Senior Data & Process Architecture SME

Overview

The Senior Data & Process Architecture SME will serve as a lead architect and subject matter expert supporting a U.S. Government client in the assessment, re-design, and enablement of a complex, mission-critical business process. This role focuses on evaluating and selecting an integrated software ecosystem spanning data analytics, data engineering/management, data access and permissions, and large-scale business process management (BPM) workflows.

The individual will work with senior stakeholders to assess existing tools (e.g., Oracle) and evaluate new platform options, defining a target-state architecture and actionable implementation roadmap. This role requires strong technical breadth, architectural judgment, and the ability to translate business and mission needs into software and platform decisions in a regulated government environment.

Note: The following responsibilities are organized by area.

Assessment & Architecture

• Support assessment of current-state business processes, data flows, analytics capabilities, and supporting software platforms
• Evaluate strengths, gaps, and redundancies across existing tools (e.g., analytics platforms, BPM tools, financial systems, data platforms)
• Define target-state architecture options spanning data ingestion, storage, analytics, permissions, workflow orchestration, and reporting
• Develop platform comparison criteria and conduct structured evaluations of candidate solutions (COTS and PaaS)

Software & Platform Selection

• Assess tools such as Databricks, Oracle, Foundry, Appian, One Stream, and alternative platforms for fit against mission, scale, and governance needs
• Evaluate integration touchpoints between analytics platforms, workflow/BPM tools, and authoritative data sources
• Identify data governance, access control, and security implications of candidate architectures
• Support cost, licensing, and deployment model analysis (on-prem, cloud, hybrid, FedRAMP considerations)

Communication & Documentation

• Prepare clear, executive-ready deliverables including architecture diagrams, trade studies, decision memos, and implementation roadmaps
• Brief and defend recommendations with senior client stakeholders in both formal and informal settings
• Document assumptions, constraints, risks, and dependencies associated with recommended solutions

• Minimum 6 years experience spanning data architecture, analytics platforms, enterprise systems, or business process enablement
• Demonstrated experience working across multiple phases of the data lifecycle, including ingestion, transformation, analytics, and consumption
• Experience evaluating or architecting solutions involving data platforms, workflow/BPM tools, and enterprise applications
• Working knowledge of modern analytics platforms (e.g., Databricks or equivalent) and BPM/workflow systems (e.g., Appian or similar)
• Strong understanding of data governance, access controls, and permissions in enterprise or government environments
• Ability to communicate complex technical concepts clearly to non-technical and senior stakeholders
• Proven ability to operate independently and deliver high-quality work products with minimal supervision

• Prior experience supporting U.S. Government clients in a consulting or program environment
• Experience conducting software/platform trade studies or technology selection assessments
• Familiarity with FedRAMP, IL levels, or government cloud deployment considerations
• Experience integrating analytics platforms with BPM/workflow tools
• Background in financial systems, planning platforms, or enterprise performance management tools (e.g., One Stream or similar)
• Experience working in environments with complex data access and role-based permissions
• Relevant certifications (e.g., cloud architecture, data architecture, enterprise architecture), preferred but not required
