• Review ETL/ELT processes, schema designs, APIs, and data transformations to ensure alignment with data quality requirements
• Champion automation-first approaches and integrate testing into CI/CD pipelines
• Provide clear, actionable insights to leadership on quality risks, trends, and readiness
• Evaluate and introduce new QA tools, frameworks, and technologies
• Support and promote the development of QA team initiatives, including the mentorship of more junior analysts
