• Technical Problem-Solving: Identify and anticipate complex technical challenges, proposing innovative and effective solutions.

• Technical Guidance: Provide advanced technical guidance and support to the data development and architecture teams.

• Compliance: Ensure the data architecture complies with data security regulations and standards.

• Mentorship: Mentor and empower team members by sharing knowledge and experience, guiding newer members as they grow into their roles.

• Strategy Execution: Actively participate in defining and executing the organization's data strategy.

• Partner Relationships: Develop and maintain strategic relationships with technology partners and suppliers.

• Representation: Represent the data architecture in internal and external technical and strategic forums.

Requirements:

• Experience with cloud platforms, preferably Azure Cloud Services
• Experience with Snowflake data warehousing
