• Bridge Business & Technical Needs: Work closely with business stakeholders to gather data requirements and translate them into clear, structured technical specifications.
• Data Modeling Expertise: Evaluate and evolve our current schema; recommend and apply appropriate modeling techniques (e.g., star schema, One Big Table, normalized/relational models) based on use cases and downstream consumption.
• Schema Management: Review and refine the existing data model with an eye toward future extensibility and performance, adjusting as business needs evolve.
• Data Governance & Quality: Define data standards and best practices to ensure high-quality, consistent, and secure data across platforms.
• Team Enablement: Collaborate with Data Engineers to guide the implementation of architecture patterns and ensure alignment between business goals and technical execution.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with Delta Lake, Unity Catalog, and Databricks SQL.
• Background in building multi-tenant or cross-domain architectures in a centralized data lake environment.
• Knowledge of data privacy and compliance frameworks (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA).
• Experience mentoring or supporting data engineers on architectural best practices.
• Exposure to data product thinking and data mesh principles is a plus.
