Cloud Programs Analyst - Technical Background

Are you looking for your next challenge? Are you ready to work with a performance-based small company? At Zantech, we are a dynamic Woman Owned Small Business focused on providing complex, mission-focused solutions with a proven track record of outstanding customer performance and high employee satisfaction. We would love to talk with you regarding the next step in your career. Come join our team!

Zantech is looking for a Cloud Programs Analyst with a Technical Backround to support a federal IT modernization program for a major civilian agency in the Washington, DC Metro area. This is a hybrid role for someone who thrives at the intersection of technology and communication - someone who understands how cloud infrastructure and IT modernization programs work, and whose greatest strength is translating that complexity into sharp, polished materials for senior government leaders.

This is not a deep technical hands-on role. It is a high-visibility communications and analytical support role. If you are energized by the challenge of walking into a room of senior executives with a crisp brief you built from raw program data - this position is for you.

What You Will Do:

• Develop and deliver executive-level briefings, talking points, status reports, and presentations for senior federal leadership audiences (think C-suite equivalent government officials)
• Translate complex cloud migration and IT modernization program activity into clear, concise executive narratives using PowerPoint, Word, and Excel
• Support cloud schedule tracking and reporting, turning data into visual dashboards and program summaries that inform leadership decisions
• Respond rapidly to ad-hoc data calls and tasking requests from government leads
• Coordinate with technical team members to gather, synthesize, and accurately represent program status, risks, and accomplishments
• Manage program documentation, action item tracking, and recurring reporting cadences
• Support development of talking points and materials for external government conferences and interagency engagements
• Maintain knowledge management content using Microsoft 365 collaboration tools

What You Must Bring:

• 3–5 years of experience in a role where producing polished briefings, reports, or executive communications was central
• The ability to absorb technical information quickly and retell it clearly to a non-technical audience
• Strong command of Microsoft 365, particularly PowerPoint, Word, and Excel; you should be able to build a compelling executive slide deck without a template
• Excellent verbal communication and presentation skills; you are comfortable presenting your work to senior stakeholders

What You Need to Have:

• Experience supporting federal IT programs, cloud migration initiatives, or government IT modernization efforts
• Familiarity with cloud migration and tools (AWS, Azure, or similar)
• AWS Cloud Practitioner/Architect certification
• Experience with data visualization tools (Power BI experience needed)
• Background in a advisory environment where you regularly prepared materials for senior decision-makers

What We Are Not Looking For:

• Someone who has "excellent communication skills" because it was listed on their last JD - we want someone who can show it

Required Security Clearance:
U.S. Citizenship required. Must currently hold an active DHS/CBP High Public Trust (BI Level 4 or 5) or an active DoD Top Secret clearance. This is a non-negotiable requirement.
