Clearance : Must be a U.S. Citizen and hold an active DHS Public Trust, preferably Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Overview :

We're seeking a skilled Data Engineer, Database Administrator, or Data Analyst with a strong command of both technical data systems and the nuances of English grammar and composition.

• Design and manage a centralized data catalog that ensures all enterprise data assets are clearly documented, searchable, and aligned with business needs.
• Develop and apply consistent metadata standards that reflect both technical accuracy and strong language clarity.
• Partner with data owners, analysts, and IT stakeholders to integrate metadata practices into core platforms, tools, and workflows.
• Author and refine taxonomies, data definitions, and descriptive content that adhere to grammatical and stylistic conventions to enhance usability.
• Promote user adoption through training, documentation, and support resources tailored to varying levels of data literacy.
• Serve as a champion of data governance by aligning metadata efforts with organizational policies and compliance needs.
• Monitor the quality and completeness of metadata, implementing strategies for improvement where needed.
• Evaluate and recommend tools to support cataloging and metadata initiatives, ensuring they align with the organization's data ecosystem.
