• Proficiency in conceptual, logical, and physical data modelling.
• Strong knowledge of data governance, quality, and Master Data Management (MDM) frameworks.
• Proven expertise in designing and migrating to cloud-native data platforms (e.g., Azure, AWS).
• Deep understanding of data integration patterns, including ETL, APIs, and middleware.
• Ability to reverse-engineer legacy systems and map complex data flows.
• Exceptional stakeholder management and communication skills, with the ability to influence both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Experience leading data migration programmes and managing data lifecycle requirements.
