In this role, you will work at the intersection of business strategy, architecture, and modern data technologies, transforming complex data environments into scalable, well-structured solutions. You will define and advance the data architecture that supports both the business and the broader enterprise, ensuring data is trusted, governed, reusable, and fit for purpose.
