Health, social, and policy research firm with compliance and program evaluation focus
JBS International delivers research, evaluation, and policy analysis for government and health sector clients, with a tech stack weighted heavily toward data science (Python, R, SAS, Stata, pandas) and visualization (Tableau, Plotly). Legal hiring dominates their active roles—7 of 16 positions—alongside data and healthcare staff, reflecting both rapid organizational growth and the compliance-heavy nature of their project portfolio (tobacco retailer checks, undercover buy operations, labeling inspections).
JBS International was founded in 1985 and operates as part of the Celerian Group, owned by Blue Cross Blue Shield of South Carolina since 2017. The firm employs over 400 people across offices in North Bethesda, MD and San Mateo, CA. They provide health IT, research and evaluation, policy analysis, and communications services to government agencies and health-focused organizations. Their project mix spans compliance testing, performance management system implementation, child welfare outcomes, youth tobacco control, and enterprise organizational change. Data analytics and monitoring capabilities underpin most engagements.
