Key Responsibilities


1. Data Architecture & Engineering

Design and implement modern, scalable data architectures (data lakehouse, streaming, APIs, etc.) to support analytics and AI workloads. Oversee data ingestion, integration, and transformation processes across structured and unstructured sources. Partner with DevOps and Cloud teams to ensure data platforms meet enterprise performance, security, and compliance standards. Define best practices for metadata management, data lineage, and data quality frameworks.

Promote responsible AI practices ensuring transparency, fairness, and explainability in all AI initiatives.

4. AI Governance & Strategy

Define and implement frameworks for AI governance, including ethical AI guidelines, model lifecycle management, and compliance. Establish policies for model versioning, monitoring, and risk assessment. Act as a thought leader on AI maturity and innovation across the organization.

5. Cross-Functional Leadership & Inspiration

Inspire and mentor cross-functional teams -- including engineers, analysts, and product owners -- toward data-driven and AI-powered ways of working. Facilitate knowledge sharing and promote a culture of technical excellence and curiosity.

Communicate complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders effectively.
