  • Create metrics and dashboards that track data accuracy, completeness, and system health.
  • Champion data health and reliability across all integrated systems and domains.

Develop Standardized Data Interfaces

  • Design and maintain APIs, data feeds, and access layers that support internal and external consumers.
  • Ensure data delivery mechanisms adhere to standards for security, usability, and scalability.

Cross‑Functional Collaboration

  • Partner with Product, Engineering, Analytics, and Operations to understand data needs and translate business requirements into technical solutions.

  • Effective collaboration with cross-functional partners.
  • Ability to manage multiple initiatives while delivering high‑quality solutions.
  • A pragmatic, ownership‑oriented mindset with a passion for building scalable systems.

Bonus Qualifications
