• Develop and standardize testing artifacts, including:
• Test strategies and approach documentation

• Perform and coordinate data validation and data quality testing (accuracy, completeness, consistency, timeliness)
• Partner with:
• Business teams to define success criteria and expected outcomes
• Data engineering teams to understand transformations and pipelines
• BI/reporting teams to validate dashboards and metrics
• Ensure coverage across the full data lifecycle: ingestion transformation storage reporting/consumption
• Build structure in an evolving environment; create repeatable processes where none exist today

Required Qualifications

• Familiarity with BI tools such as Power BI (Tableau also acceptable)
• Strong ability to collaborate across business and technical teams

Preferred / Nice-to-Have Skills
