- Prepare data for predictive and prescriptive modeling
- Support machine learning operations (MLOps)
- Enable searching, data visualization, and advanced analytics - including building and maintaining dashboards and reports in Tableau and Power BI to drive self-serve analytics across the business
- Design, build, and maintain a semantic layer of data - a governed, business-ready data foundation that serves as the trusted source for BI, reporting, and AI data agents
- Work with stakeholders to understand needs for data structure, availability, and accessibility
- Selecting and integrating any data tools and frameworks required to provide requested capabilities
- Implement data security and protection practices
