• Governance and Documentation: Collaborate with the Lead, Data Integrity & Governance, to develop standards and artifacts (data flow diagrams, Confluence pages) for the operations domain.
• Advanced Analytical Support: Provide ad‑hoc technical support for analyses requiring complex transformations, while identifying and leading continuous improvement activities for existing data models.

• Experience with process mapping software (Lucidchart, Visio).
