• Establish architecture principles for data cataloging, metadata management, lineage tracking, and access control.
• Partner with enterprise architecture, SAP consultants, and delivery teams to define data standards and governance models.
• Provide oversight to ensure data platform scalability, including handling structured, semi‑structured, and unstructured data across various ingestion pipelines.
• Review technical deliverables and mentor teams on best practices in data architecture and integration design.
