You'll be the primary point of contact between project execution and Helix engineering, translating data requirements into a capture plan the team can run, keeping delivery on schedule, and clearing the infrastructure and hardware issues that get in the way. You'll work closely with your Data Quality counterpart to catch and resolve issues at data creation time.
