About the Role
The Surface Forces Logistics Center sustains every cutter and boat in the Coast Guard fleet, and it runs on data.

The Analyst builds models, runs simulations, mines large datasets, and translates quantitative findings into recommendations that SFLC leadership acts on. This role suits an analyst who is equally effective in the analysis and in the briefing room.
