Create and maintain data models, semantic layers, and governed metrics that enable consistent, trusted, and business-ready data consumption.
Implement data quality, reconciliation, observability, and monitoring processes to ensure reliable, recoverable, and high-performing data pipelines.
Partner with AI/ML, platform engineering, and security teams to deliver governed data products, support regulatory compliance requirements, and ensure proper data classification and access controls.
Establish and enforce data governance standards, lineage documentation, data contracts, quality thresholds, and operational procedures while supporting onboarding of new data sources and environments.
