• Define and execute data quality controls (rowcount checks, checksums/hashes, referential integrity, threshold/exception reports) and drive rootcause analysis for data issues.
• Partner with ETL and app teams on incremental/CDC strategies, load windows, and performance considerations; validate loads and reconcile with sources.
• Support reporting and analytics deliverables (Power BI/SSRS): field definitions, semantic model requirements, and validation of calculations/filters against business rules.
