The individual shall act as an expert advisor to the Government on matters relating to people, processes, and technology, and shall develop enterprise BI service offerings that improve Government business processes and accelerate leadership decision cycles.

The individual shall be responsible for transforming complex enterprise data into secure, authoritative visual products aligned to the Command's operational requirements, for establishing the data quality and governance underpinning every analytics solution, and for developing the quantitative and qualitative methods used to evaluate the impact of KM initiatives.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop new BI service offerings and architectures that enhance enterprise decision-making through fact-based insights, leveraging data warehousing, operational data stores, and BI best practices.
• Establish and maintain BI architectures supporting fact-based decisions, real-time insights, and ad-hoc analysis for Government stakeholders.
• Elicit decision questions from leadership and translate them into analytic requirements, defining business outcomes, Key Performance Indicators, and success metrics aligned to KM objectives.
• Deliver decision-support dashboards and visual analytics aligned to leadership battle rhythm and staff workflows, integrating authoritative content from enterprise platforms and workflows so dashboards present validated, timely information for leadership decision events.
• Establish data quality and governance for all analytics solutions by defining authoritative data sources, metadata, refresh schedules, and access controls, and by applying Power BI modeling and Data Analysis Expressions practices consistent with enterprise standards.
• Model enterprise data flows and establish data pipelines from authoritative sources, ensuring governance consistency with the Command KM Directive and RM program standards for taxonomy, metadata, and disposition.
• Implement data quality and provenance controls including capture source, lineage, classification, retention, and compliance artifacts in reports and underlying datasets.
• Use, with Government approval and authorization for the applicable security environment, AI and Machine Learning features within Power BI to identify trends, anomalies, and predictive insights supporting leadership decisions.
• Develop analytical frameworks — both quantitative (metrics, KPIs, statistical methods) and qualitative (interviews, observations, thematic analysis) — to measure the effectiveness of KM and process improvement initiatives.
• Develop dashboards, scorecards, and reporting artifacts that communicate initiative results to leadership and decision-makers, and track organizational performance trends to assess sustained impact.
• Define reporting cadences and deliverables, including monthly status reporting inputs, sprint reviews, and executive summaries, to keep leadership informed of progress and risk.
• Engage directly with end users to identify BI gaps, requirements, and opportunities for new analytical capabilities, and integrate BI offerings with other automation services to create a unified enterprise knowledge ecosystem.
• Provide adoption and sustainment artifacts including clear documentation and training for end users and administrators, instrument usage telemetry, and define measures of effectiveness; mentor business intelligence analysts assigned to the program.

• Shall be a U.S. citizen and shall possess an active Top Secret (TS) clearance with eligibility to SCI based on a Single Scope Background Investigation (SSBI).
• Bachelor's degree in Data Analytics, Statistics, Computer Science, Information Systems, Business, or a related discipline; additional directly relevant experience may substitute for the degree.
• A minimum of eight (8) years of business intelligence or data analytics experience, including at least five (5) years designing and delivering Power BI solutions at enterprise scale.
• Demonstrated expertise in data modeling and Data Analysis Expressions, including semantic model design, row-level security, and performance tuning.
• Experience building data pipelines from authoritative sources into a data warehouse or operational data store, with working SQL proficiency.
• Demonstrated experience defining KPIs and measures of effectiveness directly with senior stakeholders and translating decision questions into analytic requirements.
