- Develop and manage a data lake / warehouse strategy that supports AI readiness, predictive analytics, and automation.
Data Integrity
- Oversee efforts to eliminate data silos, resolve ID mismatches (e.g., PEOID discrepancies), and ensure synchronization across platforms.
- Design and enforce best practices for data hygiene, validation, and mapping logic across the enterprise.
Governance, Security & Compliance
- Establish standards for data governance, including access controls, data classification, confidentiality, and auditability.
- Ensure data solutions comply with internal security standards and any applicable legal or regulatory requirements.
- Partner with IT and Security to align infrastructure with data protection and cybersecurity protocols.

- Support business units in evaluating and piloting AI/ML initiatives, ensuring data pipelines and platforms are aligned with future needs.
- Identify and recommend opportunities for tool commercialization to Prism clients.
Cross-Functional Collaboration and Leadership
- Act as a strategic partner to leaders in Finance, HR, IT, Operations, and beyond to drive enterprise-wide data solutions.
- Serve as a Center of Excellence (CoE) for best practices in database engineering, analytics, and data architecture.
- Provide technical mentorship and guidance to data engineers, analysts, and cross-functional teams.
Vendor & Tool Evaluation
- Evaluate and recommend third-party tools, platforms, and services related to data warehousing, BI, and integration.
- Complete alternative identification, cost-benefits analyses, gap analyses, and RFPs as needed related to third-party data services and technology.
- Lead or participate in vendor negotiations and manage external partnerships, as necessary.
Qualifications
Required
- 15+ years of experience in data engineering, database architecture, or data analytics, including at least 5 years in a leadership role.
- Proven experience designing and managing enterprise-grade data warehouses (Snowflake, Azure, etc.).
- Deep knowledge of SQL, ETL design, data modeling, and integration methodologies (APIs, etc.).
- Demonstrated experience implementing data governance, security frameworks, and access control mechanisms.
- Ability to assess and optimize cloud cost structures (e.g., Snowflake storage vs. compute).
- Excellent strategic thinking, with the ability to balance near-term delivery with long-term scalability.
- Exceptional communication skills, especially in translating complex technical issues into business context.
Preferred
- Familiarity with tools and systems like ClientSpace, Prism, iSolved, Salesforce, and other payroll or CRM platforms.
- Experience with AI/ML model enablement or automation tools (e.g., RPA, scripting).
