• Drive the design and validation of robust data models, ensuring high data quality and consistency.
• Collaborate with Azure data platform teams to deliver secure, efficient, and scalable cloud-based data solutions.
• Monitor and measure the performance of data products, ensuring alignment with KPIs and business goals.
• Champion data governance, quality, and compliance practices across all stages of the product lifecycle.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Information Systems, or a related field.
• 6+ years of experience in Data/Analytics/BI roles, with 3+ years in a Product Owner or Business Analyst capacity.
• Strong understanding of data modelling (relational, dimensional, and modern NoSQL/data lake concepts).
• Hands-on experience with Azure Data Services (Azure Data Factory, Azure Synapse, Azure SQL, Data Lake, etc.).
• Proven track record of gathering, documenting, and prioritizing business and technical requirements.
• Proficiency in tools like Power BI, SQL, and Azure DevOps/JIRA.
• Strong stakeholder management, analytical thinking, and problem-solving skills.
