GovCon Compliance, Controls & Reporting * Ensure Costpoint configuration and architecture support DCAA, FAR, and CAS compliance requirements, as well as internal controls, audit readiness, and regulatory obligations. * Support Finance leadership and PE stakeholders by enabling robust reporting, analytics, and KPI visibility from Costpoint and related platforms. * Design and support Cognos reporting architecture, dashboards, and data flows tied to Costpoint and adjacent financial data sources. * Develop and maintain technical and functional documentation, including architecture diagrams, configuration standards, integration specifications, and data models. Vendor Management, Governance & Technical Leadership * Lead or support vendor management with Deltek and key implementation partners, including SOW development, technical reviews, and solution validation.
