Job description

Set the rules for how a federal agency handles its data — who may use it, how its quality is checked, and where each number came from — so the agency can stand behind everything it reports.

What we look for:

• CDMP or DGSP certification
• Microsoft Purview or equivalent
• Federal data strategy familiarity (e.g., DoD VAULTIS)
• Federated / domain-oriented governance

These roles support federal programs and require U.S. citizenship and the ability to obtain a Secret clearance (Tier 3 background investigation); an active clearance is preferred. Many roles are on-site in the Washington, DC metro or other program locations. We are proud to be a veteran-friendly employer and prioritize qualified veteran candidates — the certification and experience bar always governs.

Most federal roles are staffed contingent on contract award. A signed commitment letter names you to a specific opportunity — it binds neither of us to employment unless we win. We name only candidates who are genuinely committed, because named key personnel cannot be substituted without the Government's approval.
