Sensemaking Specialist

Sensemaking Specialist

SKADRA is recruiting a sensemaking specialist to support the Canadian defence. This role involves supporting decision making in complex, ambiguous and uncertain situations, and contributing to the development of capabilities and systems to model, anticipate and convey a clear understanding of these situations.

Key responsibilities:

• Create individual and collective processes that integrate tacit knowledge (such as experience, expertise, and culture) with real-time information to develop effective models of the situation.
• Develop tools to extract key activities and patterns from the operational environment and share this awareness with relevant participants across the network.
• Design capabilities to project current activities and patterns into potential future scenarios, helping to identify new opportunities and threats.
• Create methods to generate options, predict adversary behaviour, and understand the effects of decisions in their social, political, and economic contexts.
• Implement information fusion systems using technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) and data fusion.
• Design and implement expert systems.
• Conduct decision analysis studies in areas such as information imperfection (e.g., probability and fuzzy sets), data fusion, classification theories, and pattern recognition.
• Design and implement systems in fields like AI, optimization, business intelligence, and decision support.
