Peraton Labs is seeking a Strategic Technical & Analytics Communications Lead to support the BNATCS CTO in conducting rigorous analytical review, developing trusted decision‑support products, and translating complex technical and analytical findings into clear, credible communications for stakeholders across Peraton, FAA BNATCS, and government leadership.

This role requires hands‑on comfort with data, analytical reasoning, and technical subject matter. Within the role you must be able to independently explore information, assess the credibility of AI‑generated or system‑generated outputs, validate findings against available evidence, and shape those findings into clear, decision‑ready products for senior program stakeholders.

This isn't a traditional communications‑only role, and instead sits at the intersection of technical analysis, AI‑enabled decision support, executive communication, visualization strategy, and stakeholder engagement. The ideal candidate for this position will understand how to frame the right operational questions, interrogate complex information, apply structured analytical judgment, and communicate findings with clarity, accuracy, and strategic awareness.

This is a rare opportunity to shape how highly technical, AI‑enabled, and analytically driven work is understood by the people making critical decisions. You will help ensure that complex program realities are communicated with clarity, credibility, discipline, and judgment.

• Apply Editorial & Strategic Judgment – Maintain strong editorial discipline and strategic awareness in high‑visibility environments where precision, timing, and credibility directly affect stakeholder confidence and program outcomes

• Demonstrated experience translating complex technical, analytical, or scientific information into clear products for senior decision‑makers and mixed audiences
• Demonstrated ability to work with data‑driven or analytically derived information, including the ability to assess findings, identify gaps, validate outputs, and communicate conclusions responsibly
