Position Description
We are seeking a skilled and experienced Database Manager whose primary responsibility will be overseeing a comprehensive database of state and local vehicle-related fees for a client in the vehicle insurance industry. In this role, you will be responsible for maintaining the accuracy and integrity of the data, and you will work with internal MultiState teams and directly with the client. You will also oversee the daily work of the project team, who conduct monthly reviews of our fee data against external sources. You will be responsible for writing and maintaining database and process documentation, assisting the client lead in resolving any issues that arise, and working with the client lead to develop and implement new systems for checking and maintaining data accuracy and team efficiency. While this is a managerial role, everyone on the project team is expected to participate in the monthly data review and update data as required to ensure an ongoing and complete understanding of the project. Position location preference is a hybrid arrangement at our Arlington, VA office, but fully remote work is possible for the right candidate.

Work with client lead to develop and implement new database processes, including collaborating with in-house engineers to develop new features to improve team efficiency and general data accuracy.
Lead any ad hoc research projects that arise related to the project.
Stay updated with the latest data quality and database management trends, technologies, and best practices to recommend and implement improvements.
