• Ensure data integrity, quality, privacy, and security across systems, in line with client and regulatory requirements.

• Adhere to Isio’s software engineering best practices (e.g. technical design, review, unit testing, monitoring & alerting, source code management and review, and documentation).
• Become a subject matter expert and point of contact on available data within the business.
• Collaborate with stakeholders to understand their data needs and create data models accordingly.
• Be accountable for ensuring ongoing documentation held within Confluence and updated and maintained on a regular basis.
