• Establish and enforce naming conventions and data standards, ensuring consistency across the Lakehouse, Warehouse, Power BI models, and SAP BO universes. 
• Contribute to data lineage transparency and documentation, and to the evolution and rationalisation of analytical platforms and data models. 
• Collaborate with data engineers, BI developers, and analysts, translating business requirements into scalable analytical data solutions.
