Data Analyst

Position Title: Salesforce Compliance & Data Governance Analyst

Location: Hybrid (2 days a week Arlington, VA)

Other Considerations: U.S. Citizen or Permanent Resident (Required)

POSITION SUMMARY

We're seeking a self-directed Compliance & Data Governance Analyst to own and build compliance and data governance workstreams supporting a federal client's extensive Salesforce platform. This role blends traditional compliance auditing (access reviews, POAMs, data quality) with data classification strategy, CodeScan administration, and cross-team collaboration in an Agile environment.

This is a hands-on, high-ownership role. You'll independently research, synthesize findings, and present clear recommendations to technical and government stakeholders, not just gather information for someone else to interpret.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Own audit workstreams end-to-end: user provisioning (AC-2) reviews, POAM tracking, batch job audits, and bi-yearly data quality audits
• Design and stand-up new audit workstreams from the ground up, establishing repeatable, ongoing audit processes.
• Drive data classification initiatives; able to map Salesforce fields to VA standards (CUI, FIPS-199, PTA/PIA) and identify governance gaps
• Configure CodeScan reports and support auditing of new rule enforcement as the platform evolves
• Participate actively in Agile ceremonies (PI/sprint planning, backlog refinement)
• Proficient at writing clear, well-structured Agile Stories tracked in Jira
• Use AI tools (e.g., Claude) to accelerate research and documentation, and critically evaluate that output before acting on it
• Present findings, business value, and recommendations directly to leadership and government stakeholders

QUALIFICATIONS

• Public Trust clearance is required; employment is contingent upon a successful background investigation
• Bachelor’s degree in business, information systems, or related field
• 5+ years in compliance auditing, IT governance, or data governance, ideally in a federal/government IT environment
• Basic understanding of Salesforce as an Application Development platform. Ideally with hands-on experience as a Salesforce Admin with some declarative capabilities. Certification or active Trailhead progress a plus but not required.
• Familiarity with NIST AC-2, FIPS-199, POAM processes, and VA compliance frameworks (PTA/PIA) or similar industry-specific concepts
• Working knowledge of code scanning (CodeScan), web security scanning (ZAP), and related DevSecOps toolsRequired hard skills, tools, frameworks, technologies, etc. with years of experience
• Experience working in Agile/Scrum environments, with strong Jira hygiene for work planning and execution and daily time tracking for capacity planning
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to defend findings and business value to senior stakeholders independently
• Ability to design and run small projects (in the form of Epics) given access to SMEs and with the support of a BA and Scrum Master
• Comfort using AI tools to support analysis and documentation, with strong underlying critical thinking, you drive the conclusion, not just the research
• Proficiency with Confluence, SharePoint, and Microsoft Office (or similar)
