Original job description

The Capabilities, Analysis and Development (CAD) division of Applied Research Associates, Inc. (ARA) has an outstanding opportunity for a Journeyman Program Evaluation Specialist to support a multi-disciplinary team providing data analysis, business intelligence, operations research, and decision support across the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) mission space. As a Senior Evaluation Lead you will serve as a strategic advisor responsible for guiding DHS S&T’s evidence-building strategy, leading complex evaluations of high-impact research and technology programs, and advising leadership on performance, effectiveness, and mission value. This role ensures S&T complies with the Foundations for Evidence-Based Policymaking Act (Evidence Act) and positions the Directorate to make high quality, data-driven decisions about research investments.

Key Responsibilities:

Lead complex, enterprise-level evaluations of S&T research portfolios, technology transition programs, and innovation initiatives.
Shape and refine S&T’s Evidence Act requirements: learning agendas, evaluation plans, evidence inventories, and capacity assessments.
Provide strategic guidance on evaluation approaches for emerging technologies, prototypes, operational experimentation, and pilot programs.
Advise senior leadership on evidence-based decision-making, risks, and investment trade-offs.
Oversee development of evaluation frameworks, performance indicators, and long-term impact measures.
Lead cross-directorate collaboration with DHS components, FFRDCs, laboratories, and interagency partners.
Manage evaluation contractors and ensure methodological rigor and compliance with DHS scientific integrity standards.
Champion a culture of learning and continuous improvement across the Directorate.
Communicate findings to senior stakeholders, including SES-level briefings and congressional or OMB-facing materials, as appropriate.

Required Qualifications:

Extensive experience leading program or policy evaluations, ideally in science, technology, innovation, or national security domains.
Must be a US citizen.
Able to obtain and maintain DHS Suitability.
Bachelors degree with 8-10 years of experience.
Mastery of evaluation methodologies and ability to tailor approaches to RDT&E environments.
Strong leadership, stakeholder management, and strategic assessment skills.
Demonstrated ability to guide executive decision-making using evidence and analysis.
Ability to work with multidisciplinary teams.
Flexibility to know when other methods may be appropriate.

Preferred Qualifications:

Masters degree or PhD with 6-8 years of experience.
Deep understanding of DHS mission needs, S&T’s RDT&E processes, and federal evidence-building requirements.
Experience shaping organization-wide evaluation strategies or frameworks.
Graduate degree (Masters or PhD) in evaluation, social science, public policy, engineering management, or related fields.

Working Conditions:

Work will be remote with occasional travel to client site and potential evaluation sites. Client offices are at DHS’ St. Elizabeth campus in Washington, D.C.

Compensation & Benefits: Pay Ranges: From $120,000.00 - $160,000.00 per year based on years of experience, degree and any special skills and knowledge that you may bring to the position. We mostly reserve the upper half of our compensation bands for internal growth. During all call with one of our recruiters or hiring managers, they can further clarify the salary range and total compensation. ARA offers competitive benefits that address our employees’ needs now and in the future. Learn more about each of our benefits at https://www.ara.com/benefits/
