Stakeholder & Cross-Team Engagement

Work closely with analytics, BI, & business partners to translate requirements into scalable data solutions.
Partner with BI teams to ensure curated datasets are analytics-ready for Qlik.
Communicate technical decisions, risks, and tradeoffs clearly and collaboratively.

Required Qualifications:
