Translate complex commercial contracts - including joint/split deals and strategic accounts - into structured, reusable data frameworks that integrate cleanly into operational and reporting workflows.
Partner with Business Intelligence and Systems Analytics to shape Data Warehouse architecture and ETL workflows, ensuring downstream analytics always run on validated, trusted inputs.
