- Partner with executive leadership and business units to translate strategic needs into scalable data solutions and roadmaps.
- Build, lead, and mentor a high-performing data management team, fostering capability development and operational excellence.
- Manage vendor relationships, budgets, and external contractors as part of enterprise data operations.
- 10+ years of experience in data management, business intelligence, or enterprise data architecture.
- 5+ years of senior leadership experience with direct people management responsibility.
- Strong hands-on expertise with Microsoft Fabric, Azure data services (Synapse, Data Factory, Data Lake, Databricks), and Power BI.
- Proven experience designing enterprise-scale data platforms, semantic models, and analytics solutions in complex environments.
- Deep knowledge of data engineering practices, including SQL, Python, ETL/ELT pipelines, and API-based integrations.
- Experience implementing data governance frameworks and tools such as Microsoft Purview or equivalent platforms.
- Strong understanding of AI/ML integration within enterprise data ecosystems, including Azure OpenAI and machine learning models.
- Experience integrating ERP systems (e.g., Microsoft Business Central) and PSA or enterprise tools into unified data environments.
- Strong executive communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence C-level leadership.
- Background in complex, multi-entity, or post-merger environments with distributed data systems.
- Relevant Microsoft certifications (e.g., Azure Data Engineer Associate, Fabric Analytics Engineer Associate) preferred.
