• Implement data access and retention policies aligned with standards such as GDPR, 21 CFR Part 11, ALCOA++, NIS2, and EMA guidelines.
• Partner with business stakeholders to translate needs into efficient and scalable data solutions.
• Support reporting, analytics, and dashboard development to provide real-time insights and operational visibility.
• Evaluate new technologies and approaches to support our vision of a modular, dynamic, and compliant data ecosystem.
