• Develop a strategic AI/ML enablement plan leveraging Snowflake Cortex and third-party LLM integrations to power predictive analytics and business intelligence
• Drive adoption of a Semantic Layer / Metrics Layer to create a single source of truth for business KPIs
• Review and enhance the data governance framework including ownership, lineage, classification, and access controls

• 8+ years of progressive experience in Data Engineering, Business Intelligence, or Data Platform roles
• 3+ years in a leadership or management capacity overseeing data engineering teams
• Deep hands-on expertise with Snowflake: architecture, performance optimization, cost management, and security
• Strong background with ETL/ELT tooling - Qlik Talend, Fivetran, or equivalent enterprise platforms
• Proven track record of modernizing legacy data platforms in production environments
• Experience designing and enforcing data governance, quality, and observability frameworks
• Demonstrated ability to translate technical complexity into business-aligned roadmaps and executive-level communication

Preferred Qualifications:
