• Demonstrated ability to build scalable, reliable ETL/ELT workflows that serve diverse analytical and reporting needs.
• Experience working cross-functionally in complex organizations with multiple stakeholder groups.
• Passion for operational excellence, data governance, and driving actionable business insights from data.
• Preferred qualifications:
