9. Develop and oversee data compilation, analysis, and reporting, including collecting and interpreting data, analyzing results, identifying patterns and trends, and presenting results in useful formats for multiple levels of the Agency.
10. Use appropriate scripting, programming, database, API, or automation tools to reduce manual work, improve reporting reliability, and support repeatable data processes.
11. Collaborate with internal teams and external partners to clarify business needs, define requirements, and implement improved data collection, reporting, and integration processes.
12. Collaborate with Quality Assurance to validate and maintain Agency compliance through accurate, timely, and auditable reporting for regulatory bodies and internal oversight.
