Work Location: Ft. Lee, VA

Clearance Requirement: Secret

Responsibilities:

• Provide a repeatable systematic process for reviewing electronic information systems, services, and platforms for records management compliance across the full system lifecycle.

• System Reviews can include both enterprise systems and lower-visibility solutions, including citizen-developed tools, low-code applications, shared platforms, cloud services, repositories, workflow tools, and locally managed business solutions.

• System Reviews should include clear schedule mapping, retention controls, official-record-copy determination, metadata requirements, hold capability, migration planning, and end-of-life disposition planning.

• Review systems in accordance with primary governing references for electronic records management, including DoDM 8180.01 and the NARA Universal Electronic Records Management Requirements, together with other applicable Federal and agency authorities and procedures.

• Review new systems and acquisitions before deployment or operational acceptance when feasible.

• Conduct recurring reviews of existing systems to confirm continued compliance with records management expectations.

• Review migrations, major changes, consolidations, cloud moves, and restructures to ensure records, metadata, retention, and disposition controls are preserved.

• Review retirement and decommissioning actions to ensure records are retained, migrated, transferred, or dispositioned under approved authority and that unscheduled records are not destroyed.

• Document whether records are uploaded to the system, created and stored in the system, or created and stored externally to the system.

• Document related systems used for official record storage, duplicate copies, attachments, logs, exports, backups, or downstream storage.

• Coordinate with the ARO, IT, acquisition, data governance, privacy, security, and system owners to gather evidence and validate controls.

• Use the agency appraisal matrix, records retention schedules, and related review artifacts to document findings, corrective actions, and status.

• Track remediation items through closure and elevate significant unresolved issues through established governance channels.

• Review, evaluate and report to the ARO whether systems identify the official record copy, capture required metadata, apply retention and disposition controls, support legal holds, prevent unauthorized deletion or alteration, and preserve records through migration and end-of-life actions.

• Serve as a central coordination point with the Agency Records Officer, IT, acquisition, data governance, privacy, security, and system owners to ensure records management requirements are built into system planning, acquisition, implementation, and sustainment activities.

• Provide evaluation records, retention-plan information, findings, corrective actions, and coordination records that support oversight, follow-up, and defensible compliance decisions to the ARO for review and maintenance.

Minimum Requirements:
