Overview

The Enterprise Portfolio Management Office (EPMO) oversees technology portfolio investments at Navy Federal through fostering collaborative partnerships across the enterprise, facilitating guardrails and lean governance, ensuring due diligence in the analysis, approval, and funding of technology work, and supporting informed decision-making and governance of a value-focused enterprise portfolio. The EPMO Value Realization and Analytics team focuses on providing quantitative analysis and value-driven insights into the selection and management of work within Navy Federal’s internal technology portfolio. In collaboration with EPMO Governance and our business unit and technology partners, we develop and manage definitions, standards, and practices that help to ensure that our leaders have deeper data-centered information about both the risks and the value propositions to drive decisions about our technology portfolio investments.

Navy Federal’s commitment to its members requires that the organization constantly provide improved technical services and features to ensure a top tier member experience. Technology improvements are key to achieving this goal, and the EPMO is central to improving the governing and funding processes. This internship will focus on building and improving the data and analytical capabilities and tools that facilitate the EPMO’s governance responsibilities.

This role will interact with many stakeholders across the credit union and provide an opportunity to view the operations of Navy Federal from a unique vantage point. The Summer Associate will have the opportunity to work with executive leadership in the EPMO and elsewhere, and influence decision making at the corporate level. It is essential for the team member in this position to be comfortable briefing senior leaders, especially on data and quantitative insights, and to be a strong independent and innovative thinker.

The Summer Associate will work cross-functionally between departments, focusing on the intersection of analytics and business. The primary Summer Associate project will focus on how Navy Federal can improve how the credit union uses analytics to make data-driven decisions around technology project selection and financing. This project will require a Summer Associate who has an interest and comfort with quantitative analysis and the ability to communicate this analysis to senior business professionals. The Summer Associate will also be given the opportunity to pursue secondary projects that align with their professional and academic interests.

The Summer Associate Program is a 12-week internship program beginning in May 2025 and ending in August 2025. Students will work on impactful projects and meaningful work during their internship.
