About the Job

Requirements

  • Active Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information security clearance.
  • A bachelor's degree or an equivalent combination of education, professional training, and directly relevant experience in data science, analytics, computer science, information systems, engineering, cybersecurity, mathematics, operations research, or a related discipline.
  • At least 12 years of progressively responsible experience in data analytics, data engineering or architecture, artificial intelligence or machine learning, automation, enterprise information technology, cybersecurity analytics, digital modernization, or a closely related field.
  • Demonstrated experience leading multidisciplinary technical teams and coordinating enterprise initiatives across multiple organizations or mission areas in a complex Federal, Department of War/Department of Defense, Department of the Air Force, or comparably regulated environment.
  • Demonstrated ability to take Data or AI initiatives from use-case definition and data-readiness assessment through design, pilot, evaluation, implementation, governance, and performance monitoring.
  • Working knowledge of responsible-AI, data governance, cybersecurity, privacy, records management, cloud, and Zero Trust principles sufficient to integrate specialist inputs and advise senior leaders.
  • Experience developing or overseeing executive dashboards, analytical models, automated workflows, data pipelines, technical assessments, strategies, roadmaps, governance artifacts, and decision-quality briefings.
  • Ability to work in a hybrid National Capital Region environment, report to the Pentagon or other Government facilities within required response times, and perform independently without routine Government or Contract Program Manager assistance.

Responsibilities

  • Lead and integrate contractor Data and AI execution across SAF/CNZ, SAF/CNB, SAF/CNS, and program-management activities, coordinating priorities with the applicable division leads and the Contractor Program Manager.
  • Serve as the principal contractor interface for cross-cutting Data and AI matters and coordinate with SAF/CND, SAF/CTO, system owners, Authorizing Officials, portfolio managers, infrastructure teams, and other stakeholders to align with enterprise standards and avoid duplicative or conflicting solutions.
  • Establish and maintain an integrated Data and AI roadmap, use-case inventory, prioritization process, dependency map, and delivery backlog that connect initiatives to mission outcomes, performance requirements, authoritative data sources, and accountable owners.
  • Lead cross-functional teams of data analysts, data engineers, data architects, cybersecurity specialists, cloud architects, automation developers, and mission subject matter experts; set priorities, resolve dependencies, review quality, and elevate delivery, security, data, or adoption risks.
  • Brief senior Department of the Air Force leaders on Data and AI opportunities, portfolio status, measurable benefits, resource implications, risk, adoption barriers, and recommended decisions.
  • Design and oversee analytics products that integrate authoritative cybersecurity, compliance, portfolio, architecture, asset, financial, operational, and infrastructure data to provide timely, decision-quality insight.
  • Establish repeatable practices for data discovery, profiling, validation, cleansing, reconciliation, metadata management, lineage, quality measurement, access-control mapping, and authoritative-source designation.
  • Guide development of reusable data models, taxonomies, data dictionaries, data pipelines, application programming interfaces, dashboards, scorecards, and automated workflows using Government-approved platforms.
  • Apply advanced analytics to identify trends, anomalies, systemic control failures, aging actions, cost and capacity drivers, modernization candidates, and mission-risk priorities, with qualified human validation before Government use.
  • Translate analytic findings into clear executive briefings, decision papers, implementation recommendations, and measurable performance indicators.
  • Identify and assess artificial intelligence and machine-learning opportunities across cyber compliance and auditing, eMASS and workflow automation, policy comparison, business-process optimization, portfolio and investment analysis, forecasting, architecture metadata quality, asset and license management, and enterprise information technology modernization.
  • Develop business cases and implementation recommendations addressing mission value, data readiness, security, privacy, records management, technical maturity, interoperability, scalability, cost, workforce impact, and acquisition or licensing implications.
  • Lead approved pilots and implementations through data preparation, model or service selection, evaluation-criteria definition, testing, human-in-the-loop control design, deployment planning, user adoption, and post-deployment monitoring.
  • Establish and maintain model inventories, registrations, model cards, provenance records, evaluation and bias-assessment results, human-oversight controls, and monitoring for accuracy degradation and model drift.
  • Ensure all AI-assisted output is reviewed by qualified personnel and that Government data is used only with approved services, models, environments, classifications, and handling controls.
  • Integrate security and authorization considerations from inception, including AI/ML system architecture and data-flow analysis, authorization boundaries, control allocation, inherited controls, evidence requirements, and residual-risk documentation.
  • Address training and inference data integrity, provenance, model versioning, adversarial inputs, prompt injection, output validation, endpoint access, secrets management, supply-chain risk, and post-deployment monitoring.
  • Apply data-level protection through classification-aware tagging and handling, encryption, least privilege, attribute-based access control, privacy safeguards, records-management controls, and Zero Trust principles.
  • Assess reuse of existing Government-licensed analytics, automation, cloud, and AI platforms before recommending new acquisition, and avoid unnecessary vendor lock-in or proprietary dependencies.
  • Own the technical quality, integration, security, and timely delivery of cross-program Data and AI products and maintain a Government-visible roadmap, use-case inventory, dependency register, and benefits tracker.
  • Ensure every recommended or implemented AI use case includes documented mission value, authoritative data sources, data-readiness and risk assessment, responsible-AI controls, human-review requirements, evaluation criteria, and an accountable Government decision owner.
  • Maintain at least 95% accuracy and timeliness for analytics, dashboards, automation products, and decision support, correcting identified quality issues promptly and documenting material data limitations.
  • Prevent the introduction of Government data into unapproved AI services or tools and ensure analytics and AI artifacts remain auditable, transferable, and supportable without dependence on undocumented contractor knowledge.
  • Quantify benefits from approved analytics, automation, and AI initiatives, including hours eliminated, cycle-time reduction, rework avoided, data-quality improvement, cost savings or avoidance, and mission-risk reduction.
  • Provide the Program Manager and division leads with accurate status, risks, decisions, and upcoming milestones for program reporting and senior-leader review.

Desired Qualifications

  • A graduate degree in data science, analytics, artificial intelligence, computer science, engineering, cybersecurity, information systems, operations research, or a related discipline.
  • Prior experience supporting SAF/CN, Headquarters Air Force, a Service Chief Data and Artificial Intelligence Officer, Department of War/Department of Defense Chief Information Officer, or an equivalent enterprise Data and AI governance organization.
  • Project Management Professional, Certified Data Management Professional, AWS or Azure data/cloud certification, security certification, or a recognized AI/ML credential.
  • Experience with NIST AI Risk Management Framework, AI system authorization, model risk management, MLOps, data catalogs, business-intelligence platforms, robotic process automation, and Government-approved generative-AI environments.
  • Demonstrated experience producing measurable cycle-time, rework, cost, data-quality, risk-reduction, or decision-speed improvements through analytics, automation, or AI.
