Data Warehousing & Analytics (e.g., Snowflake, Databricks, Oracle Exadata). Data Virtualization (e.g., Denodo, Dremio). BI & Reporting (e.g., Power BI, Cognos). Data Catalog & Governance (e.g., Alation, Informatica). Data Observability & Access Controls. Required Experience & Skills 10+ years implementing and supporting enterprise data platforms. 5+ years leading complex data, analytics, or technology transformation initiatives. Proven success delivering large-scale implementations across multiple teams. Strong DataOps and production support experience. Ability to assess delivery risks and guide teams without hands-on coding. Excellent communication and cross-team leadership skills. People management experience is a plus. What Success Looks Like Data platforms are reliable, secure, and trusted. Initiatives are delivered on time, production-ready, and adopted. Teams are aligned with clear ownership and execution discipline. Fewer downstream issues due to strong planning and operational readiness.
