About BMNT
In this role, you will join a rapidly growing innovation consulting firm, BMNT, Inc., headquartered in Palo Alto, CA with an east coast office in Arlington, VA. BMNT is unique because of the focus on Mission Acceleration - increasing the speed at which mission-driven organizations solve complex problems at scale. BMNT is not only an established thought leader in innovation but is actively changing how organizations think about and solve problems, as demonstrated by the creation of Hacking for Defense (H4D) ®. Our customers span across the U.S. public sector, and abroad in the United Kingdom and Australia.
About the Role
At BMNT, Senior Analysts are operators responsible for driving execution across the innovation pipeline.
As a Senior Analyst supporting the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Technology Accelerator, you will serve as a core execution lead under the Project Lead —owning project delivery, advancing validated problems into prototype development, and ensuring consistent progress across multiple lines of effort.
This role requires strong ownership, attention to detail, and the ability to operate independently while staying aligned to program priorities. You will manage day-to-day execution, contribute to problem curation and intake, and ensure work products are delivered at a high standard.

Work with Project Lead 1 to ensure alignment across multiple projects and priorities.
