## Description

Primary focus: Data readiness, canonical standards, conceptual modelling, and gap analysis.

 * Lead the creation of the conceptual, logical, and physical data models.

 * Lead the Conceptual Data Model (CDM) development for entities relevant to client's models (Customer, Account, Transaction, Product).

 * Conduct data profiling and quality assessments of required model inputs.

 * Map current attributes to client's model feature requirements and identify gaps.'

 * Assess readiness of data domains (transaction history, merchant detail, behavioral metrics).

 * Review existing canonical data standards, metadata, and lineage to determine compatibility with modelling needs.

 * Define early-stage transformation and enrichment needs (behavioral features, aggregations, rolling windows).

 * Define and oversee the strategy for data ingestion, movement, and synchronization from Snowflake to Databricks.

 * Ensure schema consistency, data completeness, and performance for high-volume transactional datasets.

 * Partner with engineering and platform teams to ensure the data foundation meets model requirements.

 * Evaluate feasibility of creating model-ready datasets.
