Full job description
Role Title: Federal Budget Analyst
Role Type: Contractor
Location: Remote
micro1 is engaging Federal Budget Analysts to contribute to a customer's project focused on budget formulation and execution within the federal sector. In this role, you'll apply your expertise to help train next-generation AI systems. Your work will shape how models learn, reason, and perform through high-quality, real-world input.
Scope of Work
- Create realistic training examples of federal budget justification materials, including narratives, exhibits, and supporting analyses.
- Write sample responses to OMB passback with clear, well-supported analysis, and annotate the reasoning behind each choice.
- Document mid-year reprogramming scenarios, noting which actions require higher-level approval and how they stay consistent with spend plans.
- Build worked examples that compare actual expenditures against planned obligations, evaluate fund availability, and explain variances.
- Walk through year-end closeout step by step, including reconciliation with accounting records and resolution of discrepancies.
- Write guidance on funding types, budget changes, and compliance requirements, drawing on how experienced analysts advise program managers.
- Produce templates, process walkthroughs, and annotated examples that capture how federal budget work is actually done.
- Review AI-generated budget content for accuracy, realism, and compliance, and explain what is wrong or missing so it can be corrected.
Preferred Qualifications
- 5+ years of federal budget experience at about the GS-11/12 level or higher, in GS-0560, 0501, 0510, or comparable roles.
- Experience with budget formulation, execution, and funds control.
- Experience with OMB submissions, reprogramming, and year-end closeout.
- Familiarity with federal accounting and budget execution systems.
- Financial management certification (DoD FM, CGFM, or similar) a plus.
