• Work closely with data engineering teams to design, analyze, and optimize data pipelines and data flows.
• Support ontology modeling and data integration initiatives.
• Analyze data sources, transformations, and downstream dependencies to ensure data quality and consistency.
• Facilitate communication between technical and business teams throughout the project lifecycle.
• Participate in solution design discussions and provide functional and technical analysis.
• Act as Scrum Master when required by facilitating Agile ceremonies, sprint planning, backlog grooming, retrospectives, and daily stand-ups.
• Track project progress using JIRA and ensure timely delivery of sprint commitments.
• Identify risks, dependencies, and blockers while driving issue resolution.
• Support testing, validation, and production deployment activities.

Required Skills & Qualifications

• Strong technical background with hands-on experience in data engineering, ETL/data pipelines, and data integration.
• Experience working with data flows, data modeling, and technical system analysis.
• Ability to bridge business requirements with technical implementation.
• Experience working in Agile environments with knowledge of Scrum methodologies.
• Hands-on experience using JIRA for backlog management and sprint tracking.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.
• Experience collaborating with cross-functional technical teams.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with Palantir Foundry.
• Understanding of ontology concepts and semantic data modeling.
• Knowledge of the pharmaceutical/life sciences market access domain.
• Prior experience serving as a Scrum Master or Agile facilitator.
• Familiarity with cloud-based data platforms and modern data architecture.

Nice to Have

• Experience with data governance and metadata management.
• Exposure to enterprise data platforms and workflow orchestration tools.
• Scrum Master certification (CSM, PSM, or equivalent).
