Reporting Lead

Join Peraton in advancing the safety, efficiency, and modernization of the National Airspace System (NAS) through the FAA’s Brand New Air Traffic Control System (BNATCS) contract. As a trusted partner to the Federal Aviation Administration, Peraton helps deliver the systems and services that keep our nation’s skies safe and connected. We’re looking for innovative professionals who thrive in mission-critical environments and are passionate about shaping the future of air traffic management. This is your chance to make an impact on one of the world’s most vital transportation infrastructures, working alongside leaders in aviation, engineering, data science, and systems integration.

 

At Peraton, you won’t just support the mission — you’ll define it.

 

Data-driven insight is essential to the success of large-scale aviation programs. Peraton is seeking a Reporting Lead to drive reporting strategy, performance analytics, and CDRL (Contract Data Requirements List) management supporting high-visibility programs aligned with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). This position is ideal for a strategic analyst who enjoys combining data analytics, program reporting, and operational process improvement in a mission-critical environment.

 

Work Location:

• This position is 100% on-site, primarily located in Herndon, VA, with an alternate work location available in Bowie, MD. Candidates must be able to work on-site at one of these locations based on program requirements.

 

Your Impact:

In this role, you will transform operational data into meaningful insights that guide program performance, decision-making, and continuous improvement. You will lead reporting processes across multiple workstreams, manage contractual reporting requirements, and design dashboards that provide real-time visibility into program health.

Reporting Strategy & Program Visibility

• Lead program-level reporting activities across multiple workstreams and operational teams. Oversee CDRL management, ensuring timely and accurate delivery of contractual reports and deliverables. Develop standardized reporting frameworks that provide consistent visibility into program performance. 

Analytics & Performance Measurement

• Develop dashboards and reporting tools to track Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and Service Level Agreements (SLAs). Conduct advanced trend analysis to identify performance patterns and operational risks. Move beyond descriptive reporting to predictive insights, helping leadership anticipate future outcomes. Monitor program performance metrics and recommend improvements to optimize operations.

Process Improvement & Operational Optimization

• Analyze current reporting processes and identify opportunities for automation, efficiency, and standardization. Support modernization initiatives by aligning reporting capabilities with evolving program needs. Refine business processes that support reporting, analytics, and program governance. 

Data Visualization & Decision Support

• Design and maintain interactive executive dashboards and reporting platforms. Translate complex data sets into clear, actionable insights for leadership audiences. Provide insights that guide risk mitigation, resource planning, and operational improvements.

Stakeholder Collaboration

• Work closely with program managers, technical teams to align reporting with operational priorities. Facilitate discussions on reporting requirements, metrics definitions, and performance expectations. 

Why This Opportunity Stands Apart

The BNATCS program represents one of the most ambitious aviation modernization initiatives in decades. This role places you at the center of securing systems that power the next generation of air traffic control technology. This role provides a unique opportunity to shape how data is used to manage complex aviation programs. 

 

The mission is consequential. The responsibility is real. The impact is nationwide. Your work will:

• Strengthen the safety of the U.S. aviation system.

• Support nationally significant modernization initiatives.

• Place you at the forefront of mission-driven federal engineering.

Basic Qualifications:
