• Coordinate release readiness and deployment with Release Management, Operations, Data Quality, and Data Governance partners
• Build strong relationships with data strategy and business stakeholders to drive delivery of new data sets and the evolution of existing data assets
• Embed data quality, lineage, and governance standards directly into backlog items and acceptance criteria, with particular focus on data used by AI and model driven products
