This position supports the following program: U.S. Department of Transportation(DOT), Office of the Secretary (OST), Working Capital Fund (WCF), Officeof Financial Management (OFM) — WCF IT Financial Management, Cost Model Development, and Systems Integration Support.

Own the customer-facing proof: acertified drill-down billing view where each of 11 Operating Administration scan see its actual bill, the outputs billed, the rates charged, the calculations behind them, and the inputs those calculations used — five layers,one click at a time. The governing discipline: the reporting layer exposes controlled data; it never becomes a second source of truth. The client environment is Google-based — Google Workspace (Sheets, Drive, Chat, App Sheet,Apps Script) and Google Cloud analytics (Big Query, Dataform, Looker), alongside

Delphi, Service Now, and PRISM. Candidates with Microsoft-stack depth (Power BI,Power Automate, Power Query, SQL Server) and the aptitude to transfer arestrong fits; direct Google-stack experience is a significant plus.

• Design and build the OA drill-down billing viewsin Looker (LookML semantic models) and Looker Studio: bill → outputs → rates →calculations → inputs, with the reconciliation to Delphi one click beneath.
• Build against certified datasets only; implement view-equals-bill reconciliation checks so publication is blocked until the customer view ties to the issued bill and the bill ties to Delphi.
• Implement OA data segregation in the semantic layer (Looker access filters and user attributes) aligned to the data-layerrow-level policies; test roles before every release.
• Enforce display discipline: estimates, accruals,proxies, true-ups, and pending corrections labeled and visually distinct from posted actuals; prior-period corrections linked, never blended; refresh dateand period-covered shown on every page.
• Deliver Section 508-conform ant reports and viewsas a release-readiness requirement, not an afterthought.
• Build the operational metrics views: dispute and exception aging, unexplained adjustments, cycle time, and bill-line traceability against DOT-set baselines.
• Document the semantic model and view logic so Government personnel can maintain and extend the reporting layer.

• Security Clearance:
  Public Trust or the abilityto obtain one.
• Candidates whose experience is limited to advisory, strategic, or conceptual consulting will not meet this program's bar.
  
  The client explicitly requires demonstrated, hands-on implementation experience— deployed cost models, executed billing cycles, delivered automations, and operational financial products.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science,Information Systems, Data Analytics, or a related field, or equivalent additional experience.
• 4+ years of BI development with semantic-layer modeling (LookML, Power BI datasets/DAX, or equivalent) and strong SQL.
• Demonstrated delivery of stakeholder-facing financial dashboards with drill-through from summary to transaction-level support.
• Experience implementing report-layer security for multi-tenant or multi-customer audiences.
• Design judgment for executive and analyst audiences — clarity at the summary, completeness at the detail, honesty in the labeling.
