  2. Integrate AI governance frameworks into federal data environments in alignment with DoD Responsible AI policy 
  3. Brief senior government officials on compliance posture, risk mitigation strategies, and audit readiness 
  4. Serve as the escalation point for architectural risk decisions and cross-team technical disputes 

Qualifications and Skills: 


  1. 12 or more years of experience in enterprise data architecture within DoD or federal civilian agencies 
  2. Demonstrated experience supporting RMF accreditation and ATO processes 
  3. Deep familiarity with NIST 800-series controls and DoD cybersecurity policies 
  4. Experience designing secure IL4/IL5 cloud architectures (AWS GovCloud, Azure Government, or equivalent) 
  5. Proven implementation of zero-trust architecture and ICAM integration 
  6. Experience establishing enterprise data governance frameworks 
  7. Experience supporting federal records compliance and automated retention controls 
  8. Strong documentation and technical writing capabilities for compliance artifacts 
  9. Executive-level communication skills; experience briefing senior government officials
