Medallion Architecture Implementation
Partner with data engineering leads to enforce standards for data contracts, schema versioning, partition strategies, and metadata management across all layers.
Vendor & Partner Management
Lead RFP processes, vendor selection, and contract negotiations for cloud platforms, data integration tools, and systems integrators.
Evaluate vendor roadmaps against customers Insurance’s long-term data strategy and provide recommendations on build vs. buy vs. partner decisions.
Drive effective governance of third-party delivery teams embedded within the program, ensuring alignment with internal standards and culture.
Cross-Functional Stakeholder Alignment
Partner with Change Management and Communications to ensure organizational readiness, training, and adoption of modernized data capabilities.
