• Familiarity with version control and CI/CD practices (e.g. Git, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps).
• Ability to translate business and governance requirements into scalable technical solutions.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to collaborate across technical and non-technical teams.
• Experience with data catalogue, metadata management or data lineage tools such as Atlan or Purview.
• Knowledge of data governance frameworks and best practices.
