At G2 Ops, we have extremely competitive pay and benefits but that is not even the best part. Our culture is what sets us apart from other companies. With us, you will not be another payroll number or a cog in the machine. We provide great value to our customers by working as a team and ensuring every member is set up for success. Our team approach allows for each member to not only provide value with their expertise but also gives them the opportunity to cross-train in other areas in which they have an interest.
Embracing AI. G2 Ops stays ahead of the competition by embracing the latest technologies, including Artificial Intelligence (AI). We are looking for team members who are excited to explore and implement AI solutions that can improve internal workflows and deliver superior results for our clients. Whether you are reducing manual processes or developing predictive models, we provide the tools and support to make AI an integral part of your work.
Let's talk salary. The annual salary range for this position is $140,000 and goes up to $180,000, based on your qualifications. We also offer a competitive benefits package and have fringe benefits offered throughout the year. The benefits package value ranges from $13,000 for a single employee, and up to $28,000 for an employee and their family.

So, you want to work from home? Let's be honest, remote work is not always all it's cut out to be. At G2 Ops, we offer a flexible schedule to meet the needs of our employees and customers. Due to the classification level of the projects we support, we are not able to offer fully remote opportunities at this time. As a Defense Contractor, we are frequently working with sensitive material, and therefore, we need to ensure where you access your work is secure. You will have a shiny desk at our G2 Ops office, plus the opportunity to work at a military site directly with our customers (this is a good thing!). We do allow teleworking with prior approval, but supporting the DoD, you will be required to work at a military site as well. Here's the thing, we have worked very hard to create an awesome culture where our employees get to come to a collaborative, exciting office environment and we want you to join the fun!
