Cloud Data Strategy Lead cloud migration and modernisation strategies using GCP and tools like Terraform, CI/CD pipelines, Azure DevOps, and GitHub. Data Modelling Apply hands-on expertise in enterprise data modelling using tools such as ERwin, ER/Studio, or PowerDesigner to ensure performance, scalability, and maintainability. ETL/ELT Frameworks Design robust data pipelines using tools like Cloud Composer, Dataflow, Dataproc, Informatica, or IBM DataStage, supporting both batch and streaming ingestion. Data Governance & Quality Implement governance frameworks, metadata management, and data quality controls using platforms such as Unity Catalog, Alation, Profisee, or DQ Pro. Client Advisory Act as a trusted advisor to senior client stakeholders (CDOs, CIOs, Heads of Data), shaping strategic roadmaps and transformation initiatives. Technical Leadership Lead and mentor cross-functional teams of architects, engineers, analysts, and data scientists. Promote innovation and best practices across global delivery teams. Documentation & Artefacts Produce and maintain architecture blueprints, technical design documents, data models, and integration diagrams to ensure transparency and alignment.
