- Can manage detailed work independently, exercise sound judgment, and communicate your findings clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.

Experience with regulatory compliance or examinations, healthcare benefit plans, market conduct, data science or research, NAIC systems, or tools such as TeamMate, ThoughtSpot, or Snowflake is a plus. Professional designations such as MCM, FLMI, CIE, or AIE are also valued.
Most importantly, we’re looking for someone who can combine strong insurance knowledge with analytical curiosity and sound judgment—someone who wants their work to have a real impact on consumers and the insurance marketplace in Washington.

Program Analyst Jobs in Washington: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a program analyst in Washington?
Most program analyst positions in Washington require at least a bachelor's degree in public administration, business, information systems, or a closely related field. There is no state-issued license specific to this role, but candidates targeting federal contracting work in Washington often pursue a Project Management Professional certification or a Certified Associate in Project Management credential. State agency roles typically require familiarity with Washington's budget and legislative processes, which candidates can demonstrate through coursework, internships, or prior government employment.
How much do program analysts make in Washington?
Program analysts in Washington earn a median of about $129,410 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $74,470 for the lowest 10% to over $197,600 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire program analysts in Washington?
Employers hiring program analysts in Washington right now include Kyo, State of Washington, and COBEC, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Washington's large federal contracting community and major state agencies make it one of the more consistent markets for this role outside the Beltway.
Which Washington cities have the most program analyst jobs?
Seattle, Renton, and Everett are the cities with the most program analyst openings in Washington. Seattle leads because of its concentration of federal contractors, large technology companies, and regional headquarters, while Olympia draws demand through Washington state agency roles, and the Tacoma area benefits from proximity to Joint Base Lewis-McChord and the defense contractors that support it.
Are there remote program analyst jobs in Washington?
Yes, and more than most fields. Program analysis is primarily a desk-based, documentation-heavy role that translates well to remote work. About 50% of program analyst openings tied to Washington are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, reflecting how broadly distributed the remote option has become in this field. Roles focused on data reporting, performance tracking, and policy analysis are the most likely to offer full remote or hybrid arrangements.
How can I get hired as a program analyst in Washington with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is through a Washington state agency internship or a federal contractor junior analyst position, both of which routinely hire candidates without prior professional experience. The Washington State Department of Commerce, the Health Care Authority, and large contractors like Leidos and Peraton run associate or analyst-in-training tracks aimed at recent graduates. Candidates from adjacent roles such as administrative coordinator, budget assistant, or research assistant can move laterally once they demonstrate familiarity with program documentation and data tracking. Earning a Certified Associate in Project Management credential before applying gives entry-level candidates a measurable edge.
Where can I find and apply to program analyst jobs in Washington?
You can find and apply to program analyst jobs in Washington on Migrate Mate, which lists current Washington openings updated regularly. Search the listings, find roles that fit your background and preferred location, and apply directly to the employer through the posting.
