This is a hands-on delivery role. The contractor is expected to personally design, configure, develop, test, document, and improve working data and analytical solutions in direct collaboration with operational users. The requirement is not primarily for strategic advisory, enterprise architecture, programme management, or supervision of development performed by others. The objective is to transform fragmented programme information and manual data operations into structured, trusted, reusable information that improves programme and portfolio decision making and delivery. Taskings: • Support the Enabling Capabilities Portfolio, with an initial emphasis on Infrastructure Programmes, through hands-on data integration, data engineering, analytics, and decisionsupport activities. • Work directly with programme managers, portfolio staff, analysts, data owners, and other stakeholders to understand priority decisions, information requirements, existing data sources, data gaps, and opportunities to improve programme delivery through better use of data. • Design, develop, test, and maintain repeatable data integration processes that ingest, transform, reconcile, and prepare information from multiple programme and enterprise sources for operational use and analysis • Develop and maintain structured data models, common definitions, business rules, reference data, and data-quality controls required to produce trusted programme and portfolio-level information. • Design, prototype, configure, and improve digital data-collection applications and workflows that replace or materially reduce spreadsheet-intensive, manually consolidated, emaildriven, or otherwise fragmented data operations. • Support the continued development, maturation, and operational use of digital Management and Oversight Review (MOR) data collection and decision-support solutions for Infrastructure Programmes and other Enabling Capabilities Portfolio requirements. • Develop dashboards, metrics, visualizations, analytical products, and other decision-support solutions that improve visibility of programme status, delivery performance, schedule, resources, risks, dependencies, and emerging issues. • Apply descriptive and diagnostic analytical techniques, and predictive or prescriptive techniques when directed and appropriate to the decision requirement, to identify trends, relationships, anomalies, risks, and opportunities relevant to programme or portfolio management. • Integrate programme and portfolio information with authoritative NATO or enterprise data sources through approved mechanisms including relational databases, APIs, data services, structured file exchange, or other available interfaces. • Identify data-quality, ownership, lineage, governance, stewardship, and authoritative-source issues affecting delivered solutions and implement or recommend practical remediation measures in coordination with responsible stakeholders. • Use appropriate development and engineering practices, including source or configuration control, documented transformations and business rules, reproducible processing, configuration management, and sepa
