* Implement Unity Catalog governance, metadata, access controls, lineage, certification, and deprecation standards.
* Automate data quality, reconciliation, freshness, and anomaly monitoring for certified products.
* Publish reusable, documented assets that support self-service analytics and governed AI consumption.
** Key Partnerships
*** Analysts and visualization partners: provide trusted models and absorb recurring logic into governed assets.
* Business owners and data stewards: align definitions, priorities, certification evidence, and acceptable quality.
* IT and data platform teams: define curated input contracts and resolve upstream source issues.
* AI and automation engineers: provide secure, described, retrieval-ready data for agents and workflows.
** Required Qualifications

* Power BI semantic modeling experience, including DAX, relationships, security, and optimization.
* Experience with data governance, metadata, lineage, quality controls, Git, code review, and deployment discipline.
* Ability to translate business questions and metric definitions into scalable data products and plain-language documentation.
** Preferred Experience
