- Develop interactive business intelligence dashboards, executive visualizations, and reporting tools using Power BI, Tableau, and custom analytics software.
- Perform complex data extraction, cleaning, transformation, and validation across massive, disparate Army logistics and enterprise data sources.
- Apply statistical techniques, regression analysis, machine learning algorithms, and operations research methodologies to solve complex supply chain challenges.
- Analyze supply chain cycle times, data processing bottlenecks, error rates, and system compliance IAW contract AQL standards (<3% error rate, >95% turnaround).
- Collaborate with Senior Logistics Analysts to translate operational supply chain queries into mathematical models and data science solutions.
- Evaluate supply chain risk factors, readiness impacts, and mitigation strategies using predictive data simulation.
- Automate recurring data extraction, reporting processes, and performance metric tracking to enhance analytical efficiency.
- Develop technical documentation, statistical reports, trend analysis products (CDRL A009), and briefing decks for military and civilian executives.
- Provide technical direction, code review, mentorship, and guidance to junior program/data analysts.
- Ensure data handling complies with DoD cybersecurity directives, CUI protocols, AR 25-2, and Army information assurance standards.
