The ideal candidate will possess strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills, with a keen attention to detail. This role involves developing and implementing a Data Governance and Data Strategy (DGDS) framework, which includes processes, procedures, policies, communications, training, and metrics to effectively manage SSA's data assets. The SME will be responsible for creating metrics, key performance indicators (KPIs), assessments, data visualizations, and reports that demonstrate progress and impacts on data quality, as well as compliance with federal objectives such as those set by the Federal Data Strategy (FDS) and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). In addition, the SME will develop workflows for data governance processes, including change management, issue tracking, and submission and approval workflows, while also connecting downstream systems. A critical aspect of this role is to influence and govern the data lifecycle, enhancing data quality and completeness from the point of data capture and acquisition through to its use. The SME will assist in the development and execution of the Data Governance Program (DGP), including the operating model, role and license management, conceptual models, and data architecture. Furthermore, the SME will support data collection and analytics, aligning the DGDS with the Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW), and will be involved in the management of Chief Data Officer (CDO) governing bodies. Building strong relationships with clients and stakeholders is essential to assess their needs and ensure the delivery of quality products and services.
