• Coordinate stakeholder communications, demos, and feedback loops to ensure delivered solutions meet business outcomes and data quality expectations.
• Support data governance practices by promoting consistent definitions, lineage awareness, stewardship engagement, and adherence to privacy/security requirements.
• Define and document data governance and security requirements (e.g., classification, access controls/role-based security, privacy constraints, retention, auditability) and ensure they are incorporated into user stories and acceptance criteria.
• Continuously identify opportunities to streamline requirements, improve data quality, and enhance self-service analytics and operational reporting.
