    • Partner with data science and engineering teams to ensure data pipelines and metadata support AI/ML use cases and analytical workflows.
    • Drive data governance and lifecycle management, including schema versioning, lineage tracking, auditability, and compliance with security and privacy requirements.
    • Oversee integration across platforms (e.g., AWS, Databricks, Palantir), ensuring scalable, secure, and reliable data exchange.
    • Lead and mentor teams in a matrixed, cross-functional environment, providing technical direction and quality oversight.
    • Engage with senior stakeholders to define data strategy, prioritize initiatives, and translate business needs into technical solutions.
    • Operate within an Agile delivery model, overseeing backlog prioritization, technical design reviews, and iterative delivery across workstreams.

    • Strong experience designing and managing large-scale data pipelines in cloud environments (AWS preferred).
    • Experience integrating Palantir with Databricks and/or Spark-based platforms for advanced data processing and analytics.
