- Implementing data quality monitoring and validation processes to ensure the accuracy, completeness, consistency, and reliability of data across the entire data lifecycle.
- Collaborate with engineers, product managers, and data scientists to understand data needs and representing key data insights in a meaningful way
- Design, build, and launch collections of sophisticated data models and visualizations that support multiple use cases across different products or domains
