 * Introduce and embed dbt as part of the transformation and modelling layer.
 * Establish effective data governance using Unity Catalog, including data quality and access controls.
 * Build and maintain CI/CD processes to support reliable, repeatable deployments.
 * Work hands on with Databricks, focusing on architecture, optimisation and BI engineering rather than cloud infrastructure.
