• Transformations using stored procedures, views, and DBT.
• Clear separation of bronze, silver, and gold layers aligned to a medallion architecture.
• Collaborate with BI and Analytics teams to ensure Gold layer data models appropriately support:
• Executive dashboards and operational reporting

This is a really interesting role in a thriving business.
