• Respond to data calls and support recurring reporting requirements by preparing accurate, timely, and well-documented responses for program leadership and Government stakeholders.
• Perform quality reviews to identify inconsistent, incomplete, outdated, duplicate, or conflicting data and coordinate with data owners to resolve discrepancies.
• Recommend improvements to data management, reporting workflows, automation, dashboards, and analytic products to reduce manual effort and improve leadership visibility.

• Strong analytical, problem-solving, data validation, and data reconciliation skills.
• Proficiency with Tableau, Python, SQL, as well as Microsoft Excel, SharePoint, Teams, PowerPoint, and common collaboration or task-tracking tools.

• Ability to turn incomplete, inconsistent, or fragmented information into reliable analytic outputs and decision-support products.
• Ability to manage multiple reporting cycles, data calls, dashboards, and stakeholder requests under tight deadlines.
• Ability to work across technical, program, cybersecurity, architecture, acquisition, finance, and mission teams while protecting sensitive information.
