• Define and execute test programs for BI solutions, including data validation, regression tests, contract tests, and automated pipelines integrated into CI/CD.
• Produce and maintain technical documentation (data dictionaries, lineage, design specifications, runbooks) to support transparency, governance, and audit readiness.
• Perform deployment and configuration of BI systems and platforms, applying infrastructure-as-code, version control, and environment management practices.
• Govern the BI semantic layer (KPIs, metrics catalog, naming conventions, row-level security) to ensure consistency and trusted insights.
• Manage access controls and data security within BI platforms in alignment with GDPR and internal data protection policies.
• Optimize cost and performance of BI platforms and warehouses (partitioning, caching, clustering, query optimization, resource scaling).
• Define and enforce data lineage and stewardship practices, ensuring transparency, auditability, and compliance.
• Enable self-service BI capabilities for business users through curated datasets, certified reports, and training/support.
