  • Manage metadata per DoD standards, including DoD Metadata Registry (DoD 8320 series) and Net-centric Enterprise Services requirements
  • Provide architecture recommendations for DLA analytical platforms — data ingestion, storage, processing, and delivery layers
  • Support enhancement of DLA's Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW) — logical and physical schema design, data source integration, and analytical layer development
  • Develop data dictionaries, data inventories, and data lineage documentation across DLA's multi-system enterprise environment
  • Identify and register authoritative data sources across DLA data domains; document authoritative source designations per governance policy
  • Conduct data quality assessments — profile source data, document quality issues, and produce remediation recommendations
  • Support data governance working groups and data stewardship council activities — facilitation, briefings, and deliverable preparation
  • Develop and maintain artifacts including logical data models, conceptual data models, metadata management plans, and enterprise architecture alignment documents
  • Prepare monthly progress reports, IPR briefing charts, and deliverables for COR review

Required Qualifications
  • 5+ years of experience as a Data Architect, Enterprise Data Architect, or equivalent technical role
  • Experience supporting a Chief Data Officer (CDO), enterprise data governance office, or equivalent organizational function in a federal agency or DoD component
  • Demonstrated experience developing enterprise data and analytics strategy documents, data management frameworks, or data governance charters
  • Experience with DoD metadata management standards and data policy — DoD 8320 series, Net-centric Enterprise Services, or equivalent federal data standards
  • Experience designing or enhancing Enterprise Data Warehouses (EDW) — logical/physical schema, data flow architecture, multi-source integration
  • Proficiency with data modeling tools: ERwin, SAP PowerDesigner, ER/Studio, or equivalent enterprise data modeling platform
  • Experience developing data dictionaries, data inventories, and data lineage documentation across complex, multi-system environments
  • Experience identifying and designating authoritative data sources, conducting data quality assessments, and producing remediation recommendations
  • IAT Level II certification (per DoD 8570.01-M / DoD 8140) at time of start — qualifying certifications include: CompTIA Security+, CISSP, CCNA Security, CySA+, or equivalent from the DoD-approved list

  • Experience standing up or supporting data stewardship councils or data governance working groups in a federal environment
  • CDMP (Certified Data Management Professional) or TOGAF certification — strong differentiator for proposal evaluation
