• Translate business needs into delivery artifacts including technical designs, acceptance criteria, measurable outcomes, and execution plans.
• Lead end-to-end delivery from requirements → POC → production → scaled adoption, including operating model handoff where needed.
• Build verification and validation mechanisms such as business-rule checks, evaluation datasets, and regression testing to ensure safe and reliable outputs.
• Operate production solutions through monitoring, performance/stability improvements, drift management, and continuous iteration.
• Partner with technology teams to document data sources, formats, and flows while implementing validation to ensure downstream readiness for analytics and reporting.

• Bachelor’s degree (or equivalent experience) in a relevant field (e.g., data science, computer science, engineering, math, sciences) or equivalent professional experience.
• 5+ years of experience in data management, data governance, risk management/analytics, data science, or a closely related domain.
• Demonstrate strong analytical problem-solving skills with the ability to execute effectively in time-sensitive environments.
• Communicate clearly in writing and verbally, producing high-quality documentation and influencing business, risk, and technology stakeholders.
• Apply foundational knowledge of data management principles and end-to-end data lifecycle management.
• Program effectively in Python and work confidently with SQL (or similar querying languages).
• Build and interpret dashboards/analysis using Tableau (or equivalent BI experience aligned to the role’s needs).
• Collaborate cross-functionally to define requirements, align stakeholders, and drive approvals for delivery and adoption.
• Execute delivery with accountability, including defining outcomes, tracking progress, and managing dependencies through to production.
• Promote strong data quality and control discipline, including validation and readiness for downstream reporting and analytics.
• Adhere to data protection and usage expectations appropriate for risk data and decisioning workflows.

Preferred Qualifications, Capabilities, and Skills:

• Deliver hands-on experience with an LLM platform (model onboarding/serving, prompt/version management, evaluations).
• Build experience with agent orchestration frameworks (tool use, retrieval-augmented generation, state/context management).
