You will bring a technical lens to infrastructure, deployment practices, and architecture, and act as a trusted technical voice within the team. You will operate within the ClarusONE data governance framework, ensuring sensitive data is properly protected and that data can be traced end to end through its lifecycle. You will work closely with Analytics, Data Science, Software Engineering, and IT/Infrastructure to maintain an accurate, efficient, and compliant data environment - and will communicate confidently with stakeholders across the business, including Finance.
