  • Work closely with Data Quality, Data Science, and RPA teams to support cross‑functional initiatives.
  • Conduct workshops and provide best‑practice guidance to internal teams.
  • Mentor and support junior data analysts to build internal capabilities.
  • Drive alignment on KPIs and definitions across business units for consistent reporting.
  • Innovation & Value Creation

  • Enable data monetization by preparing reusable curated datasets and APIs.
  • Contribute directly to business ROI through cost savings, improved insights, and faster data‑driven decision‑making.
  • Deliver clear documentation, blueprints, and governance playbooks as part of the engagement.
