Project overview

Assignment Description

This assignment concerns project CDS.IV.791, also known as project GIM 2.0, focused on updating the existing IT resources of the Intelligence Module (GIM). To manage this project effectively, a GIS advisor is needed to support the implementation of GIS-specific tooling, the creation of (technical) documentation, addressing security issues, and analyzing GIS-related matters. Translating concepts and user needs into a suitable GIS solution, supported by the project team and Subject Matter Experts where necessary, is an important part of the diverse task package.

Additionally, the GIS advisor provides solicited and unsolicited advice on quality requirements and provisions, and participates in project activities. Besides project-related activities, you will perform tasks for the Plan/BITA and/or I&V departments.

Your role as GIS advisor focuses on translating business needs/requirements into suitable GIS solutions. You will understand the customer's request and know how to elicit detailed requirements. You have knowledge of relevant GIS applications and how to implement them. You have experience in analyzing (user) needs, can translate them into technical specifications, and determine suitable solution directions.

Furthermore, you know how to improve current processes to meet user needs. Creating quality criteria, use cases, and specifications, in collaboration with Subject Matter Experts where necessary, also falls under the scope of work. Knowledge of GEO intelligence, specifically in the context of the Genie, is a pré.
