• Lead the design of source and insight data products, global data models and semantic models, ensuring optimal performance for BI, AI and conversational analytics.


• Design and build Snowflake Semantic Views that encode governed business metrics, dimensions, and relationships, giving BI tools and AI agents a single, trusted definition of the truth.


• Partner with Data Engineering to curate AI-ready data products—trusted, well-documented, quality-assured data suited for consumption by GenAI, ML, and agentic applications—and help define what “AI-ready” means for the Supply Chain domain.


• Design and configure Cortex Agents (orchestrating Cortex Analyst over Semantic Views, and Cortex Search over unstructured content) to power conversational and agentic analytics for Supply Chain stakeholders.

• I have the ability to explain complex technical concepts clearly to non-technical executive stakeholders.


• I have a demonstrated ability to translate business requirements into technical solutions driving data architecture and Data Product design.


• I have experience with enterprise-scale data engineering orchestration frameworks/ELT tools and common data engineering Python libraries (dbt, pandas, great expectations, etc.).


• I have experience designing semantic models/Semantic Views for BI/AI data requirements, and familiarity with Snowflake Cortex (Cortex Analyst, Cortex Search, Cortex Agents) or comparable conversational-AI/agent platforms.


• I have an understanding of what it takes to make data “AI-ready”—data quality, metadata, governance, and access patterns suited to LLM, ML, and agentic consumption.


• I have knowledge of Agile methodologies with experience working on tools such as Jira & Confluence.


• I have a growing understanding of business processes and functional understanding of ERP tools like SAP, OTM, O9, OMP etc. with an analytical background.
