  • Strategic Leadership: Develop and implement enterprise-wide governance charters, frameworks, and operating models that align with federal mandates and client mission objectives.
  • Stakeholder Alignment: Drive consensus among cross-functional federal executives, data owners, and technical stakeholders to overcome resistance and ensure active board participation.
  • Program Oversight: Direct the information governance program's overall strategy and operations, overseeing coordination, data stewardship, and operational analysis.
  • Policy Development: Lead the creation of governance operating materials, including SOPs, business cases, strategic guidance, and high-level decision-support documentation.
  • Executive Reporting: Prepare and deliver concise, executive-level briefings to federal leadership on program maturity, critical risks, strategic recommendations, and board outcomes.
  • Continuous Improvement: Perform current-state and future-state assessments of enterprise operations and implement strategic improvements that elevate overall governance maturity.
Required Skills and Qualifications: Successful candidates should demonstrate high professionalism, a commitment to quality, and strong initiative and leadership while meeting the following qualifications and requirements.

U.S. Equal Opportunity Employment Information (Completion is voluntary)

We are an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability status, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.

You are being given the opportunity to provide the following information in order to help us comply with federal and state Equal Employment Opportunity/Affirmative Action record keeping, reporting, and other legal requirements.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
