Our consultants on the Defense & Security AI & Data team support the U.S. Department of State in using data as a strategic asset to advance American diplomacy, strengthen global operations, and improve mission and management decisions. This high-performing team partners with Department bureaus, offices, and overseas missions to deliver the full spectrum of data analytics and data science—from data querying, wrangling, integration, and engineering to data visualization, dashboarding, business intelligence (BI), predictive analytics, machine learning (ML), artificial intelligence (AI), and intelligent automation. Our services help modernize the Department’s data environment, improve data quality and interoperability, enable responsible governance and secure information sharing, reduce operational complexity, and provide timely, trusted insights to foreign affairs professionals and senior leaders.

Responsibilities:

  • Serve on a collaborative team delivering AI, advanced analytics, data engineering, business intelligence, and intelligent automation solutions for the U.S. Department of State.
  • Partner with Department bureaus, offices, data owners, mission stakeholders, and technical teams to translate diplomatic, consular, security, and management needs into scalable data products and analytic capabilities.
  • Design, build, test, document, and maintain secure data pipelines, data models, curated datasets, dashboards, and analytic solutions using approved Department platforms and environments.
  • Integrate and transform structured and unstructured data from multiple systems while improving data quality, lineage, interoperability, metadata, and availability for authorized users.
  • Develop Power BI dashboards and decision-support products that communicate mission and operational performance clearly to working-level personnel, program managers, and senior leaders.
  • Support mission-driven data management and governance by applying appropriate access controls, records-management practices, privacy protections, information-quality standards, and security requirements.
  • Facilitate requirements sessions, demonstrations, user-acceptance testing, training, and briefings with diverse functional and technical stakeholders across domestic bureaus and overseas missions.
  • Contribute to client delivery, business development, internal firm initiatives, and continued professional development in data engineering, analytics, data science, and federal consulting.

What You Will Need:

  • An active and maintained SECRET Federal security clearance.
  • Bachelor’s degree.
  • Minimum three (3) years of relevant professional experience, or two (2) years of relevant professional experience with a master’s degree.
  • Minimum two (2) years of hands-on SQL experience, including complex queries, data transformation, validation, and performance optimization.
  • Demonstrated expertise developing Power BI semantic models, dashboards, reports, measures, and data visualizations for mission, program, or operational decision-making.
  • Ability to define technical and functional data requirements and ensure the availability, integrity, coherence, traceability, and appropriate protection of electronically stored information.
  • Experience analyzing large and complex datasets to identify trends, establish key performance or risk indicators, and produce actionable findings for strategic and operational decisions.
  • Experience applying data-quality controls, documentation, metadata, lineage, testing, and quality-assurance practices throughout the data lifecycle.
  • Ability to work with sensitive government information in accordance with need-to-know, role-based access, records-management, privacy, and information-security requirements.
  • Ability to communicate technical findings clearly to nontechnical stakeholders and collaborate with program, policy, operations, security, and technology personnel.
  • Ability to support on-site and hybrid work for U.S. Department of State stakeholders in the Washington, DC, metropolitan area.

What Would Be Nice To Have:

  • Prior experience supporting the U.S. Department of State, a foreign affairs agency, or another national security or civilian federal client.
  • Experience supporting enterprise data governance, data cataloging, metadata management, master or reference data, data stewardship, or data-sharing initiatives across multiple organizations.
  • Experience designing and maintaining data pipelines and data models that ingest, clean, aggregate, organize, and publish data from multiple sources to data warehouses, data lakes, or other analytic repositories.
  • Experience with Microsoft Azure data services, Microsoft Fabric, Databricks, or comparable approved federal cloud and analytics platforms.
  • Quality-control experience, including debugging, peer review, user-acceptance testing, and quality assurance for new features, data products, and enhancements.
  • Experience facilitating workshops and presenting technical topics to diverse groups of functional staff, technical teams, executives, and geographically dispersed stakeholders.
  • Experience redesigning business and data processes to meet evolving diplomatic, policy, program, compliance, or operational requirements.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills, including the ability to create concise technical documentation, executive-ready briefings, and user guidance.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
