• Ability to deliver strong data transformation results inside corporate guardrails (e.g., security and access, governance, intake, and prioritization), and
• Experience designing AI-ready data platforms, including semantic modeling, metadata management, and governed self-service analytics.
• Direct AI implementation experience is a plus but not required for the role.

SKILLS:

• Strong aptitude for data model creation, ideally to include experience in data engineering, analytic application development, and data ecosystem development and operations,
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills at executive levels, with the ability to interpret and summarize data to aid management in achieving strategic and operational goals,

• Confidence and presence collaborating with and presenting to executive staff,
• Ability to effectively manage projects; results-oriented and able to roll-up sleeves to deliver critical tasks,
