Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) : Employer Networking Session TONIGHT

The FBI is seeking to hire Management and Program Analyst (MAPA), a role general equivalent to that of a business analyst at private sector corporations.  MAPAs conduct evaluations of government programs (operational or administrative), propose ways to make these programs more effective and efficient by gathering and analyzing complex data sets and identifying organizational impediments such as gaps in skill sets, business process breakdowns, ineffective tools and poorly designed decision-making structures that must be addressed to drive innovation and improve performance.

Successful candidates will have a strong business acumen (although not necessarily be business majors) and  have a desire/motivation/orientation toward public sector work, particularly the national security mission of the FBI.  We are recruiting undergraduate students and graduate students who are U.S. citizens.
