc analytical questions by quickly profiling data, testing hypotheses, and translating results into concise findings while preserving reproducibility.
- Work with stakeholders to translate reporting needs into precise metric definitions, data requirements, calculation rules, validation checks, and acceptance criteria before building recurring products.

- Strong practical skills with SQL, Excel and/or Python/R plus a visualization tool, with enough technical depth to trace a metric from dashboard output back to source data and calculation logic.
- Clear analytical writing and communication skills, including the ability to explain definitions, data-quality concerns, limitations, and changes in results to non-technical stakeholders.
- Experience eliciting and documenting reporting requirements, metric definitions, business rules, and acceptance criteria with business or mission stakeholders.
- Ability to manage multiple recurring and ad-hoc analytical requests, prioritize based on decision need and effort, and communicate realistic timelines when data access or quality is a constraint.
