About the Team
Strategic Analysis, Inc. (SA) is an industry-leading government professional services firm headquartered in Arlington, VA. Founded in 1986, SA employs approximately 200 professionals who provide scientific, technical, and programmatic support to national defense clients. Our dedicated Conference Services Division consists of over 20 meeting professionals, including conference center specialists and government meeting and event planners.
Our government clients are primarily in the Department of Defense scientific research and development field. The work we do is genuinely impactful and rewarding, supporting meaningful missions through seamless event execution.
About the Role

Our team includes experienced meeting planners and event professionals who genuinely enjoy working together. We offer a collaborative and supportive culture with opportunities for growth and increased responsibility. If you enjoy creating exceptional experiences, solving problems in real time, and being part of a mission-driven team, we'd love to hear from you.
