You will work cross-functionally with data engineers, architects, business stakeholders, and executive leadership to assess the current state, identify gaps, and define the path forward.

Job Responsibilities

• Lead the planning, coordination, and execution of discovery and assessment efforts related to data pipelines, observability, governance, metadata practices, data ownership, and tooling.
• Facilitate stakeholder interviews and workshops with executive and technical teams to capture requirements and surface insights.
• Manage timelines and deliverables across a phased 18-week roadmap, ensuring high-quality and timely outcomes.
• Collaborate with data and analytics teams to assess readiness for Agentic BI and future-state enablement.
• Support the development and presentation of strategic recommendations and architecture blueprints.
• Coordinate the creation of frameworks, guidelines, and best practices for modern data platforms.
• Ensure clear documentation and communication across all phases of the project.

Basic Qualifications

• 4+ years of experience managing technical or data-focused projects, preferably within enterprise environments.
• Strong understanding of modern data infrastructure, governance models, and data engineering principles.
• Proven ability to manage cross-functional stakeholders across both business and technical domains.
• Exceptional organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills.
• Experience delivering complex strategic assessments with tangible outputs.
• Familiarity with Agentic BI, data product thinking, and data mesh concepts is a plus.
