Struggling to align agile data systems with rigid service management controls?
Who this is for
Principal Data Engineer or Senior Database Specialist with 15+ years in regulated sectors, often working across federal contracts with layered compliance obligations. Values precision, precedent, and quiet authority over visibility.
Who this is not for

What you walk away with
- Navigate the ISO 20000 standard with framework-cold fluency across all 13 service management processes
- Produce audit-ready service documentation tailored to federal data system requirements
- Lead cross-functional alignment between data engineering and service operations teams using shared control language
- Anticipate and resolve compliance escalations before they reach senior review
