Data Modeler

Data plays an increasingly important role in the work of a national security service. Behind every analysis, report, and decision lies a solid data structure. As a Data Modeler, you ensure that this structure is correct. You bring order to complex information flows and ensure that data remains reliable, traceable, and usable for the organization. In this way, you make a direct contribution to the information position of the service. Within this organization, data directly influences real-world operations.

Decisions about deployment, information position, and cooperation within the security chain depend on reliable data. Your work as a Data Modeler goes beyond mere technology. The data models you develop and improve form the basis for analyses, reports, and information exchange within the organization and with partners. In an environment where legislation, security, and operational interests converge, this requires accuracy, insight, and responsibility.

This is precisely what makes this role special: your work ensures that colleagues can rely on the information they use daily.

What you will do. As a Data Modeler, you will work on the foundations of information provision within an environment where reliability and security are essential.

• Designing and maintaining conceptual, logical, and physical data models that align with the organization's information needs
• Translating data issues from operational teams into clear and workable data structures
• Improving existing data models to enhance performance, scalability
• Ensuring that data models comply with applicable guidelines, security requirements, and legislation such as current privacy legislation
• Documenting data models, definitions, and processes to safeguard knowledge and structure within the organization
• Coordinating with other departments within the government organization to ensure proper alignment of data exchange and standards
