About The Position

The Data Analyst runs the scheduled data-quality rules for the Defense Health Agency Disability Evaluation System (DES) program, classifies and routes detected errors to the Military Department, Department of Veterans Affairs, or DHA system owner responsible for correcting them, and maintains the error register that produces the weekly error listing delivered to the Government.

• 2+ years of data analysis experience.
• Experience executing scheduled data validation routines.

Responsibilities

• Execute the documented data-quality rule set on a fixed weekly cycle across all program-related systems and capture every exception.
• Classify each detected error by cause category and route it to the responsible Military Department, Department of Veterans Affairs, or DHA system owner — to a named individual rather than an organization.
• Maintain the error register, including control number, detection date and rule, affected record, assigned cause, owner, action taken, closure date, and verification method, and generate the weekly error listing from it.
• Deliver ad hoc analysis and reporting within two business days in the specified format, recording the query and pull date at the time of production.
• Support the satisfaction survey program by monitoring field periods, validating cohort lists for grade, rank, contact information, and participation eligibility, and returning undeliverable data to the error register.
• Maintain the caregiver compensation database as a shared cumulative record and support quarterly compilation and trend analysis.
• Support case research, including verification of separation dates against personnel record sources and follow-through on correction requests.
