Responsibilities:

The HQ SACT requires support in establishing the Enterprise Architecture function and reporting about on-going and future programs and initiatives delivering the Digital Transformation Implementation Strategy. The HQ SACT is responsible for capturing capability requirements developing capability architectures in support of the different NATO modernization and transformation programs. The support will consist of consolidating architectural data across multiple sources (e.g. specialized architectural tools and repositories, requirements management tools, project and portfolio management tools) to create reports, presentations and interactive web-published dashboards and heat maps illustrating architectural scope, connections, overlaps, gaps, and delivery progress of multiple programs and projects.

Will gather and analyze data related to enterprise architecture and capability architectures, including data on capabilities, processes, data flows, requirements, and program portfolio. You will create architectural dashboards and heat maps, use data to visualize the architecture maturity, architectural links, and gaps between initiatives, requirements fulfilment, status of programs and projects, and identify potential risks and bottlenecks. Utilize data to create architectural roadmaps for capability development, and identify the capabilities to support future initiatives and NATO Digital Transformation. Collaborate with enterprise architects and capability architects to develop and implement data-driven architecture strategies. Work closely with the architects to understand their needs and deliver actionable insights. Integrate data sources relevant for the enterprise architecture (capability architectures, taxonomies, requirements, and program/project information). Develop, construct, test, and maintain data pipelines and data processing tools such as databases, data warehouses and ETLs. Transform data into formats that can be easily analyzed by developing, maintaining, and testing infrastructures for data generation. Configure, integrate, and maintain data integration and analytics tools and shared repositories (e.g. PowerBI, KNIME, SQL Server and other DBMS’, SharePoint). Will improve data quality and efficiency, support evaluation of capability requirements and objectives and their delivery status, and perform additional tasks as required by the COTR related to the labor category.
