• Translate business requirements into clear, well documented data models that are intuitive, performant, and reusable across analytics and BI tools.
• Own the analytics layer of the data platform, ensuring consistency, clarity, and trust in metrics and definitions.
• Implement dbt tests, documentation, and exposures to improve data quality, observability, and stakeholder confidence.

• Work with Analytics, Reporting, and Business stakeholders to ensure data models meet analytical and operational needs.
• Support BI tools (e.g., Power BI, Tableau, Looker) by providing well designed, analytics ready datasets rather than ad hoc SQL.
