Ensure best practices in ETL/ELT development, data modeling, and pipeline orchestration. Quality & Integration: Partner with technical teams to deploy Master Data Management (MDM) solutions that drive data consistency and reliability across the enterprise. AI/ML Enablement: Collaborate with data scientists and engineers to ensure the platform is architected for future-ready AI/ML use cases.
