• Collaborate closely with Engineering and Data Infrastructure to manage and improve data integrations (e.g., Fivetran connectors, S3 pipelines, and other ingestion patterns) and ensure alignment and efficiency across the organization
• Implement and maintain monitoring, alerting, and testing for data workflows to ensure high data quality and reliability, and champion CI/CD and other engineering best practices within the team's pipelines
• Lead initiatives to drive data strategy, roadmap planning, and prioritization, ensuring alignment with business objectives, and act as a thought leader who expands the team's influence and impact throughout Finance and the broader organization
• Drive workflow automation and innovation across Finance, including identifying and implementing Gen-AI-enabled productivity solutions to modernize processes and increase team leverage
