About The Position

In this role, you will support a federal client operating at the enterprise level to shape practical integration approaches, information flows, and solution patterns that enable reliable analytics, reporting, and emerging advanced data use cases. You will focus on mission-oriented approaches to guide solutions rather than writing production code, helping teams design approaches that are feasible, scalable, and aligned with enterprise and mission constraints. You will play a key role in unsticking complex, cross-team challenges. In many cases, the technical solution exists, but progress stalls due to unclear ownership, competing priorities, or difficulty translating tradeoffs. In this role, you will use your client mission knowledge to help move work forward by framing options, clarifying implications, and facilitating alignment across technical and non-technical stakeholders. You will partner closely with product, data governance, architecture, and delivery leads to ensure decisions support Master Data Management, data quality, and long-term sustainability. You will provide early insight into feasibility, sequencing, and risk, enabling better planning and reducing rework. This is a senior, solutions-oriented role that influences outcomes through technical credibility, mission knowledge, communication, and collaboration rather than direct ownership of delivery teams.
