  • Ensure data structures and pipelines are optimized for efficient data access, analysis, and visualization.
  • Build and maintain robust ETL pipelines to wrangle, clean, and integrate datasets from multiple sources.

Business Analysis:

  • Collaborate with business stakeholders to understand organizational needs, processes, and priorities.
  • Conduct gap analysis to identify shortcomings in current data systems and processes.
  • Translate business requirements into technical specifications, ensuring alignment with organizational goals.
  • Provide actionable insights to support strategic decision-making and process improvement.

Data Strategy and Governance:

  • Define and enforce best practices for data governance, ensuring data quality, security, and compliance.
  • Develop a long-term data strategy to future-proof systems and processes.
  • Act as a bridge between technical teams and business stakeholders to ensure clear communication and alignment.

Collaboration and Leadership:

  • Work cross-functionally with data engineers, analysts, and business leaders to deliver integrated solutions.
  • Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior team members or external consultants, as needed.

Key Skills and Qualifications:

Technical Expertise:

  • Proven experience in designing and implementing dimensional data models (e.g., star and snowflake schemas).
  • Strong proficiency in data wrangling and integration using tools like SQL, Python, or R.
  • Experience with ETL processes and tools (e.g., Informatica, Talend, Apache Airflow).
  • Familiarity with cloud platforms and data warehousing solutions (e.g., Snowflake, AWS, Azure, Google BigQuery).
  • Strong understanding of data governance and compliance frameworks (e.g., GDPR).

Business Acumen:

  • Experience conducting gap analyses and aligning technical solutions with business objectives.
  • Ability to understand complex business processes and translate them into data requirements.
