Data Steward - Junior

We are seeking a Junior Data Steward to support mission-critical Foundation GEOINT operations by helping ensure geospatial and enterprise data is accurate, organized, and ready for analysis. This is an ideal opportunity for early-career professionals, including those transitioning from military geospatial or intelligence roles, to build hands‑on experience in data management while directly supporting intelligence production and modernization efforts.

Working alongside senior team members, you will help identify and resolve data quality issues, organize and maintain spatial data using tools such as Arc Pro, SQL, Excel, and Access, transfer data between formats and networks, and assist with testing scripts and automating routine data tasks. You will also support updates to the requirements database and help train community members on its use, gaining hands‑on experience across the full data life cycle.
