2. Working knowledge of key data management concepts, including data quality, data lineage, cataloguing, and metadata management.
3. Exposure to enterprise data tools such as Informatica, Collibra, or similar platforms is a plus.
4. Strong communication skills and the ability to clearly explain technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
5. Comfortable working in agile and fast-paced environments.
6. A proactive, curious mindset with a desire to grow within the data and AI consulting space.

Why Join?
