- Contribute to the development of a centralized data catalog, and lead communications around model releases, data updates, and enablement resources.
- Promote self-service analytics by ensuring that certified data products are discoverable, well-documented, and supported by shared standards.
Release Management & Quality Assurance
- Implement and manage CI/CD processes for dbt code and model deployments (including versioning, test coverage, and rollback plans).
- Lead reviews of internal and third-party dbt projects, ensuring adherence to modeling, performance, and data governance standards.
- Continuously monitor production data assets for reliability, accuracy, and usage trends; implement refinements based on feedback and results.

- Lead architectural design reviews and model workshops, and provide technical mentoring on dbt, Snowflake, and semantic modeling principles.
