This position will play a role in operating and maintaining the Agency’s Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW) contract and providing subject matter expertise on Agency and health care data.

This position is responsible for serving as the primary point of contact for security and training compliance for the EDW contract. 

This responsibility includes the following tasks: serving as the Agency liaison for EDW security and training requests; coordinating with vendor, technical and business staff to capture and clarify business requirements; monitoring vendor performance for timeliness, accuracy and completeness; analyzing security and training processes to match evolving Agency business needs, technical innovations and industry best practices; participating in and providing subject matter expertise to Agency technical and change control boards on security and training matters; and coordinating DWA participation and responsiveness to internal and external audits.
