• Plan and govern integrations with USPS and external law-enforcement partner systems via secure, standards-based APIs and data exchange.
• Establish data governance practices aligned to USPS Chief Data & Analytics Office; ensure data dictionary, authoritative sources, auditability, and analytics/reporting quality.
• Lead performance, scalability, and reliability testing; manage test results and acceptance criteria.
• Produce program documentation: architecture artifacts, integration designs, deployment runbooks, training materials, and operational readiness plans.
• Manage vendor performance and deliverables; define acceptance criteria and oversee contract compliance and monthly progress reporting.
