- Leading or mentoring development teams
- Strong SQL skills for querying, transformation, and validation
- Solid understanding of SDLC and development best practices
- Expertise in data modeling and database design (star schema, fact/dimension tables, relationships, keys)
- Experience building reusable semantic layers and data models
- Knowledge of BI governance, KPI standardization, and data quality practices
- Ability to thrive in fast-paced, ambiguous environments
- Strong communication and stakeholder management skills
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with Microsoft Dynamics (CRM)
- Exposure to Salesforce-to-Dynamics migrations
- Experience with Databricks or similar platforms
- Knowledge of data pipeline scalability and performance optimization
