Own the Unity Catalog governance model, RBAC, lineage, business glossary, and metric definitions, as the platform-enforced foundation for trusted data.<br>
Drive the platform roadmap from current state to target, sequencing technical debt remediation, new capability build-out, and platform readiness for downstream AI and analytics demand.<br>
Personally lead design reviews and architecture decisions for the platform, engaging directly with the engineering team on complex technical problems where senior technical judgment is required.<br>
Own data platform observability and operational excellence, pipeline reliability, SLA adherence, incident response, and data quality monitoring.</p>

Set and enforce delivery standards: sprint cadence, code review, documentation, testing, validation, and release management practices that govern all team output.<br>
Define and own data SLAs to the business, pipeline refresh frequency, availability, and incident response commitments, and ensure delivery is held against them.<br>
Own the data integration roadmap, prioritising ingestion of new source systems into the lake in alignment with business demand and platform readiness.<br>
Manage complex integration challenges across source systems, engaging directly on technical constraints, working with upstream owners, and designing solutions that align data latency and refresh frequency with business needs.<br>
Own the portfolio of data products, datasets, semantic models, and analytics deliverables, ensuring each is documented, well-understood, and fit for the business question it answers.<br>
Define and own the standard for what a Gold-layer data product must satisfy to be AI-ready, distinguishing analytics-grade from model-training-grade, with explicit criteria covering completeness, label integrity, statistical consistency, and lineage traceability.</p>
