⦁ Understand end-to-end data flows and upstream systems to ensure data quality and integrity.
⦁ Collaborate with business stakeholders to translate requirements into analytical solutions.
⦁ Perform data profiling, validation, and reconciliation to ensure trustworthy outputs.
⦁ Interpret and present data insights in a clear, narrative-driven manner, including conversational insights.
⦁ Support AI/BI initiatives by preparing curated datasets and enabling insight generation layers.
⦁ Document data definitions, transformations, and lineage for transparency and governance.
⦁ Identify trends, anomalies, and patterns in data to proactively inform stakeholders.
