The AI revolution is a Data evolution and this critical role is at the forefront of making AI a reality for our defense customers. As a DIS, you are more than a technical expert; you are a strategic architectural partner who consolidates expertise across:

• MuleSoft (Integration)
• Tableau (Analytics)
• Data 360 (Unified Data Management)

You will serve as the single point of contact for sales teams, ensuring every data opportunity is handled by a specialist who thinks like an architect and communicates outcomes and impacts in the voice of the business user. You will be a vital contributor to the success of our agency customers by:

• Conducting holistic discovery
• Reframing the "data journey"

• Multi-Platform Technical Depth: Hands-on experience or deep conceptual knowledge of Integration (MuleSoft), Data Analytics (Tableau), and Big Data/CDP (Data Cloud). A qualified candidate will have expertise in no less than 2 of these capabilities; a great candidate will have expertise in all three.
• Strategic Communication: Excellent ability to reframe technical challenges into business value for C-level government executives and technical stakeholders alike.
• AI Readiness: Understanding of the value of "Trusted Context Foundations" for AI, including data grounding, RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation), and metadata intelligence.
