• Lead coordinated releases for shared data models, including impact analysis, validation, communication, and rollback planning.
• Investigate and resolve complex, multi-system data issues by identifying root causes and driving fixes at the source.
• Mentor BI developers through code reviews, coaching, and knowledge sharing to improve data modeling, reconciliation, and performance optimization.
• Represent BI in stakeholder and leadership discussions, clearly communicating risks, trade-offs, and constraints.
• Define and maintain documentation, ticketing, and process standards across the BI team.
• Evaluate new tools, technologies, and features, recommending adoption when beneficial.
• Manage delivery across multiple concurrent projects, balancing scope, risk, and timelines.
• Ensure the BI platform and toolset remain aligned with evolving business objectives and future growth.
