- Support migration initiatives from legacy platforms (e.g., Teradata, Hadoop-type environments) to Azure
- Collaborate with data engineering teams to ensure scalable, reliable data architecture
- Support the revamp of internal dashboards and reporting frameworks
- Transition legacy reporting (e.g., Power BI dashboards) toward more scalable, product-oriented data solutions
- Work closely with analytics teams to translate business insights into technical solutions
- Partner with business, product, and technical stakeholders to define requirements and deliver solutions
- Operate effectively within a Big 4 consulting model, managing multiple workstreams and client expectations
- Communicate technical concepts clearly to non-technical stakeholders
