Federal Data Analyst

About Belisar

Belisar is the CRM designed for government contracting. It enables the best technology to win, fusing internal context, intuitive AI, and real-time data into a unified view of the market.

Federal contracting has long run on tools that were never built for it: Generic CRMs designed for commercial sales, legacy data platforms that surface noise instead of signal, and institutional knowledge locked in spreadsheets and inboxes. Belisar unifies all the important intelligence into a single, AI-native platform — so teams can see opportunities earlier, move faster, and win the work that matters.

Belisar is backed by a16z and trusted by leading defense, space, and government leaders including Boeing, Forterra, Scout AI, Vannevar Labs, Aevex, and the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU).

Together, we're building toward one outcome

The Role

• Partner with the rest of the data team, shaping long-term priorities for data coverage, structure, and quality
• Partner with product and engineering to translate data gaps and customer feedback into architecture and UI improvements

• Strong analytical writing, where you can turn a dataset into a clear, credible narrative for an executive audience
