* Monitor and ensure compliance with applicable US regulatory and market requirements for meter data accuracy, retention, and reporting (FERC, state PUC, ANSI C12 standards).

* Stay current with utility industry trends including Green Button, NAESB standards, AMI 2.0, and evolving state-level data access regulations; assess and implement impacts to Oracle MDM configuration.
