Ensure data models follow best practices for performance, maintainability, and scalability.

Establish data quality metrics and SLAs for analytics datasets.
Collaborate with all stakeholders to resolve data quality issues at the source.
Enable self‑service analytics by creating intuitive, well‑documented data models.
Partner with business and product stakeholders to understand analytics requirements and translate them into technical solutions.

Work closely with analysts and data scientists to provide analysis‑ready datasets.
Collaborate with business stakeholders to understand requirements and design appropriate data solutions.
Partner with Data Engineers to ensure optimal data pipeline design and performance.
Communicate technical concepts clearly to both technical and business audiences.
