* Operational Leadership & Scaling: Scale and mentor a multi-disciplinary data engineering and analytics team, establishing data contracts, quality benchmarks, and FinOps practices.
* Executive Alignment & Risk Escalation: Act as the primary technical interface for executives, driving evidence-based decision-making and escalating material launch or data governance risks early.
