Job Description

Responsibilities

Peraton's Department of the Interior (DOI), U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), and NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) have identified a critical gap in the federal government's ability to conduct comprehensive Endangered Species Act (ESA) research. While FWS operates an authoritative web-based platform for managing data for terrestrial and freshwater species, it does not currently include NMFS marine and anadromous species data forcing agencies to rely on separate, manual processes. This program closes that gap by integrating marine and anadromous species data into the existing FWS platform, creating a single, unified experience for all ESA-listed species.

Peraton is seeking a Business Analyst with deep expertise in NOAA Fisheries (the National Marine Fisheries Service, the federal agency within NOAA responsible for managing and conserving U.S. marine resources) data systems and consultation processes to serve as the dedicated NOAA Fisheries liaison on a federal data integration program. You will ensure NOAA Fisheries requirements are accurately captured, data systems are properly documented, and all required approvals are obtained throughout the project.

Work Location: Remote

Roles and Responsibilities

  • Serve as the dedicated SME for NOAA Fisheries business processes, data systems, and stakeholder coordination
  • Document NOAA Fisheries-specific consultation requirements including marine and anadromous species regulatory requirements, Critical Habitat designations, and listing status standards
  • Elicit and document NOAA Fisheries data system requirements including authoritative source identification, data access pathways, refresh cadences, and data stewardship contacts
  • Coordinate with NOAA Fisheries SMEs to obtain approval on schema harmonization decisions and ensure all data modifications are authorized
  • Facilitate iterative range map review cycles with NOAA Fisheries SMEs and coordinate input on map accuracy and completeness
  • Support development of NOAA Fisheries-specific decision logic and template content requirements
  • Coordinate NOAA Fisheries co-signature on the ESA Section 7 Compliance Validation Checklist
  • Facilitate NOAA Fisheries partner office participation in pilot consultation workflows
  • Serve as the primary liaison between the Peraton team and NOAA Fisheries
