Responsibilities

• Establish automated quality checks, lineage tracking, and monitoring so data consumers can trust the numbers they use daily
• Document architecture, pipelines, and modeling decisions clearly and train stakeholders on how to query and interpret the resulting assets
• Iterate on storage, orchestration, and access patterns as new products and campaigns increase data volume and complexity

Requirements
