Position Summary
The Data and Reporting Manager owns the program's reporting and analytics function end to end. This role is accountable for every data point the program reports, for the architecture that produces it, and for the accuracy of what reaches the client and executive leadership. The successful candidate leads the migration of program reporting into a consolidated dashboard environment, establishes data governance and a single source of truth, and turns program data into decision ready analysis rather than status recitation.
This is a management role with functional leadership over reporting and document control staff, and it carries direct working relationships with document control, quality management, technical delivery, and client leadership.
Key Responsibilities
Reporting Architecture and Dashboard Delivery
- Own the design, build, migration, and ongoing operation of the program dashboard environment, including the conversion of existing reporting into the consolidated platform.
- Define the reporting data model, refresh cadence, role based access design, and version control approach.
- Establish and maintain a single source of truth for program data, and eliminate parallel or conflicting reporting streams.
- Build executive, program, and site level reporting views appropriate to each audience.
Data Governance and Integrity
- Define and enforce data standards, naming conventions, validation rules, and reconciliation procedures across all program data sources.
- Own the accuracy of reported figures, including cost, schedule, deliverable status, risk, change, and quality metrics.
- Establish audit ready traceability from every reported figure back to its source record.
- Identify and resolve discrepancies before distribution, and maintain a documented record of corrections.
Analysis and Decision Support
- Move the function beyond status reporting into trend analysis, variance analysis, forecasting, and early warning indicators.
- Produce executive summaries that state what the data means and what decision it calls for, not only what the data says.
- Support the Director and program leadership with ad hoc analysis on short turnaround.
- Develop and maintain the program metrics framework, including definitions, thresholds, and escalation triggers.
Deliverables Register and Document Control Interface
- Own the integrity of the Master Deliverables Register as a reporting source, including status accuracy, aging, and late deliverable identification.
- Partner with Document Control to ensure that deliverable workflow data supports reliable reporting under the program Deliverables Quality Control SOP.
- Report on deliverable throughput, cycle time, review turnaround compliance, and rework rates.
Team Leadership
- Provide direction, prioritization, and quality review for reporting analysts and document control staff supporting the reporting function.
- Establish standard work, recurring reporting calendars, and quality checks so that output does not depend on any single individual.
- Develop team capability in analytics tooling and in the program's data environment.
