- Work closely with centralized Data Engineering and Data Modelling teams to ensure alignment with enterprise frameworks, governance, and standards.
- Provide trusted data outputs to enable BI dashboards, analytics, and reporting for Commercial & Operations teams.
- Enable downstream use cases in BI, reporting, and activation.
