Issue Investigation and Prevention: Use SQL in Snowflake to profile data,



reconcile records and trace discrepancies across source files, ingestion, transformations and downstream outputs; determine root cause and implement durable fixes with automated checks to prevent recurrence.

Trusted Data Product Development: Partner with data engineers to design reusable models and pipelines from raw ingestion to curated data products; define business rules, data quality controls, lineage and release validation so users can depend on consistent, well‑documented data.

Delivery and Prioritization: Maintain a clear Jira backlog across requests, enhancements, launches and incidents; assess impact and dependencies, drive requirements discussions, track decisions and guide cutovers, hypercare and post‑release reviews for smooth, predictable delivery.
