The position requires staying current with rapidly changing industry requirements and recommending advancements that align with organizational goals.

Qualified candidates must have demonstrated experience in database design, database programming, database administration and data integration/ETL (extract, transform, load) or modern cloud‑native data engineering. This individual must have knowledge of project management methodologies and practices as well as strong leadership and financial management skills. The ideal candidate will have solid experience of data warehouses, data engineering practices, relational database design—the management and optimization of structured, semi‑structured and unstructured data types—data modeling, analytics and reporting tools such as SSRS, Power BI, Tableau and Cognos and data mapping and data integration tools such as Azure Data Factory, SSIS and Databricks.

The ideal candidate must have experience (or ability to quickly become proficient) with enterprise cloud data platforms (such as AWS, Google Cloud, or Microsoft Azure). Knowledgeable in Microsoft Azure services preferred. Must be a customer‑focused, determined leader who possesses strong facilitation, presentation, conflict management, problem solving and communications skills.
