Federal Financial Analyst

Federal Financial Analyst – DOI Contract Support

Chenhall Staffing has been awarded a contract to support the Office of Strategic Resources (OSR) at the Marine Minerals Administration (MMA), U.S. Department of the Interior, and is hiring a Financial Analyst to fill this role.

This position is fully onsite in Sterling, VA (no remote option) and requires U.S. citizenship and the ability to pass a federal background investigation.

This role is best suited to candidates with direct federal contract or federal agency financial experience — not general corporate FP&A or investment analysis. If your background is primarily commercial, this likely isn't the right fit.

What You Bring

• 5+ years of relevant financial/administrative experience, ideally in a federal contracting or federal agency environment
