• Azure Data Architecture — Guide delivery alignment to target-state Azure data architecture, including Azure Data Lake Storage, curated data zones, secure data-sharing patterns, and business-ready consumption layers.
• Databricks Delivery — Ensure Azure Databricks pipelines, Delta Lake patterns, and medallion-oriented engineering practices support scalable analytics, reporting, personalization, forecasting, and enterprise decisioning use cases.
• Data Analysis & Quality — Drive data profiling, reconciliation, validation, and KPI alignment across source and target platforms to support business confidence and production readiness.
• Onshore/Offshore Coordination — Manage Capgemini delivery teams across architecture, data engineering, data analysis, QA, lineage, data modeling, and release coordination.
• Resource Planning — Align capacity, skill mix, and work allocation to migration waves, delivery priorities, and business-domain sequencing.
• Financial Governance — Support forecasting, burn tracking, scope management, and commercial discipline for a professional-services engagement.
• Vendor & Partner Coordination — Coordinate effectively with Microsoft Azure, Databricks, client's technology partners, and other delivery stakeholders to remove blockers and maintain execution momentum.
