• Lead the design and implementation of new spatial capabilities and analytics, translating business and program requirements into spatial models, schemas, workflows, and integration specifications for workforce forecasting, facility oversight, accessibility modeling, and public dashboards.
• Lead root-cause analysis and resolution of GIS production issues, and oversee onboarding/retirement of spatial data sources and services.
• Serve as the department's recognized GIS subject-matter expert; train, mentor, and cross-train team members and data stewards, and deliver knowledge-transfer sessions supporting succession planning.
• Advise management and help formulate GIS strategy, standards, and policy, including cost-benefit/ROI analysis for new spatial capabilities and enhancements.
• Develop and maintain comprehensive documentation, including architecture diagrams, data models, process flows, runbooks, and operational procedures.
