Data Lakehouse Development & Delivery
  • Oversee development of integrated data pipelines that connect disparate systems (ERP, CRM, operational systems, third-party platforms).
  • Define and implement data models (conceptual, logical, physical) to support analytics and reporting.
  • Establish data quality frameworks and ensure reliability, consistency, and integrity of enterprise data.
  • Ensure performance optimization and scalability of the data environment.
Data Governance & Master Data Management
  • Develop and implement enterprise data governance policies, standards, and controls.
  • Lead Master Data Management (MDM) initiatives to standardize key business entities across systems.
  • Define data ownership, stewardship, and accountability models across business units.
  • Ensure compliance with regulatory, security, and data privacy requirements.
Leadership & Stakeholder Engagement
  • Act as a trusted advisor to executive leadership, including the CTO and business leaders.
  • Communicate complex technical concepts clearly to non-technical stakeholders.
  • Lead cross-functional teams, including data engineers, analysts, and business users.
  • Drive adoption of data solutions across the organization through change management and stakeholder alignment.

Required Qualifications
  • 8+ years of experience in data architecture, data engineering, or enterprise data management roles.
  • Proven experience building an enterprise data Lakehouse from scratch spanning multiple systems and business units.
  • Strong experience with data modeling, ETL/ELT design, and data integration frameworks.
  • Hands-on experience with cloud data platforms (e.g., Azure, AWS, or Google Cloud Platform).
  • Demonstrated expertise in:
    • Data Governance frameworks
    • Master Data Management (MDM)
    • Data quality and metadata management
  • Experience leading discovery sessions and requirements gathering workshops with senior stakeholders.
  • Strong understanding of enterprise systems (ERP, CRM, operational apps) and integration patterns.
  • Excellent communication, facilitation, and leadership skills.

Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience in consulting environments or multi-client, multi-business unit organizations.
  • Industry experience in oil & gas or chemical sectors, with an understanding of upstream, midstream, downstream, or refining operations.
