## Description

Lead a team responsible for the architecture, roadmap, and delivery of Milan's Snowflake data platform, including ingestion, the data lakehouse, identity resolution, and data engineering of foundational datasets so the organization has a reliable, scalable data foundation for today's analytics and reporting and tomorrow's artificial intelligence (AI) initiatives.

Drive technical standards and patterns that guide day-to-day data architecture decisions across the team. Partner with cross-functional leaders to translate business priorities into platform capabilities. Build the technical and professional capabilities of the team through coaching, feedback, and performance management., * Platform Architecture & Technical Strategy: Inform the technical architecture and drive the roadmap for Milan's Snowflake data platform, including ingestion, the medallion architecture lakehouse, identity resolution, and data engineering of foundational datasets. Make and document architectural decisions that balance near-term delivery with long-term reusability, scalability, and maintainability. Evaluate new tools, patterns, and approaches (e.g., managed ingestion, governed transformation frameworks, data observability) and recommend where Milan should build versus buy.

 * Team Leadership & People Management: Hire, coach, and manage the performance of data engineers and other technical staff on the platform team. Foster a culture of technical craftsmanship, accountability, and continuous improvement. Set clear goals and provide regular feedback to support each team member's growth and development.
 * Delivery & Prioritization: Prioritize and manage delivery of platform initiatives, including ingestion, identity and journey stitching, customer 360, data quality, and medallion layers that enable business intelligence, data science, and AI/agentic workloads. Break down complex technical roadmaps into achievable milestones and manage progress against them. Escalate risks, trade-offs, and resourcing needs to leadership early and clearly.
 * Hands-On Engineering: Contribute directly to the design and development of complex data pipelines, data models, and platform components alongside the team. Perform code reviews and drive the use of reusable standards, templates, and best practices in conjunction with Principal Data Architect. Collaborate with the team to troubleshoot and resolve technical issues that arise.

Represent the data platform in conversations with cross-functional departments and external partners. Communicate technical direction, progress, and constraints clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
