• Stay up to date with emerging trends and technologies in data architecture, AI/ML, and cloud computing, and apply this knowledge to drive innovation and improvement in the platform.
• Develop and manage the platform’s technical roadmap, ensuring alignment with business objectives, Generative AI demands for data, and industry trends.
• Develop and deploy related client-facing services into our Enterprise Automation Fabric.
• Develop the annual budget to support data platform priorities for the coming year.
• Develop, submit, and defend enhancement project requests based on a researched and supported business case for securing your annual product investments.
• Lead a team of architects, engineers, and data scientists to design, develop, and implement the platform’s components, including data pipelines, data lakehouses, and analytics.
• Ensure the platform’s scalability, reliability, and performance, and develop strategies to optimize resource utilization and reduce costs.
• Participate in and drive Vendor Onboarding when implementing new tools/technologies.
• Develop and manage relationships with key stakeholders, including business leaders, data scientists, and engineers to ensure the platform meets business needs and expectations.
