Operating at the intersection of data engineering, analytics, and business engagement, this role is responsible for shaping how data is modeled, curated, and consumed within the enterprise. You will partner closely with business stakeholders, analysts, and engineering teams to design clean, intuitive, and high-value data assets that enable self-service analytics and accelerate organizational insight. A unique and growing aspect of this role involves building trusted data environments for AI and agentic systems. Rather than exposing raw or loosely governed data, you will help create purpose-built, well-scoped data products that allow AI-driven solutions to operate confidently against reliable and contextually accurate information. This work will directly influence how the organization scales modern analytics and AI responsibly. The ideal candidate enjoys solving ambiguous problems, engaging directly with business users, and simplifying complex data challenges into elegant, governed, and reusable solutions. Success in this role requires a blend of technical depth, strong communication skills, curiosity, and a passion for making data more accessible, trustworthy, and impactful across the enterprise.
