Cloud Programs Analyst - Technical Background

Job Overview Zantech is looking for a Cloud Programs Analyst with a technical background 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 and can translate complex cloud infrastructure and IT modernization programs into sharp, polished materials for senior government leaders. What You Will Do Develop and deliver executive-level briefings, talking points, status reports, and presentations for senior federal leadership audiences. 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 Microsoft365 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 Microsoft365, 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 (PowerBI experience needed). Background in an advisory environment where you regularly prepared materials for senior decision‑makers.

Must currently hold an active DHS/CBP High Public Trust (BI Level4 or5) or an active DoD Top Secret clearance. This is a non‑negotiable requirement. Benefits Competitive compensation. Strong benefits package. Vacation package. Fast‑paced and exciting work environment. #J-18808-Ljbffr
