Duties

We encourage you to read the entire announcement prior to submitting your application. This post is for viewing purposes only. Lead and oversee the development of an advanced data science and data analytics use and adoption strategy for the Intelligence Community (IC) by engagement across the IC and ODNI, the Department of Defense (DoD), and with coalition partners. This officer must have demonstrated skills in: highly complex programmatic and quantitative methods with the ability to find patterns and relationships in large data sets; and leading the most complex mathematical, statistical, geospatial modeling, or other data-driven problem-solving analysis to address novel or abstract business operations or intelligence questions. This officer will lead efforts and influence senior professionals in identifying data architecture needs, inform data policies, standards, and guidance, and collaborate with collectors and analysts to determine the data needed to address critical intelligence problems; incorporate insights and findings into an extensive range of authoritative, sophisticated intelligence products; and drive new tradecraft standards for data professionals. Products range from strategic and enterprise-level efforts, to those that provide direct mission support and needed capability to peers and colleagues. Work includes leading senior professionals across the IC and with DoD in the design, modification, and/or use of scientific computing, programming, and mathematics. The incumbent will engage across multiple IC Data Services and related working groups to drive the identification and implementation of end-to-end data management, data interoperability, scaled analytics, data acumen, and the related governance standards and tradecraft. The incumbent will lead, plan, and implement an IC-wide strategy that enables sophisticated, advanced data analysis in support of the most complex national security and foreign policy objectives, and to inform Intelligence Community priorities, to include the following: Direct accurate, timely, and sophisticated data analysis in support of the most complex key Agency, United States national security and foreign policy objectives and to shape Intelligence Community analysis priorities. Conduct complex statistical, mathematical, geospatial modeling, and data mining analysis independently or in partnership with other Data Scientist or Analyst colleagues. Lead exploratory data analysis to enable data integration and mapping, advanced product creation, development of data value metrics, and mapping of use cases. Lead the identification of use cases that derive from strategic National Intelligence directives while transitioning analytics to intelligence products. In collaboration with IC CDO, IC CIO, DAMA, IC AIM, and partners, drive adoption strategies and methods for data science and data analytics programs by identifying key requirements and gaps in the IC data architecture and tradecraft, and by devising strategic methodological issues and areas of focus to support decision making by the most senior policymakers. Drive tradecraft standards for the IC data science and data analyst professional workforce while identifying opportunities to engage the private sector for training and development. Mentor the full range of data scientist to support employee and product development. Guide exploitation of quantitative and computational models, analytic methods and tools, geospatial modeling, and data/or data mining. Lead collaboration across the NIMs, as well as with IC collectors and analysts, to identify and close gaps on the most complex intelligence issues or problems for the most senior internal/external customers. Oversee the conception, preparation, and communication an extensive range of strategic, high complex graphics, computational models/tools, or written/oral assessments on significant or contentious issues for the most senior internal and external customers (e.g., policymakers, IC components and agency executives). Expand approaches and strategies to market statistical and methodological services to new or potential partners or customers. Other duties, as assigned.

Requirements

Qualifications

Mandatory Requirements: Superior ability to establish priorities and plan research and other projects; establish project goals. Expert ability to engage with partners, senior leadership, and line officers to understand and participate in changing needs and requirements; anticipate substantive questions. Offer recommendations for resolution based on quantitative analysis. Manage the compilation and review of often disparate and inconsistent data to address the most complex intelligence issues or problems for the most senior internal/external customers. Expert knowledge of appropriate analytic methods and methodological tools in one or more of the following areas: Applied Mathematics (e.g., probability and statistics, formal modeling, computational social sciences); Computer Programming (e.g., programming languages, math/statistics packages, computer science, machine learning, scientific computing); and Visualization (e.g., GIS/geospatial analysis, telemetry analysis). Expert knowledge of research designs. Superior ability to develop comprehensive computer software applications, as needed. Superior ability to leverage multiple data management tools to organize relevant information and make decisions. Superior ability to effectively communicate complex, multi-disciplinary ideas and insights. Superior analytical and critical thinking skills, including superior ability to think strategically and translate complex, technical findings into an easily understood narrative (i.e., tell story with data). Superior ability to evaluate data drawing pertinent inferences from data trend analysis, and interpretation of such inferences in keeping with the requirements of officials responsible for planning or for making policy decisions. Desired Requirements: Expert knowledge of ODNI business operations and associated processes. Master's degree in quantitative or technical field of study (e.g., statistics, mathematics, computer science, physical science, data science, physics, economics, Geographic Information Systems) with 15 years of related experience preferred. Expert experience leading data science or related data operations issues in an intelligence agency or component, Combatant Command, or other U.S. government agency. Superior knowledge of individual, organizational, and technical or transnational issues of national security concern.
