* Data pipelines & integration design
* Data quality & validation frameworks
* Data lineage and governance

Day-to-Day Responsibilities
* Provide architectural guidance across o9 and related planning, data, and analytics solutions

* Guide teams on data pipeline design, validation, and integration within Azure environments
* Collaborate with data science and analytics teams to ensure forecasting workflows are scalable and operationally sound
* Develop and maintain runbooks, design guidance, and reusable assets
* Identify cross-team dependencies and proactively mitigate delivery risks
* Partner with stakeholders to align technical execution with roadmap priorities and governance standards
