Job DescriptionThis is a specialized financial-data position-not a general IT architecture role. The successful candidate will have recent, hands-on experience with the Defense Agencies Initiative (DAI), DoD financial data, feeder-system interfaces, fiscal-code alignment, data crosswalks, and financial enterprise architecture. The individual will help the DoW establish traceability between source-system transactions, DAI, financial reports, dashboards, accounting requirements, and audit evidence.
Required Skills- Support strategic planning, oversight, and implementation of financial data-management and enterprise-architecture initiatives.
- Document how financial information moves from feeder systems through DAI and into general-ledger reports, dashboards, certifications, and audit evidence.
- Reconcile DAI transactions and data populations to supporting feeder systems to identify missing, rejected, duplicated, miscoded, or improperly transformed information.
- Develop and maintain source-to-target mappings, fiscal-code crosswalks, interface mappings, data definitions, business rules, and data-lineage documentation.
- Evaluate proposed fiscal-code, interface, configuration, and system changes to determine their effect on related business processes, financial reports, and downstream systems.
- Support the development and maintenance of authoritative fiscal-code documentation.
- Apply SFIS, USSGL, DoD financial-management, and applicable DON and Marine Corps requirements to financial data and system analyses.
- Identify root causes of data-quality and reconciliation issues involving source systems, interfaces, business rules, transformations, system configurations, or internal controls.
- Establish validation rules and repeatable quality checks for dashboards, financial reports, performance measures, and analytical outputs.
- Develop policies, directives, procedures, governance standards, and implementation guidance supporting consistent financial-data management.
- Represent the organization in fiscal-code, data-governance, financial-system, and enterprise-architecture working groups.
- Advise Marine Corps personnel and external stakeholders on financial-data requirements, architecture decisions, system impacts, and recommended corrective actions.
- Prepare written analyses explaining identified conditions, governing requirements, root causes, financial and system impacts, alternatives, and recommended solutions.
- Coordinate with financial managers, accountants, system owners, data engineers, auditors, and senior Government leaders.
Required Experience- Active Secret security clearance.
- Bachelor's degree in accounting, finance, information systems, data analytics, business, or a closely related field.
- At least seven years of DoW financial-management, financial-systems, financial-data, or enterprise-architecture experience.
- Recent hands-on DAI experience, preferably within the past three years.
- Demonstrated experience reconciling DAI information to feeder-system or source-system data.
- Experience developing financial data crosswalks, source-to-target mappings, data definitions, business rules, or data-lineage documentation.
- Working knowledge of DoW financial data standards and accounting requirements, including SFIS, USSGL, and the DoD Financial Management Regulation.
- Experience evaluating financial-system interfaces, fiscal-code alignments, data transformations, or configuration changes.
- Ability to translate technical data and system issues into clear financial, accounting, operational, and audit impacts.
- Experience preparing formal analyses, recommendations, procedures, policies, or senior-leadership briefings.
- Ability to participate in occasional onsite meetings at the Pentagon or another National Capital Region location.
