Silverthorne Advisory Group is seeking a candidate to join an exciting and growing opportunity within the Defense sector. The day-to-day responsibilities of the role would entail the oversight of client delivery for a complex workstream in an analytic space. The candidate would act as a lead for a mid-size team to enhance a client’s financial management practices through leveraging current data analytic capabilities. The candidate will also operate in an ever-changing landscape and will be directly involved in finding opportunities for future growth. 

On a regular basis, the candidate will be challenged to lead the analysis of large data sets in an effort to advise the client on strategic and financial decisions. Being familiar or fluent in scripting languages (i.e. SQL and/or Python) will be key in the daily scope of responsibilities. The subsequent creation of documentation, change management, and implementation to a broad group of stakeholders will likely follow these discovery efforts. The candidate will likely act as a key point of coordination between other financial management teams, technical liaisons, and an Independent Public Accountant (IPA).  

The position will be based at Scott AFB (Illinois): on-site.
