  • Data Management and Architecture: Develop scalable data architecture solutions that ensure high performance, reliability, and accessibility of workforce data across the organization.
  • Collaboration and Stakeholder Management: Work closely with cross-functional teams including HR, business units, and IT to align data engineering efforts with business needs and strategic goals.

Who You Are

You're good at what you do and possess the required experience to prove it. You have a growth mindset; keen to drive your own personal and professional development, and to support others in theirs. You take your work seriously and prioritize customer impact.
