• Coordinate resource allocation and work prioritization across multiple initiatives, balancing team capacity with competing demands to ensure optimal delivery of platform capabilities
• Establish and enforce data engineering best practices, governance standards, and security protocols, ensuring we do things the right way without cutting corners on quality or compliance
